Dear Ms. White,

You have asked me to inquire about NIH scientists serving as peer reviewers for the Philip Morris External Research Program.

As you correctly note, the 2000 Request for Application brochure for the program lists 2 NIH scientists as peer reviewers. These individuals are being asked to step down.

Thank you for your inquiry.

Michele Bloch
