Communications of Hossein and Bill (Reply to Hossein - May 2, 2018)
Dear Hossein,
 
I will begin by exploring with my colleagues at Chestnut Health Systems whether they foresee any research opportunities through which they could collaborate with Congress 60.  I will share with them our past work together and your eagerness to pursue this type of research.  I think there could be some long-term interest in this but work could be delayed by the number of new research grants they have received this year that must be implemented in the coming months.  I will check with them and ask them to remain on the lookout for opportunities for future collaborations.  What would be ideal would be a research grant from NIDA that would involve data collection in both the U.S. and Iran. I am not sure at present what political or administrative obstacles might stand in the way of such collaboration. I think we must take the long view on this.  The more examples we can provide of research you have done in Iran in collaboration with your research and academic centers, the better would be the prospects of an international collaboration.  I will let you know in the coming weeks the information I get from my Chestnut colleagues.
 
I will give some thought to your proposal about the NA-related research.  I am currently working on a project comparing NA membership in the U.S. and Iran in collaboration with Dr. Marc Galanter from one of our universities.  That study should be complete this summer and free up some of my time to consider new projects.  I am also finishing a new edition of The History of Addiction Counseling in the United States that will be completed this summer.  After these projects, I should have more time to consider some of our continued work together.
 
Spring is passing in Southwest Florida and we are beginning to see days with temperatures in the upper 80s. Summer will arrive soon. As I get older, I seem to be much more aware of the spped at which time unfolds.
 
Thank you for your best wishes for Rita's approaching eye surgeries. We are looking forward to a positive outcome.
 
Friends and Brothers Forever,
Bill
