REGIONAL TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH CENTERS SUMMER MEETING RELEASE DATE: June 10, 2004 NOTICE: NOT-AT-04-006 National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) (http://nccam.nih.gov) One of the NIH Roadmap (http://nihroadmap.nih.gov) initiatives proposed to facilitate Re-engineering the Clinical Research Enterprise is establishment of Regional Translational Research Centers. In an effort to receive broad input from all relevant constituencies and stakeholders, NIH will hold a one-day meeting on July 16, 2004 in Bethesda, Maryland. If you are interested in attending this meeting, please go to http://nccam.nih.gov/rtrc/index.htm . Self-nomination forms will be available by June 11, 2004. We will be able to accommodate up to twenty attendees selected from these self-nominations. Staff will review these self-nominations and make selections from them in an effort to ensure a wide diversity of backgrounds and perspectives. The self-nomination period will be open until June 17, 2004. The selected prospective attendees will be notified by July 2, 2004. As NIH may not be able to accommodate all parties interested in attending, it is our intention to set up a comment area on the Roadmap website to facilitate input by all interested parties. Comments will be invited both prior and subsequent to the meeting, after which a summary will be posted on the web. Efforts will also be made to webcast portions of the meeting to allow the broadest possible participation. It is our hope that you will regard NIH’s efforts as your Roadmap and that you will share your ideas and wisdom with us. We look forward to hearing from you.
