Dr. Charles Dunlap, CRDF Senior Program Manager for Institution Building programs, has worked for nearly a decade developing scientific institutions and conducting research in environmental geochemistry. Following post-doctoral work in the Environmental Toxicology Department at the University of California, Santa Cruz, he worked from 1999 through 2004 as Director and Assistant Professor of the Environmental Conservation and Research Center at the American University of Armenia (an affiliate institution of the University of California). During that time he guided the development of the research center; oversaw research projects in water quality, air pollution, forest conservation, and soil contamination; and consulted on international development projects. Dr. Dunlap served as chair of the University's Curriculum Committee, chair of the University's Technology Committee, and as the first elected chair of the Faculty Council. He received a B.A. in English and a B.A. in Geology (Summa Cum Laude) from Amherst College in 1989. He received a Ph.D. in Geology/Geochemistry from the University of California, Santa Cruz in 1996, where he was a U.C. Regents Scholar and recipient of an IGPP fellowship at Los Alamos National Labs.

Dr. Dunlap came to CRDF in 2004 to oversee four scientific foundations that CRDF has established in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Moldova. His responsibilities have expanded to include oversight of CRDF's Virtual Science Libraries program and development of conferences and a curriculum for professional skills training for researchers.
