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. With the five-year award, the division will retool its informatics training program, which will focus on public health.

The program is actively seeking pre-doctoral and post-doctoral (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, funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, to define informatics training for both public health and informatics students.

Progress on these efforts and information about weekly seminars will be available at dhsi.med.jhmi.edu. 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. New investigators or experienced investigators moving in new directions are given priority, although all studies must focus on some aspect of intervention research.

To apply or learn more about these grants and other resources provided by the center, go to the CCIR Web page at www.son.jhmi.edu/research/ccir/resources.
