Extension of administrative relief for recipients and applicants of federal financial assistance directly impacted by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) due to loss of operations

Grant-funded K-State employees who are unable to work on a project, either in person or remotely, should not be paid from federal grants beyond May 30.
Last week, the White House authorized flexibilities allowing universities and other federal grant recipients to pay researchers from active federal awards who cannot work while the Covid-19 pandemic keeps laboratories closed have been extended. However, this only applies if organizations maintain a policy that pays salaries for all personnel (under these unexpected or extraordinary circumstances) from all funding sources, federal and non-federal. K-State’s current policy does not allow employees to be paid if they are unable to work remotely or in person.

A UIDP & MITRE webinar
11 a.m.-noon
July 1, 2020
MITRE manages operations for the COVID-19 Healthcare Coalition. The Coalition is a private-sector-led response that brings together healthcare organizations, technology firms, nonprofits, academia, and startups to quickly address government and community problems related to the pandemic. Together, we’re working to provide data-driven, real-time insights that help leaders across the U.S. make decisions on how to protect their populations.
This webinar will dive into the data streams that affect tracking and forecasting related to the pandemic--from cases and mortality to PPE and how supply chains are affected. Data capture, analysis, and a collaborative systems approach are essential to meeting the challenges of COVID-19

A virtual poster session
July 27-31, 2020.
All graduate students, postdocs and faculty members who are conducting relevant research in the AMR field, and could benefit from an opportunity to showcase their findings and network with other like-minded individuals are invited to attend.
What is a virtual poster session?
NIAMRRE is partnering with iPoster – a leading digital poster vendor – to host this event. Each poster will be listed on the session homepage with links to the individual poster. Within individual poster pages, presenters can upload a digitally recorded voice narration and a direct email link. We are also planning to have short virtual presentations for selected posters during a zoom session scheduled for each of the four topic areas at the end of the week.
Who is eligible to present?
Presenters can include faculty, students (graduate and undergraduate), postdocs and staff from NIAMRRE member institutions
We are asking participants to frame their posters around one of the four following topics:
- Reducing antimicrobial use by adapting precision agriculture approaches
- Improving clinical decision making and diagnostics related to antimicrobial resistance
- Systems approaches to manage antimicrobial resistance
- Promoting antimicrobial stewardship through integrated public outreach, extension and clinical training of health professionals.
How do I register?
Visit the
event registration page
. The cost to present a poster is $75 for the first poster, $100 for 2 posters and $125 for 3 posters.
The deadline for registering for the NIAMRRE Knowledge Exchange is
July 10, 2020
. Shortly after that date, you will receive an invitation to the poster portal from iPoster. You will then have access to a variety of poster templates and technical support for developing your poster.

Many people who contract COVID-19 have only a mild illness, or sometimes no symptoms at all. But others develop respiratory failure that requires oxygen support or even a ventilator to help them recover. It’s clear that this happens more often in men than in women, as well as in people who are older or who have chronic health conditions. But why does respiratory failure also sometimes occur in people who are young and seemingly healthy?
