This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

How to Anticipate and Plan for an R Grant Application by Carol Mangione, MD, MSPH
1. Carol M. Mangione, MD, MSPH
Barbara A. Levy and Gerald S. Levey Professor of Medicine and Public Health
Associate Director, UCLA CTSI
David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, UCLA Fielding School of Public Health
How to anticipate and plan for an R grant
application
2. Outline
• Strategies for making the most of the research you
conduct during the K award
• The importance of relationship building at the NIH
• Keep an eye out for the FOAs and RFAs that are the
best fit for your work
• Next Generation Researchers Initiative
• Getting Organized:
– Your results
– Your team
– Your timeline
3. Making the most of the K research
• Early on, try to identify at least one research
question and testable hypothesis that is
important regardless of the direction or
significance of your findings.
• If you can link the K research to the first R grant
this will help you have strong preliminary studies
and it will be easier to defend why the work
proposed in the R is the most important and
logical next step and why you are the best PI to
do this work
4. Making the most of the K research
• Get out front with your research findings so that
you start to develop a name and identity in your
field
– Present your work at the most important meetings
– Take advantage of opportunities to participate in NIH
conferences and other symposia in your field
– Get to know the most prominent scientists in your
field so that you can get their input on your work
– Publish… try not to get scooped!
– Time is your most precious commodity, don’t waste it
on low yield activities – If you are not sure which ones
fall in this category, talk to your mentor
5. Be aware of who else is working in
your area of research!
• Literature search
- Pubmed: what has been published
- Google scholar (may pick up abstracts
presented at meetings)
• NIH reporter (grants that have been funded
already)
- http://projectreporter.nih.gov/reporter.cfm
6. Making the most of the K research
• Look for opportunities to be independent of your
mentor
– In some fields this is accomplished by working and
publishing with more than one senior researcher
– Or, you may have the opportunity to “PI” a smaller
foundation grant in your field that is related to or is an
extension of your main work
– Early on, talk to your mentor about what you should
do now or in the next couple of years so that when
the first R goes in with you as PI there will not be
questions about your independence.
7. Relationship Building at the NIH
• Establish relationships with the program officers
at the institute(s) in your research area
• Know the institute’s priority areas in your field
• Each Institute handles grants in slightly different
ways
• 2 parts:
– Program- Includes the Institutes that set the research
priorities – get to know your institute’s priorities!
– Review - CSR or Center for Scientific Review
• Evaluates the scientific merits of the proposals
• http://www.csr.nih.gov
8. Sign up for the NIH GUIDE ListServe
http://grants1.nih.gov/grants/guide/listserv.htm
once a week receive a Table of
Contents with ‘links’ to PAs,

• Mentors and colleagues
• NIH staff
10. NIH Program staff

questions
Manages grant
portfolios
Develops RFAs and PAs
Observers at study
section meetings

issues
Sends out summary
statements
Initiates funding plans
Reviews yearly progress
reports
11. Governmental Alphabet Soup
• NIH - National Institutes of Health
• AHRQ - Agency for Healthcare Research and
Quality
• PCORI – Patient Centered Outcomes Research
Institute
• RFA - Request for application
• RFP - Request for proposals
• PA - Program announcement
• FOA – Funding opportunity announcement
12. Funding the transition from K to R
• Look for funding announcements, preferably RFAs
or FOAs that have specific dollars allocated to
your area
• What if there aren’t any or what if the pay lines
are unrealistically low?
– Consider foundations, professional organizations,
industry, or institutional grants to tide you over
– Awards from these sources can keep you working,
publishing, and staying active in the field and can
strengthen your portfolio while you try to identify the
best opportunity at NIH
13. % Effort and Support for K Awardees
• Commit minimum 75% full-time professional
effort.
• Remaining effort (up to 25%) to additional
research, teaching, clinical work, or other efforts
complementary to career development of the K
awardee.
• Institutions normally supplement the salary of K
award PIs up to a level that is consistent with the
institution’s salary scale.
https://nexus.od.nih.gov/all/2017/10/11/clarifying-percent-effort-and-support-for-career-
development-k-awardees/
14. Salary Supplementation (NOT-OD-17-094)
• Effort directly committed to the K award - must be
from non-Federal sources (including institutional
sources) and not require extra duties that would
interfere with the goals of the K award.
• Effort not directly committed to the K award,
recipients may devote effort, with compensation,
on Federal or non-Federal sources as PD/PI or in
another role (e.g., co-I), as long the specific aims
of the other supporting grant(s) differ from those
of the K award.
https://nexus.od.nih.gov/all/2017/10/11/clarifying-percent-effort-and-support-for-career-
development-k-awardees/
16. K to R % Effort (NOT-OD-08-065)
• During the last two years of a mentored career
development award (K01, K07, K08, K22, K23, K25,
KL2), NIH will permit you to receive concurrent salary
support from any peer-reviewed grant from any
federal agency, if you meet the following criteria:
– You are a PI on a competing research project grant,
or director of a sub-project on a multi-component
grant, from NIH or another Federal agency.
– Your K award is active when the R, P or U grant is
submitted
– Under those circumstances, you may reduce your K
award's time and effort to 50%.
18. Common R Grant Types
R01 NIH Research Project Grant Program (parent FOA: PA-16-160)
• Used to support a discrete, specified, circumscribed research project
• NIH's most commonly used grant program

