22. Expansion SOPs Sent to 5 possibly interested companies Proposal by Adam Schwarts Bioclinica also interested to fund cooperatively Will promote to next PPSB meeting (next week) Discussed with Maria Carrillo, she said that the AA may offer a neutral forum through which this could be funded/contracted.
