In addition, specific sub-studies of non-cancer endpoints, using the resource of the combined cohort, shall be designed and conducted. The recommendations of the 1992 NIH workshop on DES shall be relied upon to form priorities for specific studies. A """"""""Steering Committee"""""""" shall be formed to guide and coordinate future research efforts in the DES-exposed and comparison cohorts.