Other R grants: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/funding_program.htm#RSeries
19. New Investigators
Definition: A PD/PI is identified as a New
Investigator if he/she has not previously
competed successfully for an NIH-
supported research project other than early
stage or small research grants (R03, R21) or for
training, infrastructure, and career awards (F, T,
K).
20. Early Stage Investigators (ESI)
• ESIs are New Investigators who are:
– Within 10 years of completing terminal research degree.
– Within 10 years of completing residency (or equivalent.
– Extension: injury, parental leave (NOT-OD-09-034)
• Breaks for ESIs
– Separate payline 5-10 points higher
– Fund all years requested
– Expedited review for revision if within 5-10% of payline
(NOT-OD-06-013)
– First competitive renewal: 5 points higher
• Applies to R01 applications only
21. NIH Next Generation Researchers Initiative
The NIH will:
• Commit substantial funds from NIH’s base budget, beginning in 2017 with
about $210 million, and ramping to approximately $1.1 billion per year
after five years (pending availability of funds) to support additional
meritorious early-stage investigators and mid-career investigators
• Create a central inventory and track the impact of NIH institute and
center funding decisions for early- and mid-career investigators with
fundable scores to ensure this new strategy is effectively implemented in
all areas of research
• Place greater emphasis on current NIH funding mechanisms aimed at
early- and mid-career investigators
• Aim to fund most early-career investigators with R01 equivalent
applications that score in the top 25th percentile
• Encourage multiple approaches to develop and test metrics that can be
used to evaluate the effectiveness of our research portfolio, and assess
the impact of NIH grant support on scientific progress, to ensure the best
return on investment

22. NIH Next Generation Researchers Initiative
Applications will receive special consideration if you are:
• an early-stage investigator (within 10 years of completing your
terminal research degree or medical residency and have not
previously received a substantial independent NIH research
award) and receive a score in the top 25th percentile (or an
impact score of 35 if the application is not percentiled)
• a mid-career investigator (within 10 years of receiving your first
NIH R01 equivalent award) who scores in the 25th percentile,
and either:
– are at risk of losing all support, or,
– are a particularly promising investigator currently supported
by a single ongoing award (i.e, NIH will prioritize funding an
additional concurrent research project grant award)

23. First steps in R proposal preparation
• Take a hard look at what you have published and try
to build the R around your most significant research
findings – this may or may not be your K funded
research
• Decide where will it go and/or who your audience is
• Check NIH Reporter to make sure that the study isn’t
already underway
• Requires several months of reading, organizing,
writing, and revising

25. First steps in proposal preparation
• EARLY ON talk to the scientific administrator!
• Follow the written guidelines from the funder carefully
– Outline of the structure
– Page limits
– Font sizes
– Funding limits
– Elements that must be included
– Priority areas
26. Get Organized
• Work from an outline
• Establish a timeline for completing the proposal - make
time to work on this
• Have the project team meet periodically
• Give assignments with deadlines
• Make deadlines for yourself
• Find a model proposal
– recently funded by the same agency
– look over the reviews if you can get a hold of them
• REVIEW, PRETEST, REVISE RETEATABLY
27. Are You On the Fence About Whether to Resubmit?
28. Summary
• Things won’t go as smoothly as this talk
sounds
• Be flexible, take advantage of unexpected
opportunities when they come your way
• Be very protective of your time
• The drought at NIH seems to be slowly
improving, so be strategic, keep doing the
research you love and you will be in the
strongest position to compete when the time
is right to submit an R
