Research Updates Gets a New Look, Will Appear More Often

Longtime readers may notice some changes both in the look and content of this issue of Research Updates. We have redesigned the publication, putting fresh news from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, or NIDDK, in a new package.

Readers will also be seeing the publication more often. Traditionally published twice a year, we now plan to produce the newsletter quarterly. In addition, we are now publishing two different editions of the newsletter—a kidney version and one focused on urologic diseases.

The front page format has been redesigned to highlight each issue’s main topic. The upper, left corner of each page highlights the featured topic.

Research Updates will continue its focus on bringing the latest in NIDDK news and updates from the National Kidney and Urologic Diseases Information Clearinghouse, and we will also be searching for stories about the most interesting people and projects at NIDDK.

Our effort to produce the highest quality, most interesting publication requires the help of our readers. If you know of stories Research Updates should be chasing or profiles that it should be running, please contact newsletter writer Brian Reid at 703–902–1302.
