This is a message I received from ASCB regarding the dissolution of the NCRR
and the SIG funding:

I have followed the discussions by the NIH Scientific Management Review
Board and a subsequent conference call by Dr. Collins that took place in early
December. Dr. Collins was clear that even if the programs currently housed at
the NCRR are reassigned, their operation will not be changed. The changes
being made to the NCRR do, however, appear to be a work in progress and
the Public Policy Committee and I will continue to follow it.

The ASCB Public Policy Committee discussed this at our meeting in December
at the ASCB Annual Meeting and we will continue to watch it.

Thank you for sharing your concern with me.

Please do not hesitate to stay in touch with me on this or any other issue.
