Tips on using the Federal Register to look for #NIH #studysection notices:
1. The most effective way is to search by SRO
2. One notice can list several study sections
3. Do not trust the brief snippet that appears at the bottom - click to review the entire notice (see #2 above)

Great to see the 12th edition of @elsevierconnect.bsky.social
Firestein & Kelley's Textbook of Rheumatology! It was wonderful to have contributed again to updated evidence-based guidance for management of knee osteoarthritis.
