  39. Update on the Blue Ribbon Task Force Report NIDA has addressed all 6 goals and 24 recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Task Force. 1. Define drug abuse services research at NIDA: Achieved 2. Fund more research on organization, management, and economics: Progress made, effort ongoing 3. Develop standards for evidence-based practice: Progress made, effort ongoing 4. Develop collaborative research: Achieved,effort ongoing • Fund research to understand widely used common practices that have not been studied: Progress made, effort ongoing • Encourage use of research designs that permit causal inferences: Progress made, effort ongoing

  40. Services Research at NIDA:Enhancing Adoption of Evidence-Based Practices • CTN as a platform for service studies • Criminal Justice Drug Abuse Treatment Studies (CJ-DATS) (SAMHSA co-fund) • Primary Care Initiative (SAMHSA co-fund) • RFA in FY 2005 on Enhancing State Capacity to Foster Adoption of Science-Based Practices (SAMHSA co-fund) • Funding research within the SAMHSA Strategic Prevention Framework program using state epidemiology systems

  41. Future Directions:Key Research Questions What are the characteristics of interventions that can: • reach large numbers of people • be broadly adopted by different settings • be consistently implemented by staff with moderate training/expertise • produce replicable and long-lasting effects at a reasonable cost

All other employees (that is, those who do not file either of these reports) are subject to a $15,000 cap on holdings in such companies. There is an exception from both rules for a financial interest, such as a pension or other employee benefit, arising from employment with a substantially affected organization and widely diversified, publicly traded mutual funds.

  48. Summary of NIH-Specific Provisions in Interim Final Rule Awards – 5 C.F.R. §5501.111 Senior employees may not receive gifts with an aggregate market value of more than $200 that are an award given because of their official position or from a prohibited source.

Employees, generally, may receive awards from outside sources that are nothing more than plaques or trophies of little intrinsic value and free attendance and food at the event in which employee is honored. There is an exception to the ban that may permit the acceptance of gifts with a aggregate market value of more than $200 that are associated with the most prestigious awards that confer an exceptionally high honor in the fields of medicine or scientific research, e.g., Nobel, Lasker, if the award is otherwise approvable.
