Tulane Cancer Center Researchers Launch Science Communication Graduate Fellows Program

Tulane Cancer Center Members Janan Jayawickramarajah, PhD, associate dean for research, faculty affairs and PhD programs in the Tulane School of Science and Engineering, and Heather Machado, PhD, associate professor of biochemistry and molecular biology and assistant dean for the biomedical sciences graduate program at the Tulane School of Medicine, will oversee the new Science Policy and Communication Graduate Fellows Program, launching at Tulane this Fall.


An initiative of the Murphy Institute’s Center for Public Policy Research, the graduate-level program is specifically for PhD students entering their second or third year of study, with a goal of giving them the tools they need to be effective scientific communicators and meaningfully engage with policymakers and others who need to know science in order to make better-informed public policy decisions.


Students will also be required to spend two semesters on a project related to community outreach, science policy engagement or science and the economy. The fellowship will culminate with a one-day symposium, where students will present their work to academicians, national leaders and policy makers.

Three Tulane Cancer Center Researchers Receive Ladies Leukemia League Grants

All three of this year's Ladies Leukemia League (LLL) research grant recipients are Tulane Cancer Center Members!


Congratulations to Wu-Min Deng, PhD; Zhen Lin, MD, PhD; and Nakhle Saba, MD, who were recently awarded $35,000 LLL grants to help support their leukemia and lymphoma research projects.

 

Founded in 1969, LLL is a volunteer organization of 225 women dedicated to raising funds for leukemia and lymphoma research in Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. Since their founding, they have raised over $4.5 million, which they have distributed as "seed" money to research scientists working in leukemia and lymphoma research or related fields.

 

The LLL issues a call for grant applications each fall and then utilizes a panel of medical advisors to evaluate proposals and make recommendations for funding. They cap awards at $35,000 per investigator in order to provide support for as many worthy projects as possible.

 

Drs. Deng, Lin and Saba were recognized and awarded with the first half of their grants at the organization's recent grant recipient luncheon. The balance of their awards will be distributed at the halfway point in the grant period, during the organization's annual Fête de Noël fundraiser, scheduled for Monday, December 2, 2024.

Limited Competition Opportunity - High Impact Specialized Innovation Programs in Clinical and Translational Science


Tulane University is a member institution in the Center for Clinical and Translational Science through our partner institution, the University of Alabama at Birmingham. As a member of this network, we are eligible to compete for limited competition awards which a) correspond with the goals of the center, and b) offer a much greater chance of success than a typical extramural opportunity by virtue of the limited field of eligible applicants.

 

One such FOA is soliciting applications for “High Impact Specialized Innovation Programs in Clinical and Translational Science.” The purpose of this program is to support the development and demonstration of unique hub capabilities, research platforms and/or resources to address in a timely manner critical gap areas and/or roadblocks in clinical and translational science.


Eligible programs might focus on digital health, decentralized clinical trials, pragmatic trials, artificial intelligence/machine learning algorithms, point-of-care clinical decision support systems, data science and statistical methods, real-world data and real-world evidence, innovative clinical trial designs, genetics and genomics, though this list is non-exhaustive.

 

Please Note: The CCTS can only submit two applications per grant cycle. They are already at their proposal submission quota for the September 13, 2024, deadline, and they are nearing their quota for the January 13, 2025, cycle.


Interested investigators are urged to contact Tulane University School of Medicine's Director of Clinical Research Programs Andy Barton via email at abarton1@tulane.edu or phone at 504-988-9038 as soon as possible for assistance in gathering resources to support proposal development and submission.
