the San Diego State University. He was a Visiting Professor at the Institute of Neurology University of London for a year in both 1980 and 1987, and Visiting Professor of Immunology at St. Mary's Hospital Medical School (now part of the Imperial College School of Medicine). Contributions to science Grant's primary research has focused on the effects of diseases and substance abuse on brain and behavior. His work on alcoholism demonstrated that long-term abstinence was associated with normalization in neurocognitive functions and long-term survival. He led the Collaborative Neuropsychological Study of Polydrug Users in the 1970s, one of the earliest studies into the effects of multiple drug use on the brain. In the next decade he coordinated studies into the effects of hypoxemia, and oxygen treatment, on cognitive functions in people with COPD. He established the multidisciplinary and translational HIV Neurobehavioral Research Center (HNRC) in 1989. The HIV Neurobehavioral Research Program https://hnrp.hivresearch.ucsd.edu/index.php has contributed to understanding of how HIV can disrupt brain function, and how abuse of drugs such as methamphetamine can compound this injury. In 2000 he established the Center for Medicinal Cannabis Research https://www.cmcr.ucsd.edu, focused on potential uses, and limitations, of cannabinoids as medicines. Another theme in Grant's research focused on the effects of stress on health. He reported that stressful life events were associated with onset and worsening of symptoms of multiple sclerosis. Work on the stress experienced by elderly spousal caregivers of dementia patients explored how negative affect, sleep disturbance, and sympatho-adrenal-medullary arousal contributed to cardiovascular risk in care providers. Contributions to education At the UCSD School of Medicine Grant coordinated the development of a multipart interdisciplinary core course in Social and Behavioral Sciences. He co-chaired a task force to establish a Joint Doctoral Program in Clinical Psychology, a unique collaboration between UCSD's School of Medicine Department of Psychiatry and SDSU's College of Sciences Department of Psychology. Grant has served as dissertation chair for over 20 PhD graduate students, many of whom have established independent academic careers. Grant received the Paul Satz International Neuropsychological Society Career Mentoring Award in 2016. Other professional activities Grant was Founding Editor of the Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society. With Thomas Patterson, PhD. he co-founded the journal AIDS and Behavior. He has been a member of many scholarly societies. He was President of the International Neuropsychological Society from 2007-2008. Grant served on several NIH review groups, and on the National
