[DIV28SUPER] Reminder Request: Head Count for APA Division 28 Mixer at CPDD

Dear all

I thank those who have already responded to the initial request as to whether you will attend the APA Division 28 mixer at CPDD next Wednesday June 22 (6-8 pm) at the Westin Diplomat in Hollywood Florida.  

I'd like to ensure sufficient food and drink for everyone, so this is a friendly reminder to respond to me by tomorrow if you plan to attend.  Please be sure to indicate if you will bring a new recruit (which I hope you will do).  (Even if you don't, you're welcome to attend.)  If you bring a new member, remember that you get to draw for a prize and they will get first-year free membership!

See you soon for this win-win event.

Thanks, Mark

[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.
