Short career talk for biomedical traineesJim Woodgett
This document provides advice on pursuing an academic career in science. It begins with the author questioning whether such a career is still feasible given low success rates for fellowship and grant applications. The author then outlines their own academic career path from 1978-2005. They note that their own history is not relevant to current challenges. The document also lists former students and fellows, noting many have pursued careers outside of academia. It provides tips for improving chances of success, such as networking and customizing applications. Finally, it discusses traits of highly creative people and includes additional resource links.
The document summarizes an open innovation challenge hosted by MedImmune Biologics, a unit of AstraZeneca, to generate ideas for real business challenges. Eight challenges were presented to multi-disciplinary university student teams, who received background information and worked with a MedImmune mentor to develop novel and feasible ideas over one week. The ideas were then presented and assessed, with over ten found to be worth further developing. The event was deemed a success by MedImmune and participants, addressing real challenges, improving MedImmune's profile, and generating new ideas. MedImmune aims to expand this open innovation approach internally and externally going forward.
This document outlines Cheryl Stephens' plain language project cycling plan. The plan involves 5 phases: discover, define, design, develop, and deploy. In the discover phase, stakeholders are identified and the problem is explored. In define, goals and tasks are outlined. Design creates a strategy, develop writes content, and deploy tests with users. Evaluation and feedback are critical before learning from the experience and developing a proprietary system. The cycling plan provides a structured process for plain language projects.
This document discusses artificial selection in product development. It suggests using a Socratic method of questioning everything from all perspectives to determine the best tradeoffs. Survival requires long-term thinking, patience, and focusing execution by choosing a narrow slice to "zoom in" on, rather than trying to tackle everything at once. Products are like puzzles requiring perspective to solve.
1. The document discusses the responsibilities of mentors and supervisors in guiding students and junior researchers. Mentors are responsible for sharing their expertise, reflecting on their experiences, and ensuring students fulfill requirements for their degree.
2. Good mentorship involves identifying, understanding, and clarifying professional standards and ethical values. Mentors should be willing to share experience, interested in students' development, and ensure requirements are met.
3. The document outlines laws and guidelines for mentors, supervisors, and mentees to have productive relationships and ensure students' success in their research and career. It emphasizes clear communication, cooperation, and evaluating advice in one's own context.
You will have to learn to develop these scientific attitudes through continuous study and research. Scientists exhibit patterns of behavior guided by values and attitudes that constitute habits of mind. As you study science, you will learn to use the scientific method in solving problems.
Presenting research and technical informationPatrick Gibbons
This document provides guidance on presenting research and technical information effectively. It emphasizes that a good presentation tells a story with a clear beginning, middle, and end, and is supported by facts and data. The presenter should plan their presentation considering the format, audience, and time allowed. They should organize their material into an easy to follow structure and use visuals that are simple, clear, and leave white space. Practicing helps improve delivery and handling questions. The goal is to have the audience understand the problem, approach, or findings and leave with a clear takeaway message.

K-to-R Workshop: How to Write the Specific Aims (Part 1)UCLA CTSI
The document provides guidance on writing the Specific Aims section of a grant application. It recommends structuring the Specific Aims section in 3 paragraphs that: 1) establish the significance of the research area and overall goal, 2) describe the team's preliminary work leading to the project, and 3) state the specific aims of the project and expected impact. Each specific aim should be a single sentence stating an experimentally feasible and time-bound goal. The section should convince reviewers of the project's importance and addressance of funding criteria in 1 page without detail.
This document discusses the challenges of preserving cultural records in the digital age. It notes that most information is now created and stored digitally, but digital formats are ephemeral and storing data relies on continued third party support. This has the potential to erase large portions of cultural records over time. The document advocates developing digital repositories and standards to organize data in a way that allows content to be sustainably maintained over time, ensures authenticity to originals, enables interoperability across systems, and supports reuse and new ways of storytelling. The goal is to ensure digital resources that are important to scholarship and research today can still be discovered and accessed reliably in the future.

