The ISPE Board of Directors recently approved the formation of an ad hoc task force to develop guidelines for submitting adverse drug event (ADE) reports to professional journals. The task force will hold its initial face-to-face session at the 2004 ISPE Annual Meeting in Bordeaux (7:15-8:15 AM, Tuesday, August 24), but will accomplish some initial work via e-mail or conference calling. You need not attend the annual meeting or be an ISPE member to participate on the task force.

If you would like to be a member of this task force, please contact the chair, William N. Kelly at: kelly_wn@mercer.edu or (678)547-6201.

Additionally, if you can not or do not wish to be a member of this task force, but know someone who might be interested in this initiative, please forward their name to the e-mail address above. Remember, they do not need to be a member of ISPE to participate.
