    Notice is hereby given that the Forum on Cooperative Research and 
Development Agreements: Perspectives, Outlook, and Policy Development, 
convened as an ad hoc group of consultants to the Advisory Committee to 
the Director, NIH, will meet in public session on July 21, 1994, from 
8:30 am to 8:00 p.m., at the Bethesda Holiday Inn, Bethesda, Maryland.
    The purpose of the Forum is to provide recommendations that will be 
used in NIH's development of policy on the negotiation, execution, and 
implementation of Cooperative Research and Development Agreements

Panel members will discuss several issues relating to CRADAs including 
the scope of the research plan, fair access to collaborative research 
opportunities, and the ``reasonable pricing'' clause. Case studies will 
be presented to illustrate these and other issues of importance to 
CRADAs. At the conclusion of the Forum, the Panel will develop and 
transmit its report to the Advisory Committee to the Director, NIH, for 
review.
