Nelson Hall – National Center for Preservation Technology and Training
The National Park Service, within the Department of the Interior has announced funding in the amount of $448,111 to support the National Center for Preservation Technology and Training.
NCPTT was founded in 1994 on the campus of Northwestern State University of Louisiana in Natchitoches, Louisiana.
The genesis of NCPTT began in September 1986 when the US Congress Office of Technology Assessment published Technologies for Prehistoric & Historic Preservation. The assessment cited the critical need to establish a federally funded institution as a mechanism to coordinate research, disseminate information, and provide training about new technologies for preservation.
One of the strategies for implementing the OTA report findings was the recommendation to establish a Federal Center for Preservation Technology within the Department of the Interior.

Genomic Advances to Wound Repair
The National Institutes of Health has coordinated with the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) to establish a program called Genomic Advances to Wound Repair in an effort to jump-start research studies that have the potential to deepen the understanding of genomic mechanism associated with the repair and development of wounds that are chronic in nature, which implies that these wounds have failed to enter into a reparative process after three months.
