Substance Use, Abuse, and Addiction (SUAA) Workgroup Charge

The Substance Use, Abuse, and Addiction (SUAA) workgroup of the SMRB is convened to recommend to the full SMRB whether organizational change within NIH could further optimize research into substance use, abuse, and addiction and maximize human health and/or patient well being.

In addressing these aims, the SUAA workgroup will include in its considerations:

  1. Scientific opportunities, public health needs, and new research technologies;
  2. Research in these areas under the existing NIH structure;
  3. Criteria for contemplating changes in the organization and management of NIH today;
  4. Strategies for implementing changes in the organization and management of NIH today; and
  5. Metrics and methodologies that could be used for evaluating the impact of changes in the organization and management of NIH today.
