NIH Proposes Model for New Translational Science Center

A National Institutes of Health (NIH) Task Force recently released a  
“straw model” for the relocation of programs currently residing in the  
National Center for Research Resources (NCRR).  The task force was  
created after recommendations were made by the NIH Scientific  
Management Review Board to establish a new NIH National Center for  
Advancing Translational Sciences, which would dissolve the NCRR.  In  
announcing the model, Lawrence A. Tabak, D.D.S., Ph.D., co-chair of  
the task force, encouraged feedback from the research community noting  
that the model is “designed to be poked at.”  Tabak will present the  
model to the NCRR Advisory Council in a meeting to be webcast on  
January 25.
