July Update: Interest Groups

On the Edge of E-biomed

Proteomics

1. The Committee of Public Representatives (COPR) has had its first meeting (see story). What is your general reaction to the exitsence of such a group? How can it prove most valuable to NIH research efforts?

2. What are your thoughts on the Vaccine Research Center? (See stories on the VRC and its director.)

3. A town meeting on the proposed NIH graduate program was held May 24. Tell us what you thought of what was said and your own ideas about the issue.

4. In this issue is a notice of a URL address for the E-biomed proposal. Check it out, and in addition to e-mailing your response online, if you are so inclined, send us your reactions as well. We're planning on covering the whole idea in a near-future issue.
