The Health Behavior and Outreach Core (HBOC), directed by Donna B. Jeffe, PhD, is one of 14 Siteman Cancer Center shared resources. The Core addresses a range of needs pertinent to both clinical and prevention and control research at the Siteman Cancer Center.

TO ACCESS: E-mail djeffe@dom.wustl.edu.

As of April 7, 2008, the NIH requires investigators with a publication using Siteman (or other NIH-funded) shared resources to submit (or have submitted for them) their final, peer reviewed manuscripts to PubMed Central(PMC) upon acceptance of publication, to be made publicly available within 12 months of publication. Many journals automatically submit these for authors, but Washington University also has assistance available through the Becker Medical Library. Please see http://publicaccess.nih.gov/FAQ.htm#b7 or http://becker.wustl.edu/services/scholarly/nihpolicy.html for more information.
