REMINDER:
THE DEADLINE FOR NOMINATIONS FOR 2003 FACULTY RESEARCH
AWARDS
The
deadline for nominations has been extended to February
12, 2003.
Each year the College of Medicine Faculty Council presents
awards to two faculty members for outstanding achievement,
productivity, and research discovery. Awards are given
in two categories: Basic Science Research and Clinical
Science Research.
The
CLINICAL RESEARCH AWARD will be given for research having
a close connection with clinical medicine and/or having
a significant impact on the delivery of patient care.
The
BASIC SCIENCE RESEARCH AWARD will be given for research
contributing to our understanding of the fundamental underlying
principals of biology and medicine.
The
designation of basic science research versus clinical
research is based on the nature of the research itself
and not on the department in which the candidate holds
primary appointment. A faculty member's research is evaluated
on its own merit, regardless of the type of department
(clinical or basic), which is supporting that individual
and his/her research.
All
nominees must have been engaged in sustained research
at the University of Florida, on either the Gainesville
and/or the Jacksonville campuses for at least five years.
Under
the rules governing the Faculty Research Awards, and faculty
member can nominate another faculty member for one of
the awards. Nominations should be forwarded no
later than 5:00 p.m. February 7, 2003 to the
office for Research Affairs (Sandra Smith, PO Box 100215;
Rm. M-134; Fax# 392-7427; email snsmith@dean.med.ufl.edu).
A complete nomination package should include:
1.
The letter of nomination;
2. The candidate's CV;
3. The names and addresses of three potential supporters
who are knowledgeable about the faculty member's research
and who are not on the faculty at the University of Florida.
The faculty member making the nomination should not personally
request the letters of reference, but merely submit the
list of potential references to the Office for Research
Affairs.
After
the initial screening of the nominee to determine eligibility,
the Research Award Selection Committees (one for the basic
sciences and one for the clinical sciences) will request
supporting letters of reference. The Faculty Research
Award Committees will each be comprised of three basic
scientists and three clinical researchers nominated by
the Faculty Council and appointed by the Dean. The Committees
have final say regarding the awardees for 2003.
Winners
of the two Research Awards will be ineligible for reconsideration
for a period of five years.

PA FOOTE CALL FOR
PROPOSALS
The
Perry A. Foote Program in Health Outcomes and Pharmacoeconomics
seeks proposals from University of Florida faculty, post-doctoral
fellows, and graduate students for small grants to support
the development of new research projects.
The
purpose of the Program is to support the development of
research at the University of Florida and SHANDS HealthCare
in Health Outcomes and Pharmacoeconomics. The Program
seeks to accomplish this goal by supporting the development
of proposals likely to attract outside funding in the
future.
For
the purposes of this call for proposals, "health
outcomes " are defined as the end result of the provision
of health services to patients and their families, and
include a broad range of phenomena, from morbidity and
death, to health status and functional status, to patient
satisfaction and health related quality of life. "Pharmacoeconomics"
takes a comparative approach to outcomes and costs of
drug therapy, taking into consideration description and
analysis of costs of drug therapy and its sequels. Common
methods used are cost-minimization, cost-benefit, cost-effectiveness
and cost- utility analysis.
Eligibility
All faculty, staff and graduate students in the Colleges
of Medicine, Dentistry, Nursing, Pharmacy, Health Professions
and Shands Health System are eligible for the grants program.
Other personnel can be included on an application, but
the principal investigator with overall responsibility
for the project must be a clinician, faculty member, graduate
student, or post-doctoral fellow.

INTERNAL
DEADLINES

Certain
agencies announce Requests for Applications that limit the
number of proposals that can be submitted by the University.
In these instances, the Office for Research Affairs will
post an internal deadline for interested faculty to submit
a Letter of Intent to the Office for Research Affairs.
If
there are more applicants interested in submitting a proposal
than the agency's guidelines allow for, an internal review
process will be coordinated by ORA. ORA will only coordinate
the requests that are specifically for health related projects.
RGP will coordinate all other requests. There is not always
a candidate who applies for an award. If you are interested
in a funding opportunity and the internal deadline has passed,
check with ORA to see if this opportunity is still available.
