Rutgers, Columbia and NYU to Lead Research Aimed at Pushing Limits of Wireless Networking
T
he National Science Foundation (NSF) and an industry consortium are investing $100 million in the next seven years to build a set of wireless networks for U.S. researchers to test new ways of boosting Internet speeds to support data-intensive applications in robotics, immersive virtual reality, and traffic safety. New York and Salt Lake City are the first cities to receive funding under the NSF Platforms for Advanced Wireless Research (PAWR) initiative, with New York set to receive $22.5 million.
Led by researchers at Rutgers, Columbia and NYU, and in partnership with New York City, Silicon Harlem, City College of New York and University of Arizona, the platform in New York, called COSMOS, will be a proving ground for a new generation of wireless technologies and applications. Read more

Further Delays Proposed to Revisions to Federal Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects, "Common Rule"
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and
16 other federal departments and agencies announced a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) proposing to delay for an additional six months the general compliance date for the revisions to
the Federal Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects, also known as the "Common Rule."
This NPRM is intended to provide regulated entities additional time for the preparations necessary to implement the 2018 Requirements. If finalized, the NPRM would generally require regulated entities to continue to comply with the requirements of the current Common Rule until January 21, 2019.
