Gelernter, M.D., professor of psychiatry, Robert Malison, M.D., associate professor of psychiatry, and colleagues have been awarded a $1.6 million grant from the Fogarty International Center of the National Institutes of Health and seven partners. The grant, one of six new research and training grants made by the center, is to be used to conduct an international research-training program in the genetics of drug dependence.

The project will support Thai research fellowships for training in the United States and a one-month field exchange in Thailand for U.S. trainees.
