This document provides only the budgets, C.V.s, Section One documents, and information which references the CALGB scientific research plan and protocol reviews. The Progress Report for the last grant period, the protocols and research plans for the five year period are 1988-1993 in a separately submitted document entitled """"""""Scientific and Administrative Progress Report and Research Plan."""""""" In addition to this Chairman's Grant Application and the separate Report noted above, CALGB is submitting separate applications for concurrent review, under different principal investigators, a grant to support the Statistical Center, research by the Immunology/Genetics Committee, the Pathology Committee, and the Chemotherapy Committee.
