Bioinformatics' Grimmest Task

Getting a Grip on Global Health

1. NIH's new director has challenged NIH investigators to identify key knowledge gaps that block the advance of biomedical science. What do you see as the one most important unanswered question in biomedical research today?

2. How can the NIH Special Interest Groups be utilized more effectively to advance the NIH science agenda?

3. How can NIH resources best be used in responding to precipitous national events such as the threat of bioterrorism?

4. What features of the Catalyst do you most appreciate? What issues would you like to see covered—or not covered?
