Identifying upcoming seminars, workshops, funding announcements, events, and conferences of interest to VTPP. I hope it serves as an accessible archive and reference for upcoming research events and deadlines, and sources of information to support our next generation of high impact discoveries.
VTPP Science Friday conversations continue to be stimulating and helping develop more interactions. All faculty are encouraged to attend these important VTPP research- and mission-focused discussions. The first 2022 Science Friday discussions are scheduled via Zoom for Thursday 8:30AM, March 10 and March 24. Faculty are encouraged to step up and initiate similar interactions and discussions. If you have specific interests in leading any Science Friday discussion/topic or have specific aims to outline or develop, just let Dr. Suva know and come present and stimulate the conversation.

Please check out the attached Post Approval Monitoring (PAM) Pipeline from the Animal Welfare Office. PAM Pipeline is intended to provide animal compliance resources and tools as well as disseminate IACUC and regulatory updates to the TAMU community. conducted by Animal Welfare Office staff members who visit your research space to provide services, outreach and education. The PAM program was instituted to assist the IACUC in fulfilling its regulatory obligation to perform continuing oversight of IACUC-approved animal activities.
I have recently identified some interesting information regarding NIH awards and award rates from fiscal year 2020. The data are presented as total number of grants reviewed (blue) and the number awarded (orange). The data does not capture total number of grants submitted, which will of course change the awarded percentage. The number of grants reviewed excludes the 50-60% of submitted grants that are not discussed at study section. That said, the data provide some insight into funding options across the Institutes we regularly submit to. The entire Excel file that was downloaded from the NIH is attached to the VTPP Success. I look forward to more discussions.
