In our latest Biomedical Beat blog post, we’ve compiled interviews with NIGMS-supported researchers who have shared valuable advice for students interested in pursuing a career in science. Find the full Q&As with Drs. Eda Koculi of The University of Texas at El Paso, Abraham Badu-Tawiah, PhD of The Ohio State University, Morgan DeSantis of the University of Michigan, Xuecai Ge of the University of California, Merced, and Elias Picazo of USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences at the link in the comments. #ScienceCareers #BiomedicalResearch #STEMEducation

How do programs work for different groups? Researchers at the Coordination and Evaluation Center at UCLA examined data from the Enhance Diversity Study (EDS)—a longitudinal study evaluating a national undergraduate biomedical training program called Building Infrastructure Leading to Diversity (BUILD)—to understand outcomes for women of color students involved in the program.  Read “Evaluating a National Biomedical Training Program Using QuantCrit: Revealing Disparities in Research Self-efficacy for Women of Color Undergraduates” to learn more: https://lnkd.in/gHEGnP3M. Authors include Jayashri Srinivasan, PhD, Krystle Palma Cobian, PhD, Nicole Marie-Gerardi Maccalla, Ph.D., and Christina A. Christie, PhD.

This is such a special article! We not only use quantitative methods, but this work reveals what we might find when we look closely at groups that need support. And what a great team to work with, so much more work to do. Let's go team!

ICYMI: Coastal Carolina University was awarded a $640,000 grant from the South Carolina Research Authority to build a research commercialization and technology transfer capacity. The grant will develop infrastructure and expertise to help CCU faculty researchers take their ideas from the lab to the market with a primary focus on active research teams in the kinesiology and biomedical fields. ➡️ Read more: bit.ly/4iemQAd

if you didn't yet, it is time to register to the Young Researcher's Symposium on Life Science! In this interview we share why we think you should not miss it:

For more than two decades, an anonymous benefactor provided funds so that Ph.D. students could attend scientific meetings. The source of the funding came to light this year with the naming of the Lily Weinshilboum Travel Award for Mayo Clinic Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences. Read more: https://mayocl.in/3P2MA5e

What does #communityengagement in #translationalresearch *really* mean? Last year, CREST helped develop a free, 25-minute, self-paced course to help explain what translational research is, the work that is currently going on at Tufts University, and how you can get involved. After completing this course, you will be able to: -Describe two examples of community research partnerships at Tufts. -Describe the translational research process. -Identify the various roles that community members can take on in academic research. Time to complete: 25 minutes (and please take the post-course survey!)

Exciting news from UCL! As of Monday 24 June, UCL’s institutional repository, UCL Discovery, has reached an incredible milestone of 50 million downloads! 🔦 UCL Discovery serves as our open access repository, showcasing a diverse range of research outputs across all disciplines. Currently hosting over 178,500 open access publications, the platform includes a variety of resources such as doctoral theses, research master’s works, and books published by UCL Press. This rich collection underscores our commitment to advancing knowledge, openness and accessibility in academia. 💡 The 50 millionth download was of the paper "Replenishing IRAK-M expression in retinal pigment epithelium attenuates outer retinal degeneration," published in Science Translational Medicine. This research highlights how increasing a key protein's levels could potentially protect against age-related macular degeneration, a leading cause of vision loss among older adults. 🚀 Congratulations to everyone involved in achieving this remarkable milestone! Let’s continue pushing the boundaries of open access and research dissemination at UCL.

“The Department of Defense increased its funding by 73%, awarding USF a new record high of $36 million. The USF Institute of Applied Engineering, Inc. signed two of its largest defense contracts with U.S. Special Operations Command and U.S. Central Command – both headquartered at MacDill Air Force Base. Projects include assisting the U.S. Department of Defense in developing a roadmap to enhance its combat capabilities and leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to develop indexes that are based on political, economic and environmental factors in the Middle East.” We are proud contributors to the ongoing growth and success of University of South Florida under President Rhea Law’s incredible leadership!
