Training (3NKB)
- Facility Compliance: Susan Silk at the NIH presented the following idea to Jim Angus prior to the sessions. She indicated that part of her responsibilities include training grant and other award recipients on mandated requirements for facilities. She proposes creating a virtual facility where trainees can evaluate compliance. That is, they can explore this virtual environment and note areas where the facility fails to meet the guidelines. Interactions with virtual facility managers could also take place. (3NKC)
