If you are interested in applying for a NIDA Diversity Supplement please contact Dr. Angela Holmes at angela.holmes2@nih.gov.

The NIDA ORTDD is proud to share that the first ever virtual NIH Diversity Supplement Professional Development and Networking Workshop that took place on August 30-31, 2022, and brought together over 20 institutes, centers, and organizations to host more than 600 diversity scholars at the undergraduate, post-baccalaureate, pre-doctoral, post-doctoral and early investigator/faculty career levels.

The two-day workshop provided scholars the opportunity to share their research and get feedback during poster sessions, hear about NIH Diversity Equity Inclusion Accessibility (DEIA) efforts, gain knowledge about NIH funding and training opportunities specific for their career stages and beyond, receive information about the NIH grant and review process, learn how to choose a mentor, network with NIH staff and other scholars, hear from past scholars about their journey to becoming an independent investigator, and learn about other scientific career paths.

The workshop was a fantastic event and was well received by NIH colleagues, scholars, and principal investigators. We heard from many scholars that the information provided during the ‘Meet with a PO’ session was beneficial and invaluable to them and for some this was the first time they had ever spoken to an NIH program officer! Moreover, the talks and presentations were inspiring and informative. See the workshop agenda for more details. Finally, participants really enjoyed the ability to network within the Gather Town platform as it so closely mimicked an in-person meeting! We would like to thank all the scholars, NIH staff, presenters, and meeting organizers for their help with making this workshop a huge success! To learn more about the NIDA Diversity Supplement Program and how to apply, please contact Dr. Angela Holmes or visit the NIDA Diversity Supplement Program webpage.

NIDA Diversity Scholars Network Program, Mock Grant Review

Congratulations to the 2022 NIDA Diversity Scholars Network (NDSN) Program participants! This year, 10 scholars were selected to participate in NIDA’s comprehensive grant-writing program, NDSN. The NDSN program is a 3-part program aimed at increasing the funding success of early career investigators conducting substance use and addiction research.

Upon acceptance into the program, each scholar was matched with a NIDA Program Officer (PO) and Coach (external addiction scientist conducting similar research) to work on their grant application they plan to submit to NIH shortly after participating in the program. The Part I meeting included a Meet & Greet and a presentation from Dr. Albert Avila on funding opportunities. The Part II meeting featured a presentation from Dr. Avila on grant writing strategies and the NIH review process. It also included a presentation from the Center for Scientific Review’s (CSR), Dr. Aruna Behera, on the Early Career Reviewer (ECR) program. The meeting concluded with a Q&A discussion with a past NDSN scholar: Dr. Tamara Taggart. Scholars were able to hear about lessons learned throughout Dr. Taggart’s career journey to becoming an independent NIDA investigator.

The highly anticipated Part III was a two-day meeting, starting with the Mock Review study section meeting and ending with several different career development presentations and talks. Scholars were able to listen to their grant applications be reviewed in real time and had the opportunity to engage in an informal discussion with reviewers at the end of meeting. Part III concluded with an inspiring presentation from past NDSN scholar Dr. Yihong Zhao, presentations on secondary data analysis from NIDA staff Drs. Carmen Rosa, Abigail Matthews, and Marsha Lopez and an encouraging talk from Dr. Avila on resilience. We would like to commend each of the scholars on their hard work throughout the year and thank all the NIDA POs, Coaches, and Reviewers for their time and support for this program!

The 2023 NDSN application will open November 21, 2022. Apply on the NIDA ORTDD website and contact Isabela Lopes (Isabela.Lopes@nih.gov) with any questions.

2023 Summer Research Internship Program – Mentor Request

The 2023 NIDA summer research internship program is looking for principal investigators to register to mentor interns for the upcoming program.  The online registration can be found at https://nidaextshare.nida.nih.gov/SRP/PI/SitePages/Application.aspx.  The NIDA Summer Research Internship Program supports all students with a focus on increasing underrepresented populations in drug abuse research. Through this program, undergraduates aged 18 and older are introduced to the field of substance use and addiction research by participating in research internships with NIDA's distinguished scientists at universities across the United States. Students work with leading scientists for eight weeks during the summer. The internship may include laboratory experiments, data collection, data analysis, formal courses, participation in lab meetings, patient interviews, manuscript preparation, and literature reviews. In addition, it is expected that each intern will deliver a formal presentation on their research project at the end of the internship.  Below is a interview between a mentor and her intern about their experience during this year’s NIDA Summer Research Internship Program.


New HIV Seminar Series

NIDA is pleased to announce our new HIV Seminar Series with the first presentation on Wednesday, October 26th, 2022 from 1-2pm. Our guest speaker is Natasha Martin, DPHIL/PHD, from the Department of Medicine, Division of Infectious Diseases and Global Public Health at the University of California, San Diego. Dr. Martin will be speaking on “Addressing structural drivers of the syndemics on injecting drug use, HIV, HCV, and overdose: insights from modeling population impact.”


