The NIRIS Award will support Dr David Moore, Senior Research Fellow, attendance at the International Conference for the Reduction of Drug-related Harm in Vancouver in April 2006. It will then support a 5-week visit by Dr Moore to the Centre for Research into Drugs and Health Behaviour, which is based at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. During this visit, in addition to a number of invited lectures and seminars, Dr Moore will work closely with the Centre's Director, Dr Tim Rhodes, in developing ideas for a joint grant proposal and for joint publications.
