Generating Interest

Following the announcement of the first RFP, the committee designed a two-page flyer to advertise the availability of the AFHS assets. The flyer was intended to increase awareness of the availability of the AFHS assets for researchers, particularly in fields outside herbicide exposure and toxicology. Both committee members and the IOM staff brought copies of the flyer to national meetings including the American Public Health Association, the American Geriatric Society, the American Society of Clinical Oncologists, and the American Association for Cancer Research. Project staff made presentations about the AFHS research program at national meetings to encourage use in new research directions. The committee announced the availability of the data and biospecimens for use in research on several listservs, including the VA listserv of all chiefs of staff for research, listservs targeting aging and geriatrics research, and announcements to the toxicology-research community, all of which resulted in increased interest as demonstrated by many new queries and submitted letters of intent. An invited paper summarizing the accomplishments of the AFHS Assets Research Program is under review by Military Medicine.
