Bringing cancer science to the bedside

Article Abstract:

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) committed $100 million to help build infrastructure for 12 translational (bench-to-bedside) research centers around the country where scientists and medical doctors would be able to train quickly on clinical research and regulatory requirements to fill shortage of well-trained researchers. NIH plans to have 60 translational research centers operational by 2012 which would act as consortium, enabling others to share and adopt the best ideas and methods.
