COPR 2009 Nomination Process Is Now Open

Dear Colleague:

The Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is seeking nominations to fill vacant appointments to the 2009 Council of Public Representatives (COPR) roster. Nominations are due Friday, September 26, 2008, and are available online at http://copr.nih.gov/nomination.asp.

New members will be notified of their conditional appointments in time for the April 2009 COPR meeting. All nominees will be notified regarding the final appointees in the summer of 2009.

NIH will host a teleconference to present information on NIH and the COPR from the perspectives of the staff and current Council members on Wednesday, August 27, 2008, from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. EST. The call will be free of charge. To register for the teleconference, send an e-mail with your name, affiliation, e-mail, and telephone number to COPR1@palladianpartners.com or call the COPR Resource Staff at (301) 650-8660, ext. 269, by Friday, August 15. You must register to participate in this teleconference. Upon registration, you will receive a confirmation e-mail with information on how to participate in the teleconference.

Background

The COPR advises the NIH Director on cross-cutting issues related to medical research and health issues of public interest that ultimately promote individual, family, and community health. Examples of broad issues explored by the Council include community engagement in research, public trust in the research enterprise, enhancing public awareness and education about NIH, clinical trials recruitment issues, and aspects of the NIH Roadmap for Medical Research, such as reengineering the clinical research enterprise.

The COPR consists of up to 21 individuals who are selected from among the diverse communities that benefit from, and have an interest in, NIH research, programs, and activities. Members typically serve on the COPR for four years. To be considered for the COPR, nominees must have some interest in the work of NIH and must be in a position to communicate regularly with the broader public about COPR and NIH activities. Nominees must also be willing to fully participate in biannual COPR meetings, regular conference calls, and work group activities throughout the year.

To request a nomination form by mail, contact the COPR Resource Staff by phone at (301) 650-8660, ext. 269, by fax at (301) 650-7172, or by e-mail at COPR1@palladianpartners.com.
