provide specific updates on requests for applications and other
initiatives currently in circulation, describe future opportunities and

Discovery, Research Teams of the Future, and Re-engineering the
Clinical Research Enterprise.
Representatives from academic health centers, professional
organizations, and health advocacy groups are particularly encouraged
