NIH Common Fund Programs Emphasize Collaborative Research
Seven new research programs encouraging collaborative research across biology, behavioral sciences, global health and clinical medicine were announced last week as part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Common Fund Programs. The programs, which are scheduled to begin in 2010, expect to yield scientific discoveries and new and better treatments by capitalizing on emerging technologies. Programs to create a national stem cell center and increase capacity for global health research are among the new scientific initiatives. NIH anticipates awarding $17.8 million to support the programs in FY10. More information is available at: http://commonfund.nih.gov/