Career Development Spotlight: Sabrina Assoumou and Matthew Lemansky

2022 NIDA Summer Research Internship Program Mentor/Intern

Image
Sabrina A. Assoumou, MD MPH
Sabrina A. Assoumou, M.D. MPH

Sabrina A. Assoumou, MD MPH, is the inaugural Louis W. Sullivan, MD, Professor of Medicine, and Assistant Professor of Medicine at Boston University School of Medicine. Dr. Assoumou graduated magna cum laude from Williams College and obtained her medical degree from the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry. She then completed a combined Internal Medicine/ Pediatrics residency at Brown University and an Infectious Diseases Fellowship at Harvard University’s Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center where she was awarded the Finland Award for Research Excellence. She also earned a Master of Public Health at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Dr. Assoumou received an Excellence in Teaching Hospital-Based Faculty Award at BMC in 2017. She is also an attending physician in the section of Infectious Diseases at Boston Medical Center. She is a clinician-investigator who cares for patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) at the BUSM/BMC’s Centers for Infectious Diseases. Her research focuses on medical complications of substance use including HIV and Hepatitis C virus (HCV).  Below are her answers to some questions we asked about her experience during this year’s summer research internship.

  1. What made you decide to register to become a mentor for the 2022 summer program?
    I was eager to join as a NIDA summer program mentor because I have greatly benefited from all the programs and support offered by NIDA. I view participation in the program as one of the ways that I could pay it forward and participate in the training of the next generation of researchers in the substance use field. Throughout my career I have been fortunate to have mentors who provided helpful guidance. I have continued to use their advice as I navigate a career in academic medicine. When my turn came to be a mentor, I always remember the lessons that I learned from my mentoring network, and I try to share those lessons as I guide others on their journey as substance use researchers.
  2. What was the research that you had planned for the intern?
    One of my colleagues always underscores the importance of having “shovel-ready research projects” for students. I use that approach for summer intern projects. I would like for students/interns to participate in an ongoing project, and we work together to carve out an aspect of the project that would be meaningful for a summer program. My goal is to ensure that individuals who work with me have a product in the form of either a presentation at a conference or a manuscript submitted for publication in a scholarly journal. We also work on building a strong foundation for important skills necessary for a successful research career such as performing a thorough literature review and presenting to an audience.
  3. Was the intern very excited by the work that was given to him?
    Matthew Lemansky’s enthusiasm is one of his best assets. His enthusiasm about our research program and his specific project always encouraged me to expose him to as many aspects of the project research as possible. He was always eager to learn more and worked hard to move the project forward. He was always very responsive and put a lot of effort into reaching the milestones that we have developed for the project.
  4. Are they plans to register for the 2023 summer program?
    Working as a mentor on the NIDA summer program was a great experience. Seeing the final presentations from all the interns made me even more excited about the program. It was so great to hear about all the different projects and see what students had accomplished during the summer.
  5. Overall, how was your summer program mentor experience?
    Overall, I had a great experience. I was fortunate to be paired with Matthew Lemansky’s who was a thoughtful and hardworking intern. His enthusiasm made me even more excited about the project and we look forward to submitting the product of his summer project for publication in a scholarly journal.

Matthew Lemansky
Matthew Lemansky

Matthew Lemansky:  is a Senior student at Emmanuel College where he is majoring in Psychology with a minor is Sociology & Global Public Health.  He is an impressive student where he made the Dean’s list 5 out of 5 semesters.  During his experience as a Mental Health Specialist at McLean Hospital in the admissions unit lead him to a desire to learn more about substance use and addictions research.  His career goals are to earn a PhD in Clinical Psychology research PTSD in healthcare workers.  He’s interested in the rates of substance use amongst healthcare workers due to the pandemic.  Below are his replies from the questions that we asked him about his internship experience.

  1. What made you decide to sign up for the 2022 summer program?
    When I signed up for the program, I have worked at a psychiatric hospital for about a year and have been constantly exposed to this population. I saw the 2022 summer program as an opportunity to educate myself about people who have substance use disorders to one day better their care!
  2. What in the site description led you to wanting to pick Sabrina’s lab?
    I loved that she was conducting research in harm reduction through her NIH-funded Comprehensive HIV, HCV, OUD Response to the Unaddressed Syndemic (CHORUS) program. 
  3. What was your impression of Sabrina’s lab and the work that was given to you?
    The overall impression that I got from Dr. Assoumou’s lab would be a lot of work, but it would be rewarding at the end of the day (which it was!). Along with her ongoing project, Dr. Assoumou also wanted me to focus on my own project as well with hopes of it becoming published!
  4. Did working in Sabrina’s lab pique your interest in working in the substance use field?
    Absolutely! It made me want to also pursue harm reduction research in a potential master’s in public health (MPH)! In a shorter-term goal, it inspired me to get a job at an alcohol and drug detox center within the hospital I currently work at.
  5. Overall, how was your summer program intern experience?
    I would say overall it was life changing! I was able to build up on research skills needed for graduate school and be a part of research that was much bigger than myself. It was an amazing opportunity and would highly recommend it to anyone interested in substance use research!
