Eighteenth Annual Summer Institute on Randomized Behavioral Clinical Trials on
July 8-19, 2018, in Warrenton, Virginia.
The
program provides a thorough grounding in the conduct of randomized clinical

competence in the planning, design, and execution of randomized clinical trials
involving behavioral interventions. Priority is given to individuals who
have received their Ph.D. or MD (or equivalent) after 2011, but all researchers
interested in pursuing a career in clinical research are encouraged to apply.
Dates
for the Institute this year are July 8-19, 2018. Applications are now
being accepted. The
deadline for submitting a completed application is February 23, 2018.
Dr. Alexander Chesler, Ph.D., Principal Investigator in the NCCIH Intramural Program will present the next Integrative Medicine Lecture, March 12, 2018 at 11 a.m. ET; NIH Main Campus (Bethesda, MD), Lipsett Amphitheater, NIH Building 10. A remote viewing option will be available.

Resources for Researchers
Fostering diversity by addressing underrepresentation in the scientific
research workforce is a key component of the NIH strategy to identify, develop,
support and maintain the quality of our scientific human capital. Every facet of the United States scientific research enterprise—from basic
laboratory research to clinical and translational research to policy
formation–requires superior intellect, creativity and a wide range of skill sets
and viewpoints. NIH's ability to help ensure that the nation remains a global
leader in scientific discovery and innovation is dependent upon a pool of highly
talented scientists from diverse backgrounds, particularly those from
underrepresented groups, who will help to further NIH's mission.
Questions
About the NIH SBIR/STTR Program? Webinars TODAY and TOMORROW!
Are you
interested in learning about grants offered through the NIH Small Business Innovation
Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Programs? On January 16, 2018, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) SBIR/STTR Program released the HHS SBIR/STTR PHS 2018-2 Grant Omnibus/Parent Solicitations; some will require Clinical Trials and others will not allow them.
To assist with this adjustment, NIH is offering
two informational webinars today and tomorrow. The content of both webinars will be similar, but Webinar
1 will provide specific information about Clinical Trials and using the New PHS
Human Subjects and Clinical Trials Information Form.
Webinar 1 - Tuesday February 6, 2018, 2-4 pm ET
HHS SBIR/STTR PHS 2018-2 Grant Clinical Trial Parent Webinar
Register now.
Webinar 2 - Wednesday February 7, 2018, 2-4 pm ET
HHS SBIR/STTR PHS 2018-2 Grant Non-Clinical Trial Omnibus
Webinar
Register now.
After
registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about
joining the webinar. Both
webinars will be recorded and transcribed, with videos, transcripts, and slides
being posted on sbir.nih.gov,
within one week of the broadcast. For more
