NCI Releases New CD-ROM With Planning Documents
Planning for Progress at the National Cancer Institute is a new CD-ROM that includes the Nation's Investment in Cancer Research http://plan.cancer.gov (NCI's "Bypass budget") and results of NCI's Progress Review Groups http://prg.nci.nih.gov/index.html (PRGs).

The PRGs are panels of 20 to 30 prominent members of the scientific, medical, and advocacy communities that assess the state of the science for a single type of cancer or group of closely related cancers and make recommendations for future research.

The CD-ROM documents are in PDF format. To order, call the Cancer Information Center at 1-800-4-CANCER or visit https://cissecure.nci.nih.gov/ncipubs/details.asp?pid=1082
