ANNOUNCEMENTS
NIH Sample Grants and Summary Statements. NIH wants to remind you that the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) makes available examples of funded R01, R03, R15, R21, SBIR/STTR, K, and F applications, summary statements, sharing plans, leadership plans, and more. These actual documents were released with the gracious approval of the investigators.  Because they are not all the most recent application version (we’re on version E) one has to make sure that the specifics are appropriate, but in general they give you a good idea. The other way to get applications is to ask the PIs you know or are on campus.  Not sure who has one? Search www.projectreporter.nih.gov. Or ask me.

NIH Advice on how to do T32 Tables. I haven’t had time to look at these but I will digest and see how helpful they might be but just in case someone is interested, NIH has new tutorials on how to use XTRACT to get these tables.  https://nexus.od.nih.gov/all/2019/05/01/redesigned-era-website-provides-new-resources/. 

WORKSHOPS
Center for Computational Analysis of Social & Organizational Systems (CASOS) 2019 Summer Institute First day of training is Monday June 10th, instruction to begin at 8:30am. June 10 – 16, 2019 Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA. Registration is now open. Visit the website for more information about the program, http://www.casos.cs.cmu.edu/events/summer_institute/2019/.  Or see www.casos.cs.cmu.edu. 

FEBS workshop “Ageing and Regeneration” to be held in Innsbruck from September 9 -12, 2019 https://ageingandregeneration2019.febsevents.org. In this workshop we bring together a unique combination of scientists working in the fields of ageing and regeneration, two scientific fields which experience a very dynamic development at the time being. At the mechanistic level, processes underlying ageing and rejuvenation share common mechanisms with completely different outcomes. It is clear that a better understanding of these antagonizing processes and their underlying mechanisms will be of utmost importance for future success in regenerative medicine, which will enable fantastic opportunities to cope with diseases and ailments of old age. We have assembled an impressive line-up of prominent scientists from both fields who will together provide unique insight into basic molecular mechanisms underlying ageing and regeneration, with the promise to revolutionize regenerative medicine in short time. There are still some free spaces in the Workshop and we provide an extension of the deadline for registration until June 1, 2019.

CALLS FOR PAPERS 
4th International Administrative Data Research Conference (Cardiff, 12/9-12/11/2019) International Journal of Population Data Science (Deadline: 7/12/2019). For more information, visit: https://ijpds.org/adr2019. 

DATA
The Healthy Cognitive Aging Project: A major data resource for cognitive epidemiology.  NIA announces the first public release of these data.  These data are a sub-sample of the HRS, with the idea that this expansion could, in principle, provide us with population-level information about not only the prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, but also the relationship between cognitive impairment and thousands of other observations, including clinical, behavioral, social, and healthcare factors collected on the same individual over the course of decades. Recall that the majority of HRS participants have consented to be genotyped, given us blood samples from which a vast array of biomarkers can be measured, and consented to Medicare claims records linkages. The first public data releases of HCAP for the United States and Mexico have been made, with data releases for all other funded international HCAP studies to follow during the next 3 years. The use of sensitive data linked to respondents, including biomarker and genotype data, requires registering for an additional license (Data Access Use Agreement).

GRADUATE STUDENTS
Postdoctoral Fellowship in Policy Research on Neighborhoods and Health. The Neighborhood-Health Policy Research project at UCSF involves analyzing large Danish register data to examine the effects of neighborhood deprivation on dementia and its vascular risk factors among a cohort of immigrants to Denmark. The project emphasizes policy evaluation, social determinants, and research methods. Please visit the following site for additional details: https://epibiostat.ucsf.edu/postdoctoral-fellowship-policy-research-neighborhoods-and-health.

D-Lab is Hiring! D-Lab is looking to hire people with Stata experience to become instructors. We also seek ATLAS.ti (for Mac) and Dedoose instructors and/or consultants. Finally, if you are interested in teaching Machine Learning in R, let us know. Please fill out this brief application if interested!

D-LAB
D-Lab regularly offers workshops and training in courses, one-on-one consulting for faculty, grad students and undergraduates, and working groups of focuses topics. One-on-one consulting also available. For more information and registration, visit http://dlab.berkeley.edu. You can now add D-Lab workshops to your bcalendar directly from D-Lab workshop description. They will have pre-semester intensives, so be sure to check out the calendar.

RELATED LISTS

JOBS
All jobs and postdoctoral fellowships are posted as we receive them on the Demography Department Jobs Listserv, http://lists.demog.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/jobs. This list advertises positions of all sorts relevant for social and behavioral scientists with advanced degrees.

MIGRATION MAILING LIST
Berkeley Interdisciplinary Migration Initiative (BIMI.berkeley.edu) is a research center for the study of immigrants and immigration. BIMI has a mailing list (immigration_group@lists.berkeley.edu), which is where a good deal of immigration and migration announcements are posted, and not all of that material is posted on the PopSciences Weekly News.

SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH MAILING LIST 
Tue$day Top Tip$ for SPH Research is a listserv with research funding opportunities and other information pertinent to public health researchers who are not necessarily population researchers. To subscribe, write to Dr. Lauren Goldstein, lhg@berkeley.edu.
