Name of Project: Drug Abuse Treatment: Process,
Outcomes, and Social Policy
Principal Investigator: M. Douglas Anglin
Funding Agency: National Institute on Drug Abuse
(NIDA)
Funding Period: September 2000-August 2005
Scope of Project: The NIDA Senior Scientist Award
(K05) provides support for exemplary researchers who have consistently
and productively devoted themselves to advancing the empirical
understanding of substance abuse and its amelioration. The award
enables such esteemed scientists to pursue their professional
endeavors and to develop their research capabilities unencumbered
by the constraint of seeking salary through research funding.
In 1999, after providing seven years of support through Research
Scientist Development Awards and Independent Scientist Awards,
NIDA granted Dr. Anglin the K05 award for a five-year span to
support his
continued work in the following areas: (1) to provide direction
for ISAP; (2) to conduct research that advances the scientific
understanding of substance abuse and treatment; (3) to promote
integration of research findings into policymaking, serving to
bridge the gap between research and practice, and to improve practice
standards
for the delivery of publicly funded treatment for substance abuse;
and (4) to promote education and training of junior investigators
and postdoctoral fellows in substance abuse research. As an Associate
Director of ISAP, Dr. Anglin continues to guide the organization’s
multidisciplinary approach to studying the patterns and consequences
of substance abuse, which has yielded major contributions to the
field in such areas as research methods, treatment development,
treatment evaluation, and the forming of policy related to substance
abuse and its treatment.
