Evidence-Based Health Care
A patient-care workshop offered by the Welch Library will
explore the basic concepts of evidence-based health care
and the resources used in practice. Attendees will learn
how to locate practice guidelines, systematic reviews,
clinical trials and other statistically relevant articles
quickly and easily.
This class will cover advanced features of PubMed, the
Cochrane Library, TRIP Database and other resources. In
addition, participants will learn how to evaluate results
and determine if they can apply the information to their
practice.
The workshop will take place from 9 a.m. to noon on
Tuesday, July 27, in the 2024 building, East Baltimore
campus. For more information, go to

The clothing, which must be gender-separated, will be
picked up on Friday and delivered to Christopher Place
Employment Academy (for men), and the Women's Housing
Coalition. For information on drop-off locations and the

Grant-Writing Workshop
The Professional Development Office at JHMI is sponsoring a
two-day grant-writing workshop for junior faculty. All
participants must attend the first session, which is
designed to assist first-time applicants with writing an
NIH or other peer-reviewed research proposal. The workshop
focuses on the NIH research plan, including the abstract
and specific aims, background and significance, preliminary
studies, and research design and methods. This session will
be held from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 6, in the
Tilghman Auditorium.
The second part of the workshop consists of small
group discussions of participants' abstracts and specific
aims. Participants will choose one of three dates —
Aug. 20, Sept. 8 or Sept. 10 — for this session,
which is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the 1830
Building, room 2-108. One week prior to the second session,
participants must submit a draft of their abstract and
specific aims. In addition to discussing these sections of
the application in small groups, all participants will
receive a written critique of their abstract and specific
aims from the course instructor, Wendy Sanders, director of
the Professional Development Office and a member of the
School of Medicine faculty. To register, call 410-502-2804
