Meet the FCCCERs

According to a summary in the New England Journal of Medicine, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act includes a new Federal Coordinating Council for Comparative Effectiveness Research (FCCCER). Thank goodness they passed on the alternative name: Federal Oversight Council for Comparative Effectiveness Research.

It's a great idea, way overdue, but can we come up with a better acronym? How about the Pan-American National Association for Comparative Effectiveness Analysis (PANACEA)?
