INPUT TO NIDA ADDICTION RESEARCH PLAN

	Deadline 6 February 2008 For the past three decades, NIDA – the National Institute on Drug Abuse – has led the way in supporting research to prevent and treat drug abuse and addiction and mitigate the impact of their consequences, including the spread of HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases. Given recent revolutionary advances in drug abuse research, NIDA recently underwent a strategic planning process. The result is NIDA's Draft Strategic Plan. It outlines four major goal areas: prevention, treatment, HIV/Aids, and cross-cutting priorities, each with strategic objectives to guide NIDA's research agenda in the future. The public is invited to review this draft plan and provide comments via email to stratplan@nida.nih.gov or mail to: National Institute on Drug Abuse Attn: Draft Strategic Plan 6001 Exectutive Blvd Suite 5213, MSC 9561 Bethessa, MD 200892-9561, USA
