The Office of Intellectual Property and the Office of Information Technology announce the Second Annual UCLA "Code for the Mission" App Competition. The goal of the competition is to encourage the UCLA community (Faculty, Staff and Students) to develop mobile apps (both native and web-based) that further UCLA's mission of Research, Education and Service. Each year we will have three contest categories that will match our three tiered mission. Registration deadline is May 29.

UCLA CTSI K Workshop 

The UCLA Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) will be holding an all-day workshop for junior investigators who have applied, are applying, or thinking about applying for a NIH K/Career Development Award. The UCLA CTSI Research, Education, Training, and Career Development Program is offering this special opportunity to junior faculty at CTSI partnered institutions (Cedars-Sinai, CDU, LA Biomed Harbor-UCLA, and UCLA) to learn how to prepare successful K applications. Register here. Workshop takes place July 9.

Could you transform your research with vast amounts of computing? Come spend a week at the beautiful University of Wisconsin-Madison and learn how!

During the school, 27-31 July, you will learn to use high-throughput computing (HTC) systems - at your own campus or using the national Open Science Grid (OSG) - to run large-scale computing applications that are at the heart of today's cutting-edge science. Through lectures, discussions, and lots of hands-on activities with experienced OSG staff, you will learn how HTC systems work, how to run and manage lots of jobs and huge datasets to implement a scientific computing workflow, and where to turn for more information and help. Register by May 1.
