Mentorship Skills Matter: Researchers are mentored at all stages of their career, with mentors providing key support and guidance for the successful professional and ethical development of their mentees. Anyone who has experienced a great or not-so-great mentor knows how important a mentor’s guidance can be. If you’re a faculty member at OUHSC and have never had formal mentorship training or if you’d like to improve your mentoring skills no matter your career level, consider signing up for free mentor workshops this fall provided by the OUHSC Oklahoma Center for Mentoring Excellence – see flyer attached (OCME Mentor Flyer 2023-2024).

2023 OSCTR Pilot Grants Program

Description: The Oklahoma Clinical and Translational Science Institute (OCTSI) and Oklahoma Shared Clinical and Translational Resources (OSCTR) is soliciting applications for its Clinical and Translational Research Pilot (CTRP) Grants Program. The purpose of the program is to provide funding for clinical and translational pilot projects from investigators of the OSCTR member institutions and preference is given to investigators who qualify as NIH New or Early Stage Investigators, or to investigators who are transitioning to clinical and translational research. The program seeks to support proposals designed to generate preliminary data that will result in improved health and/or health outcomes for citizens of Oklahoma and other IDeA states and enhance the competitiveness of the investigator for future extramural funding. The program also seeks to fund innovative concepts, approaches, and methodologies that bring fresh new ideas to solving the health issues of those living in Oklahoma and collaborating IDeA states. Projects that focus on the medically underserved and on health concerns prevalent within Oklahoma and our OSCTR partners will be a priority. Only projects which meet the NIH definition of clinical and/or translational research will be accepted.
The forms, instructions, and submission link can be found at:  http://osctr.ouhsc.edu/pilots2023. Deadline: Friday, September 15, 2023 at 5:00 PM CDT.
