Obama Appoints National AIDS Policy Director

From Mark Cichocki, R.N., About.com GuideMarch 1, 2009

In a move that some in the HIV community is calling "brilliant", President Obama has named Georgetown University health policy researcher Jeffrey S. Crowley to head the Office of National AIDS Policy (ONAP). Crowley is recognized and respected for his capacity to integrate public health research with political strategy to achieve policy changes. He has authored numerous reports and policy briefs, and has testified before various Congressional Committees and the Institute of Medicine on several occasions. The ONAP was the victim of Bush Administration budget cuts but experts feel the renewed commitment by the Obama Administration will once again make the ONAP an important part of HIV and AIDS policy in the US and around the world.
