As many federal agencies continue to enhance requirements and guidelines for the disclosure of international activities,  Rutgers has prepared a summary of leading practices to ensure successful collaborations with international partners. The International Collaboration in Research and Other Activities summary is available online and is updated as new information becomes available.

The New Jersey Alliance for Clinical and Translational Science (NJACTS) aims to bring research from academic communities of Rutgers, Princeton, and NJIT together, to present the best new clinical and translational research, and build collaborative partnerships. NJACTS will hold its first Translational Medicine and Scientific Symposium on September 22 and 23. The two-day conference will feature sessions on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Clinical Science after the Pandemic, and much more!

The New Jersey branch of the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science (AALAS) recently awarded five members of our Animal Care Team for their excellence. AALAS is an association of professionals dedicated to the humane care and treatment of laboratory animals, as well as the quality research that leads to scientific gains that benefit people and animals. Rutgers Research applauds the following colleagues:

The Whitehall Foundation, through its grant programs, assists scholarly research in the life sciences. The Foundation is currently interested in basic research in neurobiology, defined as follows: Invertebrate and vertebrate (excluding clinical) neurobiology, specifically investigations of neural mechanisms involved in sensory, motor, and other complex functions of the whole organism as these relate to behavior. The overall goal should be to better understand behavioral output or brain mechanisms of behavior. The Foundation emphasizes the support of young scientists at the beginning of their careers and productive senior scientists who wish to move into new fields of interest. Research grants range from $30,000 to $75,000 per year. Letters of Intent are due by October 1. 

The W. M. Keck Foundation seeks to fund breakthrough technologies, instrumentation, or methodologies focusing on emerging areas of research. They specifically seek projects which demonstrate a high level of risk due to an unconventional approach or by challenging the prevailing paradigm. They are looking for projects with the potential for transformative impacts, such as a new field of research, the enabling of observations not previously possible, or the altered perception of a previously intractable problem. Rutgers is limited to submitting one medical research and one science and engineering research application per cycle. Faculty interested in applying must submit a one-page concept paper as described on the Keck website to the InfoReady competition portal. Internal applications are due by October 22. 

Rutgers Office for Research – Innovation Ventures and New Brunswick Libraries are proud to host a series of free webinars ranging from understanding the basics of patent processes to filing for a patent and searching for prior art. The first of four sessions begins on September 27 at 4:00 p.m. Webinars are presented by patent experts from the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

Hosted by the New Jersey Academic Drug Discovery Consortium, the Translational Neuroscience Event will feature two panel sessions to discuss "Advances in the Treatment of Alzheimer's Disease" and "CNS Models and Biomarkers." The panel sessions will run from 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, October 13.
