Those looking for a cost-effective way to spruce up their yards this spring can stop by the National Cancer Institute at Frederick Green Team’s booth during the Spring Research Festival on May 7 and 8. Pick up a free plant, donate overgrown plants from your yard, or swap for a new plant. Everyone is invited to participate in the swap, whether you have plants to donate or not.

Each year, the Employee Diversity Team (EDT) acknowledges members of the NCI at Frederick Community for their achievements and contributions towards the mission of facility.  Historically, the team has profiled the “Women of NCI at Frederick,” but this year, the team decided to instead shed light on the diverse and successful individuals who make up the international fellows community.

The 18th annual Spring Research Festival will take place May 5–8 at the NCI Campus at Frederick and Fort Detrick. This is the second year that the event is sponsored by the National Interagency Confederation for Biological Research (NICBR), an interagency committee made up of various research entities located within Fort Detrick.

Fifty-one people joined the facility in November and December 2013.

If you need to have a breakfast or lunch event/meeting catered, look no further than the Discovery Café in Building 549. You can now place catering orders online for groups of five or more. The café will provide catering services for events or meetings held onsite, as well as those held at the Advanced Technology Research Facility. Orders are delivered to the site of the event or meeting.
