IMPORTANT: Finding our POIS ResearcherAs you all know, the NORD award to a POIS research team (up to $31,000 that POISCenter Members donated) has been sluggishly delayed.
Looking back at our historical success in finding someone to research POIS, I believe that our last research project was influenced by our *early* (pre-award) discussions with Dr K.
I think we all played a role in Dr K’s decision to take us on. He was responding to NORD because he *already* knew us and POIS matched his research goals.
So...I think that a PERSONAL MEMBER effort between POISCenter & researchers is invaluable, perhaps even indispensable in our early careers here to annihilate the still misunderstood POIS.
In conclusion, NORD says “
it would be wonderful to have [POISCenter] forum members share the RFP information with their doctors and other relevant contacts.”

Therefore...*please* send this link below to a doctor you trust and/or to a researcher you can contact who you think would be a good candidate to study POIS:RFP: (NORD’s Request for Proposal)
