FUNDING
Smart and Connected Health (SCH) – Connecting Data, People and Systems. NSF 18-541. The purpose is to accelerate the development and integration of innovative computer and information science and engineering approaches to support the transformation of health and medicine. Approaches that partner technology-based solutions with biomedical and biobehavioral research are supported by multiple agencies of the federal government including the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The purpose of this program is to develop next-generation multidisciplinary science that encourages existing and new research communities to focus on breakthrough ideas in a variety of areas of value to health, such as networking, pervasive computing, advanced analytics, sensor integration, privacy and security, modeling of socio-behavioral and cognitive processes and system and process modeling. Effective solutions must satisfy a multitude of constraints arising from clinical/medical needs, barriers to change, heterogeneity of data, semantic mismatch and limitations of current cyberphysical systems and an aging population. Such solutions demand multidisciplinary teams ready to address issues ranging from fundamental science and engineering to medical and public health practice. [This mechanism is in partnership with many NIH ICs, including NIA and NIMH.]
FELLOWSHIPS
The Butler-Williams Scholars program. Are you a post-doc looking for training in aging research? Are you an established researcher who’s new to the area of aging research? Are you junior faculty interested in expanding your career options? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then you should apply for the 2018 NIA Butler-Williams Scholars Program. This year’s week-long program will take place from July 30-August 3, 2018 on the NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland. The B-W Scholars Program is sponsored by NIA with support from the Wake Forest University Health System and the John A. Hartford Foundation. The deadline for applications is March 23, 2018. For more information, visit HERE.
