During its 25 years of existence, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) has been influenced by many individuals and organizations. Among those shaping NIAAA's missions and their implementations, the Institute's directors played and continue to play a pivotal role. In return, the position as director of NIAAA had an impact on these men and their careers. Alcohol Health & Research World contacted the former and current directors to record their personal recollections and impressions of the alcohol field and NIAAA's role in it.
