In this webinar, a panel of experts will share what the field currently knows about gender-based violence in the Latinx community. The first panelist will discuss cultural beliefs and stigma surrounding the help-seeking process for survivors of intimate partner violence and how to better support service engagement and programming. The second panelist group will address gaps in understanding sexual violence rates among Latinx students and their rates of, and experiences with, disclosure and reporting to law enforcement. A moderated Q&A session will follow the presentations

Effective September 7, 2022, researchers will no longer receive the message “There is a problem uploading this attachment; e.g., password protected, portfolio PDFs, corrupt files, and some digitally signed files are not supported” when attempting to upload application attachments if the files fall into one of those restricted categories. Upload restrictions will only be applied to attachments a researcher is trying to upload to an Other Review (i.e., Protocol Violation (PV); Unanticipated Problem (UP); Deviation/Exception (DEV/EXC); or Administrative Study Closure).

If you have created an Other Review and need to upload an attachment that falls in one of the restricted file categories, please either scan the document and upload the scanned version as a PDF file, or create a screen shot of the document and upload the screen shot as a PDF file.

The University of Kentucky Building Interdisciplinary Research Careers in Women's Health (BIRCWH) program is accepting applications! 

ONE Scholar position and TWO Associate positions available effective January 2023. Applications are due at 11:59PM Friday, October 14, 2022

BIRCWH Scholars and Associates, selected through a competitive application process, are tenure track, Assistant Professor Faculty from across the University of Kentucky.

The BIRCWH program constitutes one element of a broader and growing federal focus on advancing research in women's health and sex differences. The NIH Office of Research on Women's Health, which houses the BIRCWH program, was established 32 years ago to better include women and women's health in clinical research and science.

This call for applications is for a 12-month appointment during which selected faculty are expected to complete training in the ethical conduct of research, participate in seminars, and set the foundation to become an established, independent researchers in women's health. This NIH training grant covers 75% of Scholars’ protected time to focus on research to accomplish these goals. Associates’ protected time for research (30-50%) is negotiated with UK Colleges. The Associate program is ideal for untenured faculty beginning their career at UK with a start-up funding, or those without US Citizenship/Permanent Residency.

The UK BIRCWH program offers numerous resources, including mentorship, networking, professional and career development, and manuscript and grant writing assistance. Our goal is to support BIRCWH members on their trajectory to becoming independent and funded women’s health researchers.

The program is entering its 22nd year as a founding NIH BIRCWH program. Our BIRCWH research community includes UK faculty with interconnected research interests and at similar points in their careers. We actively address the challenges of maintaining a life while advancing a research career and juggling instructional and/or clinical demands.

Description: The American Cancer Society has requested research exploring the Role of Health Policy and Health Insurance in Improving Access to and Performance of Cancer Prevention, Early Detection, and Treatment Services. Proposals will be accepted for research projects on national, state, and/or local policy changes and the response to these changes by healthcare systems, insurers, payers, communities, practices, and patients.

ACS is interested in evaluating the impact of the many changes in the healthcare system, focusing on cancer prevention, control, and treatment. Efforts focusing on improving access to care may also impact inequities that contribute to health disparities. Public health public policy initiatives such as the new federal and state marketplaces that have expanded insurance coverage and Medicaid expansion in some states create natural experiments ripe for evaluation.

ACS is keenly interested in supporting rapid learning research to study the effects of health policy changes on patients, providers, and health systems, including but not limited to facilitators and barriers to care; unintended consequences; differential experiences, and outcomes of patients seeking or receiving care; best practice models for quality care; and economic impact.

Grant awards of two to three years have maximum direct costs of $200,000 per year (with 20 percent allowable indirect costs), and awards of four years have maximum direct costs of $165,000 per year (with 20 percent allowable indirect costs).

To be eligible, applicants must be faculty at a U.S. academic institution or eligible nonprofit. Full-time independent investigators at all stages of their careers are encouraged to apply.

Closing Date: October 15, 2022
