The first is the strategic support and conduct of research across a broad range of disciplines. The second is ensuring the rapid and effective dissemination of research results to improve practice and inform policy related to drug misuse and addiction. DNB鈥檚 mission is to discover, facilitate, and promote outstanding basic animal and human research on both behavioral and brain aspects of drug use and addiction, to identify the causes and consequences of drug use disorders and addiction across the lifespan, and to provide the scientific foundation for treatment and prevention strategies of drug addiction.</p><p>The incumbent of this position serves as the Director of the Division of Neuroscience and Behavior (DNB), which is one of the six Divisions/Centers comprising NIDA鈥檚 organizational structure. The DNB Director is one of the top five senior leadership positions that directly reports to and advises the NIDA Director. The incumbent provides scientific executive leadership, direction, and vision for NIDA鈥檚 basic neuroscience and behavioral extramural research program of national and international scope focused on (1) the neurobiological mechanisms of substance use and addiction and (2) the effects of illicit drugs on brain function through integrated research programs in genetics, systems neuroscience, behavioral and cognitive neuroscience, chemistry, neuropharmacology, and HIV/AIDS-related neuroimmunology. To carry out these responsibilities, the DNB Director identifies emerging as well as underrepresented basic science research priorities; expands the scope and breath of the basic science portfolio; provides scientific merit review of a broad range of research grants, cooperative agreements, and contracts for the Institute; develops an interdisciplinary scientific portfolio by collaborating with other Divisions and experts across NIDA, NIH Institutes/Centers (ICs), government, and private organizations; and promotes NIDA鈥檚 basic neuroscience and behavioral research agenda by representing the Institute at national and international conferences.</p><p>The DNB Director provides managerial leadership and direction of four research branches, Genetics, Epigenetics, & Developmental Neuroscience Branch (GEDN), Integrative Neuroscience Branch (INB), Chemistry & Pharmacology Branch (CP), and Behavioral & Cognitive Neuroscience Branch (BCN) with cross-cutting themes spanning across all branches including Data Science, HIV/AIDS, and Sex Differences. The Division Director has line authority of the Division Deputy Director, branch chiefs (4), program officers (3), and administrative support staff (1), provides administrative oversight of other program officials (15), analytical (3) and support staff (2), and oversees the Division鈥檚 annual budget totaling $325M.
