Scholars@UK is designed to bring focus to your work, drive research collaborations and support institution-wide success. We look forward to making our portal viewable to the public February 15^th and encourage you to use this tool to its fullest potential. 

Scholars@UK is a searchable database of University of Kentucky research faculty and staff, containing:

• Information about academic appointments
• Research expertise
• Publication outputs and metrics
• Awarded sponsored grants and contracts
• Patents and other intellectual property
• Equipment and laboratory space
• Additional scholarly accomplishments and affiliations

Each profile includes a specialized “scholarly fingerprint” related to the topical area and expertise of the researcher or research unit. 

For questions about profile editing assistance, please send an email to CPHResearch@uky.edu. For technical support, please email the Scholars@UK team at scholars@uky.edu.

We need your help validating and updating your profile. Below are instructions to help you get started or complete updates.

Important Note: When you log into your profile and review your positions—you will see start dates for each position. Please ignore these start dates—the analytics team had to hard-code the dates in order to have the positions display on your profile in a particular order. No need to have those dates corrected, they are not viewable to the public and are not used in any reporting.

Please visit this help page for FAQs and specific help videos and training opportunities: https://www.research.uky.edu/research-analytics/scholarsuk-help.

You can also email scholars@uky.edu with any questions you have and the Research Analytics team will promptly respond.

Instructions:

1. Visit scholars.uky.edu
2. Use the one-sheet guide attached to login and find your profile. You can also search for your name to find it. Once logged in you will be able to make changes and updates to some of the content. Any data we “sync” from internal databases will not be editable, but will need to be fixed in underlying data sources. Please contact your department administrative staff if any sync’d data needs corrected.
3. You have the ability to add additional positions to your profile, but if one needs modified that we sync from internal databases you will need to contact your college administrator, they will need to make the updates in SAP and/or the faculty database on your behalf.
4. Research output that is indexed by SCOPUS or available through select online sources will need to be turned on under Automated Search. Once turned on, please allow time for the output to pull in. New searches are performed every 7 days. Examples of available online sources:

• Scopus, Digital Commons, Mendeley, PubMed, Web of Science, Arto. EBSCoHost, and many others

1. Not all data is available in our central database or available through online sources. Manual updates will need to be made for the following:

• Research output that is not indexed in large online databases (Presentations, some books, policy papers, posters, doctoral thesis, etc.
• Internally funded research, SCOPE accounts, and some pilot projects
• Projects funded by gifts or endowment funds

Notice of Special Interest (NOSI): COVID-19 Pandemic Mental Health Research

Issued by National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)

Purpose: NIMH is issuing this Notice of Special Interest (NOSI) to highlight interest in basic, translational, intervention and services research relevant to the COVID-19 pandemic. NIMH is especially interested in research to provide an evidence base to understand how mental illness contributes to COVID-19 risk and mortality, how incident mental illness develops with COVID-19, and the development of scalable interventions to meet the public mental health needs during and resulting from the pandemic both specifically related to the virus but also at a broader population level that is impacted by stress, disruptions, and loss of lives in the pandemic. Research addressing the intersection of COVID-19, mental health, and HIV treatment and prevention are also of interest to NIMH. Research is anticipated to focus on particularly vulnerable populations based on existing evidence of increased mental health symptoms and illness and preexisting and worsening health disparities.

NIH - HEAL Initiative: Advancing Health Equity in Pain and Comorbidities

(R61/R33 Clinical Trial Required)

Agency: NIH

Description: The purpose of this FOA is to solicit applications to develop, test, and implement novel, culturally-appropriate pain interventions and/or adapt, test and evaluate efficacy and effectiveness of existing pain interventions, in populations that disproportionately experience negative health outcomes. Desired outcomes of these interventions include reduction of pain and pain-related symptoms, and improvement in overall health outcomes, including function and quality of life. Interventions that target populations that experience health disparities with chronic pain in addition to at least one comorbid condition (OUD, mental health disorders and/or chronic health conditions) are of the highest priority.

Announcement Number: RFA-NS-037

Closing Date: March 22, 2022

Description: NIMH is issuing this FOA in response to the declared public health emergency issued by the Secretary, HHS, for 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). See "Determination that a Public Health Emergency Exists Nationwide as the Result of the 2019 Novel Coronavirus" as renewed in "Renewal of the Determination that a Public Health Emergency Exists Nationwide as the Result of the Continued Consequences of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Pandemic". This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) aims to address urgent, time-sensitive mental health research questions related to COVID-19, including broader secondary impacts of the pandemic as well as research on the intersection of mental health, COVID-19, and HIV. Research supported will improve public health in the near term by informing responses to the current pandemic through 1) understanding mechanisms by which mental illness impacts SARS-CoV-2 morbidity and mortality, 2) exploring how COVID-19 contributes to incident mental illness or HIV-outcomes, 3) identifying modifiable targets uniquely or robustly implicated in the pandemic that are relevant to new and worsening mental illness, and 4) conducting mechanistic trials probing biological or behavioral processes of those targets that may be pursued in future mental health therapeutic development. Research is anticipated to be informed by and directed towards vulnerable populations based on evidence of preexisting and worsened health disparities.

Announcement Number: PAR-22-113
