HBC April - May 2018 News Bulletin
HBC New Grant Specialist
A new team member, Mickie Gillispie, will join the HBC’s Proposal Preparation Services on May 7. Some of you might remember that Mickie worked in the HBC’s post award services several years ago. She subsequently worked in other departments at the University of Kansas. We are glad to have her back on the HBC team!
Linda Carlyle’s New Position at the HBC
Following her retirement from her position as Associate Director of Finance and Operations, Linda Carlyle will now assume the role of Support Services Assistant. In that role, she will work with John Stobaugh, the Associate Director for Academic Research, in the formation of project teams and the development of new programs. She will also assist investigators, especially beginning investigators, in the preparation of grant proposals, or investigators wanting to develop large programmatic research proposals. Finally, she will pursue the possibility of developing with NIH a grant writing mentoring workshop. We hope that you will find these to be interesting additions to the services offered by the HBC.
Biomedical Sciences Symposium
The first Biomedical Sciences Symposium held on April 12th was a great success and was attended by over seventy people. Two keynote speakers, Dr. Paola Castaldi and Dr. Rao Mantri, as well as six student speakers, gave very informative and interesting presentations. We thank them all for sharing their time and expertise.
Fifty-eight posters were presented during the poster session. We are grateful to all who participated in sharing their research. Congratulations to this year’s poster winners, Sayantani Basu, Wade Henke, Jeff McFarlane, and Jimmy Song. Abstracts from oral and poster presentations that were submitted by the April 5th deadline, as well as pictures of the event, can be found on the Biomedical Sciences Symposium web page.
We also would like to take this opportunity to thank the students from the Dynamic Aspects of Chemical Biology Training Program and the Biotechnology Training Program who organized this symposium in collaboration with the HBC. Their great work and dedication was truly appreciated.
