Research Scientist Ph.D., Behavioral Neuroscience, Rutgers University, 1988 E-mail address: g.szal@tcu.edu Selected Publications

Grace Rowan-Szal joined the IBR faculty in 1990.  As a recipient of a National Research Service Award from NIDA, she was a postdoctoral trainee at the University of Pennsylvania (Department of Psychiatry and Pharmacology) in 1988.  While her early studies focused on animal models of drug dependence, Dr. Rowan-Szal’s recent research centers on behavioral treatment approaches for drug users.  Her research interests include the development of client assessment and data management systems, treatment process, gender issues, alcohol and cocaine use among methadone clients, development of a low-cost contingency management strategy for community-based drug treatment programs, and evaluation of technology transfer strategies.  She is currently Project Director for the DATAR Project.
