This Notice applies to application receipt deadlines of October
1997 and thereafter.

All applications will continue to be assigned on the basis of
established Public Health Service guidelines.  The NIDCD will also
inform the scientific community of changes in NIDCD areas of
research interest through the NIDCD Home Page.

CONTINUATIONS.  NIDCD will continue to accept applications in
response to the PAs listed below.  Applicants should continue to
enter the number and title of the active PA in item 2 on the face
