Recent attention on the inability to reproduce scientific research findings reported in peer-reviewed journals has led the leadership of NIH to review its application requirements.  This review has led to a proposed set of changes to the application instructions that, upon approval by the White House Office of Management and Budget, will take effect for applications submitted on or after January 25, 2016.

 The new instructions will focus on four areas deemed important for enhancing rigor and transparency:

On June 3, 2015, the 2^nd Annual Department of Radiology Quality & Safety Forum was held in the Pavilion A Lobby. The Forum featured seven Quality Improvement poster projects from the Department of Radiology. With the help of UKHC OVIHD, all of the posters used the 8-step problem solving process. 

The Office of Dr. Bernard Boulanger provided snacks and refreshments for attendees.

The Appalachian Translational Research Network (ATRN) is committed to addressing the significant health challenges and disparities specific to Appalachia by enhancing research collaborations to speed the translation of scientific discoveries to health improvements for this region. Initial members consist of University of Kentucky and its partner, Marshall University, The Ohio State University, University of Cincinnati, Ohio University, and West Virginia University.
