Abstract

Health. After joining the NIMH in 1963, he held a number of increasingly responsible positions in the areas of applied and services research, and knowledge transfer. As shall become clear through reading these &dquo;essays in tribute,&dquo; Howard R. Davis, or &dquo;Howie&dquo; as he was called, was a man large in intellect and spirit, as well as physical size. He was a scholar intent on discerning what he referred to as &dquo;reliable knowledge,&dquo; blessed with an artist's sensitivities and a creative intellect intensely concerned about how things would really work out in practice. Among his primary endowments was a warm and enthusiastic supportiveness, teamed with generosity and no small measure of humility. As an individual, he felt that he had experienced life on &dquo;both sides now,&dquo; so that he can best be remembered for his abiding concern and drive to help the lesser of us achieve more of a share of life's bounty.
