6. 6 DHPB development process CSR OD and DDs developed a draft plan. PRAC subcommittee invited to teleconference on 11/6 Email to IC Directors and affected Chiefs asking for comment. Meeting with affected Chiefs and SROs. Plan then sent to CSR All. Comments due from all ICs, Chiefs, SROs, etc. 11/28; comments incorporated into final plan to present to PRAC. Presentation to PRAC on 12/3. Guidelines for split IRG posted. IRG Chief recruitment. Begin third phase of realignment before 4/7/08 PRAC meeting.

12. 12 Issues Discussed at the PRAC Working Group Fit of the AIDS and Related Research IRG Proposed transfer of the Biomedical Computing and Health Informatics (BCHI) study section Issues concerning the composition of individual study sections were noted but will not be addressed by this process

13. 13 Comments from ICs and CSR staff Comments were overall supportive of the proposed division NCI sought a broader distribution of professional disciplines in the areas of rehabilitation. Guidelines for BCHI will be realigned and some material will remain in the Surgical Sciences, Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering IRG.
