Dear College of Medicine Faculty,

In our continuing effort to keep the College of Medicine informed about the 2014 National Conference on Undergraduate Research http://www.cur.org/ncur_2014/, which will take place here at UK on April 3 – 5, please note the following ways to encourage student participation:

NIH PIs are reminded that compliance with the NIH Public Access Policy is applicable to all awards with start dates July 1, 2013, or later.  More information can be found at this link, http://publicaccess.nih.gov/.  Also available is a PowerPoint presentation as prepared by Dr. Tom Kelly,  Associate Dean for Research, College of Nursing, and Professor, Dept. of Behavioral Science.  

With the Markey Cancer Center receiving NCI designation and the growth of the NIH-sponsored Kentucky Center for Clinical and Translational Science, research is thriving on our campus. Similarly the MD/PhD program continues to excel - we are receiving an all-time high number of applicants and our students are publishing and receiving awards in record numbers. At a time when funding across the nation is down, it is reassuring that the quality of research opportunities at UK is better than ever.
