This clinic is based on the approach the office has offered successfully for the National Science Foundation CAREER opportunity and has used for the last two years for the NEH Summer Stipends program.
Interested faculty members will agree to participate in all sessions and assignments of the clinic. We will meet once a week via Zoom to review and discuss the writing assignments. The clinic will be limited to at most eight participants.

A new antibody testing study examining samples originally collected through the National Institutes of Health’s All of Us Research Program found evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infections in five states earlier than had initially been reported. nih.
In a commentary in Cell, scientists, administrators, staff and leaders from the National Institutes of Health set forth a framework to end structural racism across the biomedical research enterprise and spur much needed widescale, systematic changes. Known as the UNITE initiative, it represents the first time all NIH Institutes and Centers are jointly focused on structural racism in biomedical science — both within the agency and throughout the biomedical workforce, as well as in the research NIH supports. nih.gov
In a study of healthy volunteers, National Institutes of Health researchers have mapped out the brain activity that flows when we learn a new skill, such as playing a new song on the piano, and discovered why taking short breaks from practice is a key to learning. The researchers found that during rest the volunteers’ brains rapidly and repeatedly replayed faster versions of the activity seen while they practiced typing a code. The more a volunteer replayed the activity the better they performed during subsequent practice sessions, suggesting rest strengthened memories. nih.gov
Each year, landslides kill thousands of people around the world and cause catastrophic property damage. But scientists are still trying to better understand the circumstances that cause them. Doing so would go a long way toward predicting where landslides could occur and how severe they might be.
A global survey of fossil pollen has shown that the planet's vegetation is changing at least as quickly today as it did when the last ice sheets retreated around 10,000 years ago. Approximately 3,000 to 4,000 years ago, Earth's plant communities began changing at an accelerated pace. Today, this pace rivals or exceeds the rapid turnover that took place as plants colonized formerly frozen landscapes and adapted to a global climate that warmed by about 10 degrees Fahrenheit. nsf.gov
