Notice of Meeting; NIAID Town Hall Meeting on the New National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Leadership Group for a Clinical Research Network on Infectious Diseases Other than HIV

Notice is hereby given that the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), will convene a public information session (Town Hall meeting) on March 7, 2011 at the Bethesda Marriott in Bethesda, MD to discuss plans to establish a new NIAID Leadership Group for a Clinical Research Network on Infectious Diseases other than HIV.
