K Award Writing Group

Next Meetings
September 7th & 21st, 2022 ~ 4:00-5:00 PM ~ Virtual, Zoom

The K Award Writing Group supports junior faculty in the development of K-level “Mentored Research Scientist Career Development Award” applications. According to NIH, the award is intended to provide either progressive training or further experience in research related to biomedical, behavioral, or clinical sciences. The mentored approach provides the knowledge required for the K-Awardee to progress into an independent researcher over the award period.

K Award Group meets bi-weekly on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month from 4-5 pm via Zoom. Attendance at K Award Group meetings can be for information purposes and/or for review of your application. The group meets to outline the K-Award writing process and to review material being submitted by/to the group for input. To register to attend the K Award Group, please email Robyn.Leonard@umassmed.edu.

Elaine Marieb Center for Nursing & Engineering Innovation

First Annual Symposium

A daylong Symposium will be held on the UMass Amherst campus; topics will include the Center’s accomplishments thus far, highlighting center-supported seed grant projects.

A keynote speaker from Massachusetts government will address the Symposium and there will be panels from industry and academia with nurses and engineers engaged in collaborative innovation (much like Jeannine Blake, PhD, RN and UMass engineering student Braedon Feddersen '23 reviewing the new IV smart pump in the photo above).

A luncheon will be provided, during which there will be time to review posters from the community.

Space is limited, so register here: Elaine Marieb Center, save the date on your calendars (the Symposium should run from around 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.), and get ready to discover new healthcare frontiers!
