NIDA has also partnered with the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco to support a workshop on global tobacco research at its upcoming conference

  11. History and Accomplishments Recommendation 4: NIDA should stimulate the creation of research networks within foreign countries in order to help create the necessary infrastructure for a self-sustaining research enterprise.

  12. History and Accomplishments Action 4: International Forum at CPDD (8th year) GRIP program (Global Health Research Initiative) “Packaging” Fellowships
