In 2001, the NCI announced the formation of Faculties and Working Groups composed
of
scientists from diverse laboratories and branches working cooperatively with
a common
interest in a particular discipline, disease, or approach to scientific
discovery. Faculties provide mechanisms to enhance and enable collaborations,
interdisciplinary research, and translational (bench-to-bedside)
science.
To encourage communication among faculty members and between
faculties, there are list serves for each faculty (list serves
are available for internal use only). Please note that there is
also a list serve of all faculty chairs, to facilitate communication
between faculties.
