Retrospective Assessment of Military Occupations & Neurodegenerative Disease
The specific aims of this project are: (1) to develop exposure assessment methodology for collecting objective information about military occupations and exposures, and (2) to apply the newly developed methodology to determine whether military service is associated with ALS and PD in three completed population-based case-control studies conducted in Northern California and Western Washington State.

NCI Male Breast Cancer Pooling Project
The specific aims of this study are to: 1) identify case-control studies and cohort investigations (at least 20 incident cases) that can contribute data for pooled analyses; 2) conduct pooled analyses; and 3) conduct assays on genetic, hormonal and nutritional markers with studies taht have these materials available.
