The role of the National Center for Research Resources at the National Institutes of Health: infrastructure to forge a new road for lymphatic biology and therapeutics.

Lymphatic research has infrastructure needs ranging from the nursing support provided by General Clinical Research Centers to training grants for future clinician investigators. Both have high priority in the activities currently funded by the Division of Clinical Research at NCRR. Further into the future, the therapeutic development networks and embryonic stem cells resources that are currently being developed should seem equally to have been essential resources.
