DBP 2 Overview

The NA-MIC Driving Biological Problems (DBP) Core 3.2 identifies key biological problems to drive NA-MIC projects from 2007 to 2010. From the beginning of the NCBC project, NIH planned for a three year cycle for the DBPs. In accordance with this policy, in 2007 the DBPs were shifted from schizophrenia to lupus, autism, velocardiofacial syndrome (VCSF), and prostate cancer. The process of selecting these DBPs is detailed here.
