  2. NIH R24DA017298 Minority Institution Drug Abuse Research Program (MIDARP) at Charles Drew University of Medicine & ScienceDrug Addiction is a Brain Disease and it MattersFunded September 2004Competitive renewal funded September 2008Program officer: Vishnudutt Purohit, Ph.D.

  3. NIH R24DA017298 Diversity Institution Drug Abuse Research Program (DIDARP) at Charles Drew University of Medicine & ScienceMetabolic Effects of Nicotine: It Matters Submitted September 2012Excellent score, but no funding available-May 2013Bridge money generously supplied by Dr. Shurtleff and NIDA June 2013Program officer: Vishnudutt Purohit, Ph.D.

  4. DIDARP Specific Aims • To increase the number of high quality drug addiction research projects related to the metabolic effects of nicotine to allow CDU to develop expertise and acquire preliminary data to be able to compete for NIDA P01, P50 or R01 grants; • To continue to foster interest in substance abuse research among under-represented students and other trainees by providing meaningful educational and research experiences; and • To continue to enhance the research infrastructure at CDU to support substance abuse research.

  5. DIDARP Theme • The theme of the training and education program is “Metabolic Effects of Nicotine: It Matters” • Incorporates expertise at CDU in both the basic and clinical aspects of substance abuse. • Lead to collaborations with UCLA, Western University, CSU-DH, CSU-SB, Cal-tech, UTEP

  6. MIDARP Student Involvement • Students rotating in basic science labs and on clinical projects • CSUDH-undergraduate/Master’s students • CSUDH-Bridges Program -El Camino College, Compton College • King-Drew Magnet High School • CDU medical students and MPH students

  7. Research Day Goals • Highlight substance abuse research at CDU and its affiliates • Exposure of student and trainee research on substance abuse • Expose potential trainees to potential substance abuse mentors • Bring together substance abuse researchers for future seminars and funding opportunities • Exposure of research on substance abuse at CDU to research and teaching faculty, physicians from the surrounding community including MLK-Ambulatory Care Clinic and health clinics, drug abuse counselors, medical students, allied health professionals, community based health organization leaders, and other health care professionals
