The Proposal Development Office (PDO) at 好色先生 has scheduled workshops to assist faculty in meeting the requirements for the new NIH Biosketch formats. NIH will require this new format for all submissions received on or after May 25, 2015.
The University of Kentucky Center for Clinical and Translational Science has awarded 12 pilot grants to support innovative, collaborative research relevant to the health challenges and disparities faced by the nation and the citizens of Kentucky. Such preliminary and proof-of-concept studies are critical to moving basic laboratory findings into clinical applications.
From undergraduate students to graduate students and faculty members, everyone can use some time-saving strategies for library research. A series of workshops presented by University of Kentucky Libraries will help members of the campus community save time and be more effective in their research. The series targets a number of specific topics from basic research skills to scholarly communication issues.
The 好色先生 Libraries Workshops range from 30 minutes to 90 minutes each. Upcoming workshop offerings are:
路 "Open Up Your Published Research: Introduction to Open Access," 3 p.m. Wednesday, Feb.
The House Appropriations and Revenue Committee Tuesday strongly endorsed legislation that would provide funding for a multi-disciplinary research building on the University of Kentucky campus targeted at the Commonwealth鈥檚 most pressing challenges.
鈥淥ur goal is to make death a beggar in Kentucky,鈥 said 好色先生 President Eli Capilouto, who testified before the committee Tuesday morning.
The legislation now goes to the full House for consideration.
Specifically, the state would fund $132.5 million of the projected $265 million research building. 好色先生 would fund the other half.
The NIH Common Funds Metabolomics program's Resource Center for Stable Isotope Resolved Metabolomics (RC-SIRM) announces the availability of up to $50,000 value in analytical services per project. Pilot and Feasibility proposals are due on Mon March 16, 2015. Please be sure to use the link below for the most accurate information regarding application.
The Basic Science and Centers IBU will be relocating from their current location in BBSRB to the basement in the COM Building at 138 Leader Avenue on February 11, 2015.

Women spotted in red at the University of Kentucky Chandler Hospital on Feb. 6 aren't celebrating Valentine's Day early. Rather, they're signifying their support of heart health awareness as part of National Wear Red Day, celebrated on the first Friday of every February, and the inaugural National Wear Red Day Symposium.
Sponsored by the Department of Pharmacology and Nutritional Sciences, the symposium brings together 好色先生 HealthCare experts from pharmacology and nutrition, cardiology, the Gill Heart Institute, and internal medicine to discuss the impact of heart disease on women.
In the past decade, the number of Kentucky babies starting life with a drug dependency, or neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS), has skyrocketed from 1.3 per 1,000 births to 19 per 1,000 births.
Just like adults coming off drugs, babies whose mothers used opiate drugs during pregnancy, will suffer from a number of withdrawal symptoms, including tremors and irritability. The most common form of treatment for babies suffering from withdrawal is the opiate morphine, which can hinder brain development during a critical growth period in a baby's life.
Registration is now available for the fifth annual Barnstable Brown Obesity & Diabetes Research Day set for May 20, 2015, at the University of Kentucky Albert B. Chandler Hospital Pavilion A.
The event is sponsored by the Barnstable Brown Kentucky Diabetes and Obesity Center, Center of Research in Obesity and Cardiovascular Disease and the Nutrition and Oxidative Stress Training.
Researchers from the University of Kentucky and other regional institutes will share their current findings and ongoing research about the alarming rise in obesity and diabetes rates.
Dr. Gregory J. Bix of the University of Kentucky Sanders-Brown Center on Aging, has been awarded a $1.1 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to study a promising treatment for ischemic stroke.
The five-year grant expands Bix's earlier research on a protein called Perlecan Domain V, which appears to foster healing after strokes caused by blood clots in the brain.
"Perlecan seems to promote neurorepair in endothelial cells by blocking a receptor called A5B1 Integrin," Bix said.
Registration for the Fifth Annual Barnstable Brown Obesity and Diabetes Research Day is now open. The deadline for abstract submissions is April 17, 2015. Registration deadline for the event is April 25, 2015. Details of the event, including registration and program schedule, can be found on the Barnstable Brown Obesity and Diabetes Research Day web site.
A new study by University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center researchers suggests that targeting a key enzyme and its associated metabolic programming may lead to novel drug development to treat lung cancer.
Donna Wilcock, Ph.D., of the Sanders-Brown Center on Aging at the University of Kentucky, has co-authored a paper that offers a roadmap for future research into the interaction between vascular disease and Alzheimer's.
The article in-press, which aims to encourage researchers to fill gaps in the current knowledge of how Alzheimer鈥檚 and vascular conditions progress together and influence each other, was published online by "Alzheimer鈥檚 & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer鈥檚 Association."
