- What areas represent current scientific synergy?
- Is there interest in having ongoing interactions among group members, and if so what would they be?
- Are there new areas of research opportunity?
- What opportunities might there be for translational/patient oriented research?
- How can core effort best be aligned with research priorities?
- Are there new technologies that we need that will strengthen science in the Center?
- Are there other campus or regional partnerships that we need to develop?
