<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#212121">After discussing within our ISL leadership and Joint Advisory Board, I’d like to propose the idea of creating three Working Groups that focus on three strategic areas of emphasis of our institute:
<b>Advanced Technology Working Group</b>, <b>Clinical Research Working Group</b>, and
<b>Basic Science Working Group</b>. These are three areas that we would like to develop for ISL to advance aging research at FSU and take the lead for the future aging-related center grants. We will appoint a chair for each Working Group to coordinate activities
within the group and serve as a liaison between the Working Groups with the ISL leadership team.</span><span style="color:#212121"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
