The spring 2007 issue of Faculty Vitae, the AAMC's Web-based publication on faculty development and leadership, details the Native Investigator Development Program, a collaborative effort between the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center and the University of Washington School of Medicine designed to cultivate externally funded scientists who focus on health disparities and aging issues in American Indian and Alaska Native populations. The spring issue also features articles on community-based research and grant writing. For more information, please visit  http://www.aamc.org/facultyvitae.
