Please consider dropping into another Affinity Group’s meeting to hear what your colleagues are up to in their labs. The details on when each group meets, along with a point of contact for the meetings, can be found in the monthly OSD News Bulletin.
The NIH Fellows Editorial Board Offers Free Editing Services
The NIH Fellows Editorial Board (FEB) offers all NIH and FDA fellows a free, fast, and confidential scientific document-editing service. This all-volunteer Board composed of NIH fellows edits various documents, including manuscripts, book chapters, and grant proposals for grammar, form, and clarity. The editors also review essential elements pertinent to the document, such as figures and figure legends (editors do not comment on scientific merit!). Authors generally receive written feedback in 10 to 12 business days.
For more information and submission requirements please visit the FEB website at: https://ccr.cancer.gov/trainee-resources-editorial-board.
