The NIH Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) is pleased to announce the formation of a new listserv, providing a convenient way to receive news from the ODS through e-mail. The listserv is free and is available to all interested constituencies including consumers and health professionals, as well as individuals from industry, government, academia and media.
Although there is no established frequency, e-mail messages will be sent from the ODS to listserv subscribers approximately once per month. Messages will announce updates to the ODS website and provide other news from the ODS. Included will be information about the availability of new fact sheets on dietary supplements, updates to the IBIDS database of dietary supplements research, information about upcoming workshops and conferences, announcements of requests for grant applications, and summaries, proceedings or bibliographies from previously held workshops and conferences.
To subscribe to the listserv, send an e-mail to
listserv@list.nih.gov. Leave the subject link blank and write the following in the message body:
Subscribe NIH-ODS-L your name
where your name is your first name followed by your last name.
Shortly after you send the e-mail, you will receive a confirmation by e-mail welcoming you to the ODS listserv. To confirm your subscription, you will have to respond to the e-mail.

Names and e-mail addresses of listserv subscribers will not be available to other listserv subscribers, nor will listserv subscribers be able to send messages to the listserv. Only the ODS will be authorized to send e-mail messages through the listserv. Subscribers will have the option at anytime to unsubscribe to the listserv, and discontinue receiving future messages.
