\section*{A. Personal Statement}\label{a.-personal-statement}

I have the expertise, leadership, training, expertise and motivation
necessary to successfully carry out the proposed research project. I
have a broad background in psychology, with specific training and
expertise in ethnographic and survey research and secondary data
analysis on psychological aspects of drug addiction. My research
includes neuropsychological changes associated with addiction. As PI or
co-Investigator on several university- and NIH-funded grants, I laid the
groundwork for the proposed research by developing effective measures of
disability, depression, and other psychosocial factors relevant to the
aging substance abuser, and by establishing strong ties with community
providers that will make it possible to recruit and track participants
over time as documented in the following publications. In addition, I
successfully administered the projects (e.g. staffing, research
protections, budget), collaborated with other researchers, and produced
several peer-reviewed publications from each project. As a result of
these previous experiences, I am aware of the importance of frequent
communication among project members and of constructing a realistic
research plan, timeline, and budget. The current application builds
logically on my prior work. During 2005-2006 my career was disrupted due
to family obligations. However, upon returning to the field I
immediately resumed my research projects and collaborations and
successfully competed for NIH support.

\section*{C. Contribution to Science}\label{c.-contribution-to-science}

1. My early publications directly addressed the fact that substance
abuse is often overlooked in older adults. However, because many older
adults were raised during an era of increased drug and alcohol use,
there are reasons to believe that this will become an increasing issue
as the population ages. These publications found that older adults
appear in a variety of primary care settings or seek mental health
providers to deal with emerging addiction problems. These publications
document this emerging problem but guide primary care providers and
geriatric mental health providers to recognize symptoms, assess the
nature of the problem and apply the necessary interventions. By
providing evidence and simple clinical approaches, this body of work has
changed the standards of care for addicted older adults and will
continue to provide assistance in relevant medical settings well into
the future. I served as the primary investigator or co-investigator in
all of these studies.

2. In addition to the contributions described above, with a team of
collaborators, I directly documented the effectiveness of various
intervention models for older substance abusers and demonstrated the
importance of social support networks. These studies emphasized
contextual factors in the etiology and maintenance of addictive
disorders and the disruptive potential of networks in substance abuse
treatment. This body of work also discusses the prevalence of alcohol,
amphetamine, and opioid abuse in older adults and how networking
approaches can be used to mitigate the effects of these disorders.

3. Methadone maintenance has been used to treat narcotics addicts for
many years but I led research that has shown that over the long-term,
those in methadone treatment view themselves negatively and they
gradually begin to view treatment as an intrusion into normal life.
Elderly narcotics users were shown in carefully constructed ethnographic
studies to be especially responsive to tailored social support networks
that allow them to eventually reduce their maintenance doses and move
into other forms of therapy. These studies also demonstrate the policy
and commercial implications associated with these findings.
