The next step in the process of integrating and reorganizing the review of neuroscience applications submitted to NIH will be the meeting of five working groups on March 24-25, 1997. These working groups will recommend scientific guidelines for defining DRG neuroscience study sections and the appropriate scientific expertise for the membership of each of these study sections. A list of the names of the members of the working groups is provided below.
