Investigators whose abstracts are deemed appropriate will be invited to present and discuss their research during a proposal development workshop in October 2000. The formal proposal presentations and final selections will be in January 2001. The final selections will be included in a five-year competing application to the National Cancer Institute in the form of RO1 type applications. The applications will be submitted in the fall of 2001. For details, contact principal investigators Ken Pienta, M.D., or Kathy Cooney.
