Hands-on Training
ORSP has scheduled more hands-on training sessions in the use
of Grants.gov to prepare grant applications. Although these sessions will focus
on the application kit required for the NIH RO1 program, this application kit is
similar to those used by other sponsors.
The workshops will take place in the
Allison Road Classroom (ARC) Computer Lab, #119 so seating is limited to
27 participants per class. If you register and subsequently can not attend,
please cancel your registration so that others may attend. After you register,
you will receive an email from ORSP with additional class information and
requirements.
The workshops on Cook Campus will take in Computer Lab Room

Biomaterials and Board of Governors Professor of Chemistry and Chemical
Biology -
Commericalization strategies for faculty: From a simple licensing deal to
the creation of a start-up company
-

Human Biological Data Interchange: DNA and Cells Available
for Research
The Human Biological Data Interchange (HBDI) was
established in 1988 with a mission to facilitate research into the genetics of
type 1 diabetes, its complications and related disorders. HBDI provides approved
scientists with access to:
· The HBDI Catalog - a compilation of 503 highly
characterized family pedigrees with B-lymphoblastoid cell lines and DNA
available for research from key members. In many cases information such as HLA
typing and autoantibody data is available in addition to the detailed medical
histories.
· The HBDI International Type I Diabetes Database - a
database of information provided by more than 82,000 individuals in 6,700
families with members with diabetes. Information is available on
diabetes-related complications as well as many other medical conditions.
Customized family recruitment services are available.
Please e-mail hbdi@ndriresource.org or call (800) 345-4234 for more details or
to place an order.
HBDI is a division of the National Disease Research
Interchange (NDRI), a NIH-funded not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization that has
served the scientific community for 25 years with human tissues, cell lines and
DNA for use in a wide variety of research studies. In addition to the HBDI
biomaterials and data described above, NDRI provides investigators with human
organ and tissue procurement services. NDRI places nearly 20,000 normal and
diseased tissues each year with approved researchers. Unique programs exist to
serve researchers in a number of specialized areas with tumor samples, islet
cells, bone marrow, cord blood, stem cells and tissues from donors with rare
diseases and HIV. Contact us at 800-222-6374, email
research@ndriresource.org, or
visit our website at
www.ndriresource.org
to learn more about the availability of tissues for research through these
programs.

The conference is a two-day program lead by
Society of Research Administrators (SRA) faculty from across the
country. Participants will receive classroom instruction by a faculty of
five individuals, engage in focused discussions, and participate in
group case studies and problem exercises. The program goes beyond "the
usual conference" approach by offering real-life solutions to problems
in research administration, including:
-
Management
principles
-
Compliance and
controls
-
Intellectual
property and technology transfer
-
Financial planning
and reporting
-
Contracting
approaches
Each participant will receive a comprehensive
reference notebook. The Departmental Administrators Resource Book is

development in research administration.
Participants can register
online. Individuals can pay from departmental accounts or by
personal check. Registration and payment must be received no later than
March 2, 2007.
-
Registration fee
for Rutgers employees: $150.00
