 related costs, and monitoring of all correspondence
 2. Facilitate external communications to other agencies related to the Consortium. Core A will:
 a. Establish and maintain an External Advisory Panel (EAP)

 EAP in advance of meetings; gather feedback from EAP; disseminate feedback to project
 leaders and core directors
 c. Coordinate with NCI and the other U54 HAMRCs to organize the annual meeting of all
 consortia; coordinate participation in teleconference meetings with the other U54 HAMRCs,
 provide detailed progress reports in advance of these meetings; gather feedback from other
