  2. I’m resending the article Stacey sent out on 2/8 (link below). We’re hopeful the author, who now works for the NIH, will be available to join our April 11th  virtual meeting to share some of her learnings from the project and hear about what is happening in your t/u programs.

  3. Regrettably, it won’t be possible to have a virtual meeting this month. We’ll get back on track April 11th , 1-2pm. I’ll send a reminder prior and let you know if Sheila Fleischhacker, PhD JD will be joining us too.
