The background of the project includes working in the NIDAs Women & Gender Research Coordinator coordinates within-Institute activities relating to research on womens health and sex/gender differences, serves as the NIDA representative to the NIH Office of Research on Womens Health Coordinating Committee on Womens Health, and serves as chair of NIDAs Women and Gender Research Group (WGRG). In these capacities, responsibilities of the Coordinator include programmatic planning and coordination of drug abuse research on womens health and sex/gender differences; promoting and facilitating high-quality research applications in this area; information sharing within the Institute and among ICs; responding to inquiries from DHHS, the NIH Office of Research on Womens Health, the scientific research community, and the public; dissemination of research findings to the research community and to the public; and liaison activities with professional organizations. Activities to be conducted include the following: Use NIH grants databases including CRISP, Quick View and QVR, as well as Reference Manager to complete and maintain a database of NIDA-awarded grants dealing with women and sex/gender differences. Use the NIH library utilities including PubMed, PsychInfo, Online Journals, and Porpoise to identify and compile drug abuse research articles dealing with women, gender differences and drug abuse. Prepare reviews of NIDA-supported research published during years 2005-2006 on women and sex/gender differences in various NIDA-wide areas of research including basic human and animal laboratory research, adolescence, HIV/AIDS, prevention and treatment. Using data from national surveys such as the National Survey on Drug Use and Health and Monitoring the Future, construct graphs for PowerPoint presentation showing sex differences in drug abuse. Other literature review and PowerPoint presentations as needed. The priority and due dates of the activities will be determined by the Women & Gender Research Coordinator. Specific due dates within each project are subject to change depending upon changing opportunities and priorities within the Women and Sex/Gender Differences Program.
