1. How will availability of human embryonic stem cells influence your scientific work? What exciting science do you think will emerge from the study of human embryonic stem cells?

 


2. Should the Vaccine Research Center continue its focus on HIV vaccines or, given recent events, accelerate the timetable for broadening its approach?

 


3. The NIH Graduate Partnerships Program is growing. What effect do you think this will have on NIH?

 


4. Do you feel comfortable with the Clinical CenterŐs new strategy to handle the use of herbs and other alternative agents by patients on protocol?

 


5. What is your opinion of the NIH human research protection program? What do you think of the idea of formal accreditation of such programs?

 

The NIH Catalyst is published bimonthly for and by the intramural scientists at NIH. Address correspondence to Building 2, Room 2W23, NIH, Bethesda, MD 20892. Ph: (301) 402-1449; fax: (301) 402-4303; e-mail: <catalyst@nih.gov>.
