NEH Summer Stipends Writing Clinic
Summer 2021
|
|
The Office of Research Development, or ORD, is offering a month-long writing clinic July 12-August 2, that will use an iterative process to help interested faculty members develop and refine their submissions for the National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Stipends program. This clinic is based on the approach ORD 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.
The steps will be as follows:
- Prewriting questions – submit by July 12; group meeting week of July 12.
- Research and contribution section – based on answers to prewriting questions – submit by July 19; group meeting week of July 19
- Methodology and work plan; competencies, skills and access; final product and dissemination sections – submit by July 26; group meeting week of July 26
- Full 3-page narrative section – submit by August 2; group meeting week of August 2.
We are seeking volunteers to help serve as mentors during the clinic and two to three mentors with humanities expertise to assist with critiques. This is of potential interest to mentors who are interested in obtaining additional grantsmanship practice.
If you are interested in participating in this writing clinic either as a mentee or a mentor, please send an email stating your interest to ord@k-state.edu by June 16.

Opportunity to recruit 2-year research fellow |
|
Faculty researchers: We are a member of the Clinical and Translational Science Award One Health Alliance. As a member, we are able to host veterinary clinical specialists to participate in interdisciplinary research teams.
The pertinent information is below; please note, a K-State match contribution will be required so please notify the Office of the Vice President for Research ASAP if you are interested.
Can your laboratory use the expertise of a funded research postdoc with specialty training in spontaneous animal models of disease?
We are soliciting research mentors to provide a short description of a collaborative mentored research opportunity in their lab that can leverage the expertise of a veterinary specialist. The deadline for this short submission is July 15, 2021.
We will be funding four 2-year research fellows in our 2022 cohort, across the 15 CTSAs affiliated with veterinary schools.
This call is for fellowship training opportunities to start in Aug 2022. Full applications with a specific fellow will be due in January 2022.

BioNexus KC is currently accepting submissions until June 4, 2021 for our 2021 Science2Art program.
Science2Art is a platform for regional scientists to display and describe their research through the visual arts. Each of these remarkable images tells a personal research story and poetically captures the fieldwork performed by the scientists and their teams. These images were submitted by scientists from Columbia, Missouri, to Manhattan, Kansas. All proceeds from the Science2Art auction will be donated to STEAM education in KC.

To fully benefit from the exponentially growing body of biomedical data, we need cutting-edge approaches that foster data access, analysis, sharing, and collaboration so novel scientific questions can be pursued. But the sheer volume, sometimes siloed nature, along with the costs and time associated with analyzing large datasets, can be difficult for some researchers. Recognizing these concerns, NIH is helping by hosting large data sets and bringing together computational tools and cloud technologies in ways that support open access, interoperability, and collaborative analyses. We encourage you to explore how these resources may help accelerate your research in ways not possible before. nexus.od.nih.gov
Scientists at Stony Brook University and the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior have pieced together a timeline of how brain and body size evolved in mammals over the last 150 million years. The findings, published in Science Advances, show that brain size relative to body size -- long considered an indicator of animal intelligence --has not followed a stable scale over evolutionary time. nsf.gov
An abnormal buildup of carbohydrates -- sugars and starches -- in the kernels and leaves of a mutant line of corn can be traced to one mis-regulated gene. The discovery offers clues about how the plant deals with stress. nsf.gov
Women taking 1,000 mg of docosohexanoic acid (DHA) daily in the last half of pregnancy had a lower rate of early preterm birth than women who took the standard 200 mg dose, according to a study funded by the National Institutes of Health. Women who entered the study with the lowest DHA level had the greatest reduction in early preterm birth, which is birth before 34 weeks of pregnancy and which increases the risk of infant death and disability. nsf.gov
