NAEC Member Joins NIH Council of Councils
The Council will advise on grant proposals for novel research that either cuts across or falls between the missions of ICs. Trans-Institute research will be paid for through the “Common Fund,” money set aside from the annual NIH appropriation to support these priority projects. NIH hosted the first planning meeting of the Council on November 8, 2007.
Dr. Johnson is a neuro-ophthalmologist at the University of Missouri Mason Eye Institute. He is involved in several research projects on disorders affecting the visual pathway and visual processing, including optic neuropathy, optic neuritis, multiple sclerosis and pseudotumor cerebri. Dr. Johnson has been a member of the NAEC since December 2004.
