We are extremely pleased to announce the relaunching of the ASP Newsletter, now in a web-only format. I hope you will enjoy this newly imagined presentation. It has been almost a year since we published our last Newsletter, and that time was spent working on developing this new format and was not an easy task. I appreciate all the time and effort so many people have put into this Newsletter makeover.

Being a Program Officer at NCCIH for the past 16 years has been the most rewarding job I have ever held. The ability to shape priorities and support the ASP research community was enormously gratifying. During my tenure I watched as the number of ASP presentations and posters acknowledging NCCIH support went from minimal to substantial. Despite my high job satisfaction, I have always maintained a variety of interests and activities outside of my job with NCCIH. Additionally, the work environment has taken a dramatic turn for the worse recently. So, when presented with the “fork in the road” from the current administration, I decided to take the offer. As of March 7, I am no longer a federal employee.
