NIH Funding
Another thread from Purdue worth posting:



We are calling upon you again during this Independence Day holiday
period to ask you to contact your Representative in person at a local
event or by telephone to the local office by July 9th. When Congress
returns to Washington after the 4th of July recess, the House of
Representatives will consider a 1.9% increase to the NIH budget.
Between now and then, you have the opportunity to remind your
Representative of the importance of your work and let them know about
any difficulties you have encountered because of shrinking budgets.

Members of Congress have told us that they are not hearing from
researchers in the community. We must turn this around. Members and
their staffs are receptive to hearing from researchers about how the
proposed FY 2008 budget will affect their research and their careers.

Please contact your Representative either in person at a local
Independence Day event or by telephone before July 9th. Tell them your
story and let them know that they must make cancer and biomedical
research funding a national priority.

In your contact with your Representative, please mention any of the
research challenges you are facing at this time, for example: -denials
or delays in getting grant funding for meritorious research
-the impact of cuts to grants already funded
-staffing and equipment shortages
-the loss of bright young investigators to other fields
-reduced opportunities for patients to get on therapeutic clinical
trials
-cancellation or halting of important clinical trials.

In short, your Representative needs to hear about the serious effect
these low budgets are having on your research progress. Urge them to
make cancer research funding a national priority. A few minutes of
your time could help get NIH and NCI funding back on track.

Thank you for responding to this request and have an enjoyable
holiday.

William N. Hait, M.D., Ph.D., President
William G. Nelson V, M.D., Ph.D., Chair, Science Policy & Legislative
Affairs Committee
Margaret Foti, Ph.D., M.D. (h.c.), Chief Executive Officer

P.S. Please let AACR know you have made a contact with your
Representative by sending us a quick e-mail at legaffairs@aacr.org.
Just write: "I have contacted Representative X in person/by phone."

Dear flowers,

The Flow Cytometry Core Facility at the Center for Research in
Infectious
Diseases (CIENI), at the Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades
Respiratorias in
Mexico City is pleased to host the first FloCyte Regional Training
Program
in Mexico! We are offering a full week of Flow Cytometry courses in
March
2008. Dorothy Lewis and Carol Oxford will be our instructors for the
5 days
of courses. You can register for each individually or receive a
special
discount, and register for all five days for $200 off the regular
price!
Please note that the courses will be held in English, but we'll have
translators available for the Q&A sessions.

The Basic Flow Cytometry course will be held March 3-4, 2008. This
session
is excellent for beginners, and a great course for intermediate-
advanced
users looking for a stronger foundation in flow cytometry basic
theory.

The Multiparameter Flow Cytometry and Compensation course will be held
March
5, 2008. This advanced level course is for flow cytometry users who
are
interested in continuing their education in the field, and who plan to
do
sophisticated polychromatic flow cytometry experimental analyses. It
is
suggested that participates have a good foundation in basic flow
theory and
operation prior to attending this course, or have attended the basic
course.

The third course, held on Thursday March 6 will be the Intracellular
flow
course, and on Friday, the 7th we'll conclude the week with a whole
day on
Apoptosis.

If you need Spanish translations of the course curricula, please let