The document discusses the roles and responsibilities of PhD supervisors, collaborators, and how to apply for NIHR funding. It provides the following key points:
1) PhD supervisors guide students through the process, ensure regulations are followed, help with contacts and research guidance, but do not do work for students or take responsibility for their research.
2) Students should carefully select 1-2 supervisors and a clinical supervisor, considering their accessibility, support, time availability, and experience.
3) Collaborators assist with specialist parts of a project and expect to be authors on related papers.
4) NIHR applications require selling yourself as a future research leader and securing university support well in advance of
This document provides guidance on conducting clinical research. It discusses that good clinical research must answer an unresolved research question and solve the problem or question. Additionally, it should have a good presentation and style, demonstrate adequate knowledge of the literature, and use good research techniques and methods. The document emphasizes the importance of being motivated to conduct clinical research and provides tips for various stages of the research process, including defining the problem, conducting a literature review, collaborating with others, tracking progress, managing time, and writing up the research findings. It stresses that clinical research should contribute new knowledge and offer original insights.
Hang in there! You are somebody’s hope. There is a rumor mulling around in colleges across the land that science, technology, engineering, and math are the “hardcore” fields that some advance, others try, and many avoid. Women and minorities are grossly underrepresented in STEM careers and the numbers continue to decline. In a 2010 Bayer Corp. survey of 1,226 women and underrepresented minority chemists and chemical engineers, 40 percent said they were discouraged from pursuing a STEM career. Sixty percent said college was where most of the discouragement happened. STEM careers offer a rewarding journey of innovation and powerful contributions, solutions, and tools that secure and advance our future. So, what do you need to do to overcome challenges and succeed in these fields?
At the end of this workshop, college students will:
a. Explore STEM Stats and common reasons students get discouraged.
b. Create a resource toolbox and networking plan to overcome challenges.
c. Explore 7 key habits that can increase success.
d. Examine the benefits and options of a great STEM Career Path.
The document discusses biological research challenges, the student-supervisor relationship, and the process of publishing research. It notes that biological research is becoming more collaborative, multi-disciplinary, and data-driven. A key to success is developing research skills and the ability to integrate knowledge across areas. The relationship between students and supervisors should be collaborative, with clear expectations and responsibilities set for progress monitoring, guidance, and addressing issues. Publishing research is important for impact. Authors should choose reputable journals and write clearly and concisely, following publication guidelines and ethics. The peer review process often initially rejects manuscripts, so authors should consider reviewer feedback to improve their work prior to resubmission.
This document provides guidance on developing a successful grant proposal. It emphasizes that proposals must clearly address the specific requirements and guidelines of the funding opportunity. The most important sections are the problem statement, goals and objectives, methodology, and evaluation plan. The problem statement must make a compelling case for why the proposed project is important and needed. The goals and objectives should flow logically from the problem statement and define what will be accomplished. The methodology must provide detailed steps for how the project will be implemented. The evaluation plan should specify how the achievement of objectives will be measured. Following all guidelines, using clear and simple language, and paying close attention to reviewers' needs are keys to developing a fundable proposal.
The document discusses identifying and formulating a research problem. It begins by defining a research problem and outlining the key steps, which include identifying a broad research area, reviewing literature, delimiting the topic, evaluating feasibility, and developing a clear statement of the research question or problem. Several potential sources of research problems are described, such as personal experiences, literature, theories, and consulting with experts. Criteria for a good research problem include significance, originality, feasibility considering time, costs, and ethics. The summary concludes by emphasizing that a well-formulated research problem is clearly and precisely stated with measurable variables and defined population and setting.
This document provides an overview of action research. It describes action research as a method for professionals to improve their own practice and contribute to public knowledge about their field. Action research requires systematic inquiry, action, validation of results. It positions the researcher as central to the process as they are committed to improving a meaningful purpose. While challenging, action research offers opportunities for the researcher to improve their work and contribute new knowledge through an iterative process.

The document provides information about MD-PhD programs, including what an MD-PhD degree entails, the pros and cons of pursuing one, and how to apply. An MD-PhD combines medical school and a PhD program, typically taking 8 years or more to complete. Graduates often work in academic medicine, conducting translational research. Upsides include training for careers at the intersection of research and medicine, but it is a long commitment with transitions between clinical and research phases. Strong research experience is important for competitive applications.
The National Science Foundation’s Graduate Research Fellowship Program (https://www.nsfgrfp.org) offers fellowships to new and incoming graduate students in the sciences. The award is very prestigious and rather competitive. However, if you are eligible (see the solicitation) it is completely worth it to apply.
This introduction to the NSF-GRFP will teach you more about the fellowship, help you decide when to apply, and give you tips on crafting a winning application.
This document provides guidelines for a journal club organized by the Department of Anesthesiology. It discusses the history and purpose of journal clubs, which are educational meetings where researchers critically evaluate and discuss new research publications. The document outlines the steps for journal club presentations, including choosing an article, evaluating it, and delivering a presentation within 60 minutes followed by 15 minutes of discussion. Presenters are advised to select original research from reputable journals and evaluate the study design, results, and conclusions. The presentation should summarize the article and provide the presenter's own analysis and critique to facilitate discussion.
This document provides advice for graduate students on managing their time, expectations, and research during their PhD/postdoc. It emphasizes focusing on publishing papers, communicating research, getting help from others, being flexible, and viewing criticism as an opportunity to improve.

How to Craft the "Significance” & "Innovation" - 2023UCLA CTSI
This document provides guidance on key sections of an NIH R01 grant application, including Significance, Innovation, and review criteria. It discusses that Significance refers to how the project will advance scientific knowledge or improve clinical practice if successful, not just the importance of the disease topic. Reviewers evaluate the rigor of prior research supporting the project and the applicant's plans to address weaknesses. Innovation can involve novel concepts, approaches, technologies, or new applications of existing methods. The simplified NIH review framework focuses on whether the proposed research should be conducted based on Significance and Approach.

How to Anticipate and Plan for an R Grant Application. (2022)UCLA CTSI
Carol Mangione provides strategies for early career researchers to successfully transition from a K award to an R01 grant. She emphasizes building relationships at NIH, identifying the best fitting funding opportunities, and making the most of preliminary K award research. Researchers should publish findings, present at conferences, and collaborate with senior scientists. When preparing an R01 application, researchers should clearly outline the proposed project based on significant preliminary findings and check that the research aims have not already been funded.
