On the Move
Welcome to:
Gregg Davis, the new Program Officer for East Asia and the Pacific
in FIC's Division of International Relations. Gregg is a Lieutenant
Commander in the Commissioned Corps of the U.S. Public Health Service
and a registered pharmacist.
He comes to the FIC from the Office of Generic Drugs in the Center
for Drug Evaluation and Research at the FDA, where he served most
recently as Deputy Director of the Division of Labeling and Program
Support. This Division was responsible for regulatory affairs and
patent/legal issues as well as project management and substantive
labeling reviews for firms filing abbreviated new drug applications.
Welcome back to Jean Flagg-Newton. Jean recently returned
to FIC as a Special Assistant in the Office of the Director. She
had been serving as Deputy Director and Chief, Office of Research,
at the National Center on Minority Health and Health Disparities.
She played an important role in the early development of the NCMHD,
including the development and implementation of the three programs
authorized in the legislation that established the Center—the
Loan Repayment Programs, the NCMHD Endowment Program, and the Centers
of Excellence Programs (also called Project EXPORT). Prior to the
establishment of NCMHD in January 2001, Jean was Deputy Director
of the Office of Research on Minority Health and, before that, a
Program Officer in the FIC's Division of International Training
and Research.
