139th Meeting of the National Advisory Research Resources Council

May 14
National Institutes of Health
Building 31, 6th Floor, Conference Room 10
31 Center Drive
Bethesda, MD 20892

During the May 14, 2008, meeting of the National Advisory Research Resources Council, Dr. Barbara Alving will provide an update on the progress of formulating NCRR’s 2009-2013 Strategic Plan. The agenda also features reports on a wide range of NCRR-supported activities that enhance the participation of minority, rural, and other underserved communities in the nation’s biomedical research enterprise. During this session, examples from the IDeA and CSTA programs will highlight challenges and best practices to ensure broad community engagement in clinical and translational research.

Additional presentations will describe advances that have been made in the mouse BIRN testbed; provide a progress report from last year’s evaluation of the Biomedical Technology Research Resources; and convey an initial report of the Division of Comparative Medicine’s 3 types of institutional National Research Service Awards for scientists with a veterinary background. There will also be a special presentation by Dr. Jay Hove, recipient of the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers.
