CLOSE DEADLINE: NIH Academic-Community Partnership Conference Series

Apologies for the late notice. Please note that the May 30 deadline is for notification of interest in applying, so if you are at all interested, please send a note as directed--the internal deadline for the actual proposals isn't until August 12, 2013. So there's still a good amount of time to translate your ideas to proposals!
