CALL FOR CATALYTIC REACTIONS

In this issue, we are asking for your reactions in four areas: the Clinical Research Implementation Plan, Alex Dent's cartoons, NIDA's review, and construction at NIH.

Send your responses on these topics or your comments on other intramural research concerns to us via e-mail: <catalyst@nih.gov>;
fax:402-4303; or mail: Building 1, Room 209.

  1. What are your reactions to the Clinical Research Implementation Plan? Will these measures be sufficient to revitalize clinical research at NIH?

  2. What are your picks for Alex Dent's best (and worst?) cartoons? What NIH subjects would you like to see "Joe Postdoc" tackle before his creator moves to more commodious pastures?

  3. Do you think NIDA's reviewers were on the mark in their criticisms and recommendations for the institute? What suggestions or comments would you add?

  4. Do NIH's building plans lay the right foundations for research in the 21st century? What other considerations should NIH be taking into account?

In Future Issues...

  • Nursing's New Scientific Director

  • Laser-Capture Microdissection

  • NIH's Vanity Fare
