[DIV28SUPER] Update: Reorganization of Substance Use, Abuse and Addiction (SUAA) Research at NIH

This morning, NIH Deputy Director, Dr. Lawrence Tabak, gave a presentation at the NIAAA Advisory Council meeting to provide an update on the timeline for the reorganization of SUAA research at NIH. Dr. Tabak told the group that the timeline for releasing a draft portfolio integration plan has been extended to October/November 2012. A parallel process will be designed to provide greater opportunity for stakeholder input in a strategic plan for the reorganized entity (distinct from the portfolio integration planning) with the intent that a strategic plan will be released at the same time as a portfolio integration plan. Dr. Tabak's presentation will be available on the NIH Feedback website tomorrow after he briefs the Advisory Council to the NIH Director. More details wil follow in the next editions of PSA and SPIN.

[DIV28M] Scientist Spotlight: June 2011

Hello,

Please enjoy this June edition of the Scientist Spotlight!

Kelly and Sarah

-------------------------------------------

Scientist Spotlight is a monthly series that asks senior and mid-level scientists to provide information on how they choose to balance work and life responsibilities. This column is in response to an overwhelming request from Early Career Psychologists that more information (and assistance) in learning how to balance work and life be made available.  We are hopeful that by reading how different scientists balance work and life goals and responsibilities, graduate students and Early Career Psychologists will be better prepared to develop methods for being successful in science while still meeting personal life goals. Overall, we hope you find this series useful and enjoyable!

Please contact Kelly Dunn (kdunn9@jhmi.edu) or Sarah Tragesser (stragesser@tricity.wsu.edu) to nominate someone to be highlighted in this series.
