| |  | | By and large, concussions comprise one of the heaviest-hitting issues for athletes. While over 300,000 sports-related concussions occur every year, research on the topic has progressed slowly. With initial symptoms dissipating as time goes on, doctors and on-field medics need better tools to diagnose the problem and track its effects.
Concussions are a result of trauma to the brain, when an outside force causes the brain to quickly move back and ... | | | | Read More | | |

| | | | The NIH Director's New Innovator Award addresses two important goals: stimulating highly innovative research and supporting promising new investigators. New investigators may have exceptionally innovative research ideas, but not the preliminary data required to fare well in the traditional NIH peer review system. | | | | Read More | | |
| |
| | | | Proposed work must be hypothesis generating or hypothesis testing, reflecting innovative approaches to important questions in LAM research or development of novel methods, and providing sufficient preliminary data to justify support. | | | | Read More | | |
| |
| | | | The purposes of this FOA are to develop new, reliable, valid, and usable CDS from evidence-based research findings and then demonstrate its effectiveness to improve care in clinical practice. | | | | Read More | | |
| |
| | | | The goal of the award is to provide support for collaborative investigative teams or individual scientists who propose unusually innovative research projects, which, if successful, would have a major impact in a broad area of biomedical or behavioral research. To be considered transformative, projects must have the potential to create or overturn fundamental scientific paradigms through the use of novel approaches, to transform the way research is conducted through the development of novel tools or technologies, or to lead to major improvements in health through the development of highly innovative therapies, diagnostic tools, or preventive strategies. | | | | Read More | | |
| |
| | | | The program supports exceptional investigators who wish to pursue independent research directly after completion of their terminal doctoral/research degree or clinical residency, thereby forgoing the traditional post-doctoral training period and accelerating their entry into an independent research career. | | | | Read More | | |
| |
| | | | The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) requests applications for for rheumatic diseases research areas within its mission. The Resource-based Centers will provide critical research infrastructure, shared facilities, services, and/or resources to groups of investigators conducting research on rheumatic diseases, enabling them to conduct their independently-funded individual and/or collaborative research projects more efficiently and/or more effectively, with the broad overall goal of accelerating, enriching, and enhancing the effectiveness of ongoing basic, translational, and clinical research and promoting new research. | | | | Read More | | |
| |
| | | | These studies may involve considerable risk but may lead to a breakthrough in a particular area, or to the development of novel techniques, agents, methodologies, models, or applications that could have a major impact on a field of biomedical, behavioral, or clinical research. | | | | Read More | | |
| |
| | | | The goals of this rigorous course are to provide veterinary pathology residents and pathologists with information needed to understand basic ultrastructural techniques and to identify tissues, interpret changes in tissue, and identify organisms at the ultrastructural level. Although designed for veterinary pathologists and pathology residents, this course also is appropriate for graduate students and researchers in other disciplines wishing to incorporate electron microscopy into their research. | | | | Read More | | |

| | | | | CPTR is a multidisciplinary, innovative program that provides pre-doctoral or postdoctoral trainees with the expertise and experience to translate fundamental biomedical scientific discoveries into treatments that will benefit human health. Sixteen credits of didactic training focused on translational research in Emory’s Laney Graduate School of Emory University are required to complete the certificate program. Emory faculty and postdocs may ... | | | | Read More | | |

| | | | This two-part series will address the following K Award categories: K01, K07, K08, K22, K23, K25, K99/00 as well as VA CDA and other career development awards. The classes will include didactic presentation, discussion, and Q&A. Time permitting, Dr. Janet Gross will provide an individual read and review of proposals. | | | | Read More | | |
| |
| | | | The training will utilize a combination of a 3-month online course (six webinar sessions with related assignments) between mid-August and mid-November, and a 2-day in-person training to be held November 30 and December 1, 2017, in North Bethesda, MD. The training is open to researchers with interests in studying D&I across health care, public health, and community settings. | | | | Read More | | |
| |
| | | | The awards are designed to encourage early and mid-career investigators to continue vital research into the cause, prevention, and treatment of rheumatic diseases. The purpose of this award is to encourage junior investigators to expand promising research by providing additional support to cover research costs and help investigators become independent. | | | | Read More | | |

| | | | To improve human health, scientific discoveries must be translated into practical applications. Such discoveries typically begin at "the bench" with basic research, in which scientists study disease at a molecular or cellular level and then progress to the clinical level, or the patient's bedside. The conference will include state-of-the-art topics in clinical and translational science as well as opportunities for attendees to showcase their research and network with peers to develop regional collaborations. The two keynote speakers are Steve Stice (UGA) and David Hess (MCG). They will present some of their current research and highlight private company partnerships that they have developed/used to fund their research. All participants are encouraged to submit abstracts of papers for presentation. Excellence in clinical and translational science will be recognized during the meeting through abstract awards. | | | | Questions? | | |
