I am proud to announce the newest members of the NHLBI Advisory Council. Dr. Jonathan R. Alger, Coletta Barrett, Dr. Ivor Benjamin, Dr. Naomi Luban, Dr. Polly Parsons, and Dr. Gilbert White will join the 12 existing council members for the first time during next week’s council session. Their terms will run through Oct. 31, 2014.

These include reviewing applications for grants and cooperative agreements; making recommendations on grant proposals, acquisition and maintenance of NHLBI facilities; and preparing comments and recommendations for the Biennial Report.
