UCLA CEILS fosters the professional development and training of faculty who wish to incorporate evidence-based teaching approaches into their courses.

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.

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.

UC President Janet Napolitano and UC Research Initiatives are pleased to issue a Request for Proposals for the 2016 President's Research Catalyst Awards. This president's initiative aims to advance innovative research in areas of strategic importance to UC that has the potential to benefit California, the nation and the world, and to stimulate public support for UC research. Awards are made on a competitive basis for highly meritorious research that fulfills programmatic goals in the link above. LOIs are due June 4. 

UCLA OIP-ISR wants to help you license research tools you've created to assist in conducting your research. This usually results in money going right back to your lab! See the flyer for more information.

Open Science Grid User School 2015 

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. 

 

Precision Medicine Public Workshops - NIH 

The above is a list of events held by the NIH to gather input from participant, scientific, and other stakeholder groups as it plans the development of the President's Precision Medicine Initiative and the vision for building the national participant group.
