This innovative program is a collaboration involving CWRU, Cleveland Clinic, UH and MetroHealth. Each CR Scholar will embark on a 4-year program of intensive training in interdisciplinary team-based, patient-oriented research, combining a novel educational program with mentored research experiences. Interested applicants are encouraged to attend upcoming informational sessions. To make a reservation, please contact contact Beth Spyke, MPA at spykeb@ccf.org or 216-444-2702. Applications will be accepted through October 10. MARK YOUR CALENDARSMinority Recruitment and Cancer Research RetreatMark your calendars for the Minority Recruitment and Cancer Research Retreat, August 30 from 3-6 pm in the Wolstein Research Building Auditorium. Please join us as we explore in a retreat setting (plenary and break-out sessions) issues related to minority recruitment to cancer clinical trials. Registration is required due to a limited space. Imaging Solutions In Cancer Management: A Case-Based ConferenceRegistration is now open for Imaging Solutions In Cancer Management: A Case-Based Conference. Join us September 8 for this comprehensive oncologic imaging course, which focuses on cancer management using imaging as a diagnostic tool and as a guide for minimally invasive therapeutic applications. This course takes a practical approach using cases and features multiple specialists ranging from medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, surgeons, radiologists and basic scientists. This conference will be simultaneously broadcast on line. See the brochure for details. FUNDING OPPORTUNITIESPew Scholars Program in the Biomedical SciencesThe Pew Scholars Program in the Biomedical Sciences provides funding to young investigators of outstanding promise in science relevant to the advancement of human health. The program makes grants to selected academic institutions to support the independent research of outstanding individuals who are in their first few years of their appointment at the assistant professor level. Only ONE application per institution. Internal Deadline: August 22 PhRMA FoundationPhRMA Foundation is now accepting applications for the following opportunities: Pharmacology/toxicology awards support career-development activities of scientists prepared to engage in research that integrates information on molecular or cellular mechanisms of action with information on the effects of an agent observed in an intact organism, either in experimental animal or clinical studies or both.
• Pre Doctoral Fellowship The goal of the Informatics Program is to promote the use and development of informatics in an integrative approach towards the understanding of human biological and disease processes. Informatics awards will support career development of scientists engaged in research that significantly integrates cutting-edge information technology with advanced biological, chemical, and pharmacological sciences.
• Pre Doctoral Fellowship Pharmaceutics is that area of biomedical and pharmaceutical sciences that deals with drug delivery systems, in particular the design and evaluation of contemporary pharmaceutical dosage forms so that they are safe, effective, and reliable. It is a multidisciplinary area, with significant underpinnings from such basic scientific disciplines as physical chemistry, physical organic chemistry, and biophysics.
• Pre Doctoral Fellowship Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health & Society ScholarsThe Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health & Society Scholars program provides two years of support to postdoctoral scholars at all stages of their careers to build the nation's capacity for research and leadership to address the multiple determinants of population health and contribute to policy change. The program is based on the principle that progress in the field of population health depends upon multidisciplinary collaboration and exchange. Deadline: September 30 |
