• Supported consultations to Center faculty by our Scientific Advisory Board.
• Brought national research leaders to our campus for scientific presentations.
• Supported 6 outstanding Ph.D and M.D. post-doctoral fellows.
• Oversaw a large educational program for audiences ranging from the general public to scientist colleagues.
• Coordinated budget management, reports to NIDA, interactions with the University, etc.
