NRMN Collaboration with BUILDs
Request for Virtual Mentors

BUILD Virtual Summer Research Experience.

Due to the current pandemic and the closures of research laboratories to the NIH BUILD trainees, several of the BUILD program sites have collaborated to develop a summer research alliance. This summer the alliance will be comprised of five of the ten BUILD sites and will offer two research options for the participating trainees. In an effort to assist with the small group nature of the research options, we would like to involve more researchers in our effort. Please review the research options below and inform us of your interest.

Training Opportunities
Foundation for Advanced Education in the Sciences

The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS ), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) , and the Foundation for Advanced Education in the Sciences (FAES ) have partnered to offer an online course in the principles of translational science. 

Registration is now open. Visit https://faes.org. 
Dates: June 15 – July 31, 2020 
Fee: The fee for this initial offering of the course is $50 per person. 

Learn more about the course and register: https://faes.org .
Translation is the process of turning observations in the laboratory, clinic and community into interventions that improve the health of individuals and the public — from diagnostics and therapeutics to medical procedures and behavioral changes. 
Translational Science is an emerging field that seeks to identify broadly generalizable scientific and operational principles for translational research. Translational science examines translational research from a systems perspective to develop approaches that can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of translational research endeavors, broadly. 
In this course , students will learn key principles of translational science, taught by way of a case study of a highly successful translational research partnership involving NCATS, the National Cancer Institute (NCI), Northwestern University and the University of Kansas. The partnership produced a promising potential drug shown to inhibit metastasis in animal models, which is being examined in a first-in-human clinical trial in 2020. 
NRMN in the Community
The UI Journal Presents: The Use and Impact of NIH-fueled Resources for Mentoring— Reports from the Field
In August 2019, the Special Issue editors elicited our interest in publishing a series of papers from the NIH Diversity Consortium. Specifically, the papers would report results from the implementation of various research mentor and/or mentee training interventions at BUILD (Building Infrastructure Leading to Diversity) institutions using resources from the first phase of NRMN (National Research Mentoring Network). 

We are very pleased to present this Special Issue, The Use and Impact of NIH-fueled Resources for Mentoring— Reports from the Field, consisting of seven papers plus an Introduction from NIGMS and an Overview by the Special Issue editors. We believe this collection reflects state-of-the-art lessons for the UI community. We also welcome suggestions of topics for other special issues.

~Racial Equity in Online Environments~
On April 23rd, CUE hosted the  first session  in its new webinar series on Racial Equity in Online Teaching Environments, which was attended by the maximum number of allowed viewers (1,000) with a waiting list of hundreds more.
 
Dr. Bensimon led the session, which began with remarks from California Community Colleges Chancellor Eloy Ortiz Oakley, who asked, “Why is racial equity important today? It's certainly important to us in the California community colleges because…we are the front door to higher education for the majority of students of color and low-income.”
