Vol. 6 No. 9

Dear Colleagues,

Ready for a Road trip? The release of NIH’s Roadmap this month provides some encouraging news about the agency’s commitment to bringing more of its discoveries to bear on improving the nation’s health. HABIT readers will be among the first to recognize the value of multidisciplinary collaborations, improved clinical research training and rewards for innovative research.

Biobehavioral science has much to contribute to each of these Roadmap initiatives, and we hope that you’ll lend your support to make sure that they find a significant place as Dr. Zerhouni and the rest of NIH go forward.

Cheers --

Jessie Gruman, Ph.D.
President and Executive Director
Center for the Advancement of Health
