Environmental Mutagen Society Annual Meeting
Written by Humberto Ortiz Zuazaga   

The Environmental Mutagen Society (EMS) is currently the primary intellectual forum for researchers interested in the development and application of transgenic technology of toxicological studies and for the development of methods for studying mutations and the mechanisms of mutation and DNA repair in model cellular systems as well as humans. This year the EMS will have its annual meeting in Puerto Rico. This meeting provides an important setting for the presentation of data emerging from the Human Genome Project, especially mutation spectra, mutational mechanisms, and new techniques for detection of mutation and genomic instability in humans.

The meeting will be held at the Wyndham Rio Mar Resort on October 18-22, 2008. The web site for the meeting is at www.ems-us.org/AM2008/index.asp

 
IDeA Program National Symposium
Written by Humberto Ortiz Zuazaga   

2nd Biennial National IDeA Symposium of

Biomedical Research Excellence (NISBRE)

http://www.mpi-evv.com/2008idea/fptemplate/researchpath/default.htm

 Wednesday August 6 to Friday August 8, 2008

Wardman Park Marriott Hotel

Washington, D.C.

There will be scientific sessions and poster presentations highlighting areas of research supported by IDeA’s Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) and Networks of Biomedical Research Excellence (INBRE), as well as technical and administrative sessions and workshops.

This meeting is open to all interested parties. We encourage attendance by principal investigators, program coordinators, investigators, staff, and students, from IDeA research institutes and institutions, and from partner primarily undergraduate institutionsto showcase accomplishments, exchange ideas, foster collaborations, encourage educational opportunities, and demonstrate the Program’s progress in developing biomedical resources and research capacity in IDeA states.

Written by Humberto Ortiz Zuazaga   

2008 AMIA Summit on Translational Bioinformatics
InterContinental Mark Hopkins San Francisco
San Francisco, California
March 10-12, 2008

Learning Objectives

To present the latest progress on using informatics approaches to improve translational biomedical research

  • To provide a platform to share research-related issues among the nationwide initiatives on translational research informatics, such as CTSA, caBIG, NCBC, etc.
  • To identify the current challenges of translational research informatics and to define the future directions
  • Articulate challenges and opportunities in translational bioinformatics
  • To learn a framework for developing, deploying and assessing translational bioinformatics initiatives.
  • To acquire techniques for implementing specific clinical decision support interventions
  • To appreciate how translational bioinformatics may be deployed to enhance clinical and translational research
  • To review and gain an understanding of key lessons learned by translational bioinformatics researchers
  • Identify areas of interaction among computational biology, genomics research, electronic health records, health information exchanges, and public health.

Funding for community-based participatory research
Written by Humberto Ortiz Zuazaga   
On January 16, 2008, the NIH Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR) released three funding opportunity announcements on community-based participatory research (CBPR).  The Program Announcement (PA) seeks R01 grant applications that propose intervention research on health promotion, disease prevention, and health disparities that communities and researchers jointly conduct.  The Program Announcements with special review/receipt (PAR) seek both R01 and R21 applications that propose research on health promotion, disease prevention, and health disparities that is jointly conducted by communities and researchers and targets medically underserved areas (MUAs) and medically underserved populations (MUPs) as defined by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). Please reference the below announcements for complete details.
