The National Alcohol Research Center’s Scientific Advisory Board supports and helps guide our ongoing work and provides advice in planning future activities.  Members include both University of California faculty and external scientists experienced with alcohol epidemiology and research center operations. Members also have expertise in disparities research on alcohol and health, both in the US and internationally with each bringing a unique set of skills to the work we do. Board members also represent the disciplines that are at the heart of the Center’s scientific program including public health, epidemiology, medicine, economics, psychology, public policy, genetics, neuropharmacology and psychopharmacology.
