Thought someone here might have ideas and perspectives on this project. There is a lot to be said for a Canadian perspective on this. ---------------------- Forwarded by Joanne Roulston on 03/06/97 16:57 --------------------------- LLINE @ PEWTRUSTS.COM ("Laura M.

I am in the process of identifying potential candidates to complete a small team and am currently looking for a consultant who: * has a strong understanding of biomedical research, * is grounded in one or more Latin American cultures, particularly as it pertains to the biomedical research community. [This person might be currently living in or from Latin America, or has spent an extended amount of time in one or more of these cultures, * speaks Spanish and English fluently. [Portuguese language skills would also be helpful]. Although not definitive at this point, I expect the project will require ten - twelve work days over the next six to eight months for this consultant, with some international travel. I realize this may be like asking for the moon and stars, but if you are interested or know of a qualified evaluator, please contact [log in to unmask] Unfortunately the time line is short, so please reply by June 13, 1997. Thanks. For additional information about our institution, please visit our website at www.pewtrusts.com.
