| Genetics Home Reference, NLM |
The Genetics Home Reference, http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov,
is a new NLM Web-based
resource that provides consumer-friendly summaries of
genetic conditions and
related genes. Although research results from the Human
Genome Project are
freely available from scientific databases on the Internet,
little of this information
is understandable to the general public. The Genetics
Home Reference provides
a bridge between the rich data emerging from the Human
Genome Project and
the clinical questions of the public. A demonstration
of the Genetics Home
Reference will highlight the site's key features. |

| Mouse Models of Human Cancers Consortium,
NCI |
The NCI Mouse Models of Human Cancers Consortium is
a collaborative program
designed to derive and characterize mouse models. The
Consortium also generates
resources, information and innovative approaches to the
application of mouse
models in cancer research. Mouse models that recapitulate
many aspects of the
genesis, progression and clinical course of human cancers
are valuable resources to
cancer researchers engaged in a variety of basic, translational,
clinical and
epidemiological investigations |
| |
| National Center for Biotechnology Information,
NLM |
NCBI provides integrated access to DNA and protein sequence
data, associated
mapping data, protein structures, and MEDLINE. Demonstrations
of the GenBank
database, the Entrez retrieval system, PubMed for MEDLINE
searching, BLAST and
VAST similarity searches for sequence and structures,
and the BankIt and Sequin
sequence submission software will be provided. |
| |
| NIH Alumni Association |
The National Institutes of Health Alumni Association,
Inc. (NIHAA) promotes the
NIH in its role as the leading biomedical research institution
in the world. The
NIHAA is founded on the belief that service to biomedical
science can be enhanced
by an association of individuals who have conducted, supported
and administered
research at NIH. They publish a newsletter, NIHAA Update,
and also sponsor the
James A. Shannon Lecture and present two awards for Public
Service and Service to
NIH. Current NIH employees are encouraged to join as associate
members. |
| |
| NIH Office of Technology Transfer |
The Office of Technology Transfer (OTT) supports the
translational aims of NIH
research by partnering with industry. OTT performs these
duties by evaluating new
intramural discoveries for their commercial potential,
obtaining patent protection
where needed, and marketing and licensing them to industry
partners, who in turn
develop useful biomedical products. |
| |
| NIH Plain Language Program |
A few years ago, plain language emerged as a Government-wide
initiative to
improve communication with the public, other Government
agencies and within
agencies. This initiative required that all Government
documents use plain
language by January 1, 2002. The NIH promotes a very active
and successful Plain
Language Program. Early in its efforts, NIH formed a Plain
Language Coordinating
Committee (PLCC). The PLCC plays a key role in encouraging
the use of plain
language by developing and offering training, by providing
plain language
resources and by sponsoring an annual award program. |
