NEW Proposal Submission Guidelines

Starting September 1, 2023, the CPH Office of Research will require the CPH principal investigators to notify the CPH Office of Research of their intent to submit a research proposal at least twenty (20) business days before the sponsor’s submission deadline [at least thirty (30) business days for complex grants; CPH defines a grant as a “complex” if it involves a subaward or totals more than $5 million].

To notify the CPH Office of Research, investigators should use the CPH Proposal Submission Intake Form available on the CPH website https://cph.uky.edu/research or directly accessible here Proposal Submission Intake Form (uky.edu).

Please, do not hesitate to reach out to the CPH Office of Research ( CPHResearch@uky.edu) or the CPH Assistant Dean for Research Operations, Doris Castellanos (doris.castellanos@uky.edu) with any questions.

Call for Papers: "Emerging Geospatial Data Applications in Road Safety Studies"

The Accident Analysis & Prevention journal is accepting manuscript submissions for their special issues titled "Emerging Geospatial Data Applications in Road Safety Studies". You can read more about the special issues and how to submit here.

Manuscripts are due by November 30, 2023. You can submit your manuscript anytime before the deadline. For any inquiries about the appropriateness of contribution topics, please contact Dr. Xiao Li xiao.li@ouce.ox.ac.uk.

About the journal:

Accident Analysis & Prevention provides wide coverage of the general areas relating to accidental injury and damage, including the pre-injury and immediate post-injury phases. Published papers deal with medical, legal, economic, educational, behavioral, theoretical or empirical aspects of transportation accidents, as well as with accidents at other sites. Selected topics within the scope of the Journal may include: studies of human, environmental and vehicular factors influencing the occurrence, type and severity of accidents and injury; the design, implementation and evaluation of countermeasures; biomechanics of impact and human tolerance limits to injury; modelling and statistical analysis of accident data; policy, planning and decision-making in safety.

The UK Cannabis Center, in collaboration with Center for Health Equity and Transformation (CHET), would like to invite you to attend a cannabis science webinar with Dr. LaTrice Montgomery from the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. Her research focuses on cannabis and tobacco use and co-use (with a focus on blunt use), technology-based interventions for substance use disorders, and advancing health equity. Dr. Montgomery will provide an overview of her research on blunt and medical cannabis use, especially among underserved populations.

This webinar is free and open to the public, so please feel to circulate to anyone who may be interested. 

Presenter: Dr. LaTrice Montgomery

Date: August 22, 2023

Time: 11am – 12pm EST

This fall will be hosting the third cohort of Compass – a new online training and mentoring program to develop leadership and management skills for early-career biomedical researchers. Biomedical research is broadly defined – it includes, but is not limited to, basic sciences, clinical, public health, computational, and behavioral/social research disciplines. This NIH-funded program focuses on practical skills and resources that are immediately applicable to program scholars. We are currently enrolling and believe Compass may be of interest to your CTSA program. There is no cost to participate.

Compass is open to all biomedical junior faculty and postdocs at U.S. academic institutions who lead or plan to lead a lab or research team. Compass includes both independent and team-based learning, as well as several live virtual events. The cohort launches on September 11 and the foundational training will run for 10 weeks. Compass balances structure and flexibility to meet the needs of busy researchers. After the foundational training, scholars remain a member of the Compass community and receive ongoing mentoring.
