Biomedical Informatics Funding
The National Library of Medicine has renewed funding for
the Informatics Training Program in the School of
Medicine's Division of Health Sciences Informatics.
The program is seeking pre-doctoral and postdoctoral
(PhD, DrPH, ScD, MD) candidates for matriculation in July
2007. Students enrolling in the program will find new
resources for the faculty, new courses and new programs for
study. The award supplements the effort already under way
to define informatics training for public health and
informatics students.
For more information, contact the training program
director, Harold Lehmann, at lehmann@jhmi.edu, or
program manager Jessika Wrabel, at
jessikawrabel@jhmi.edu.

Collaborative Intervention Pilot Funds
Pilot study funding — $20,000 each to three studies
this year — is now available through the Center for
Collaborative Intervention Research at the School of
Nursing. The center and the annual funding of pilot studies
stimulate research alliances among health care disciplines,
including nursing, public health and medicine.
JHU faculty may apply for 2007-2008 funding by
completing an online Intent to Submit form by Feb. 1. The
funds are available to doctorally prepared full-time
faculty from disciplines across JHU who collaborate with
SoN faculty as members of their research team.
To apply or learn more about these grants and other
resources provided by the center, go to the CCIR Web page
