DIANE LANGEMO, CHUCK WOOD NAMED CHESTER FRITZ DISTINGUISHED PROFESSORS
At General Commencement May 9, UND awarded two faculty members, Diane Langemo and Charles Wood, the Chester Fritz Distinguished Professors Award, UND's highest honor for faculty.
Diane Langemo has earned an international reputation for her research on pressure ulcers and has attracted significant private funding for her work. In the 1990s, Langemo authored or co-authored more than 30 papers in peer-reviewed journals. Research is just one facet of her contributions to the College of Nursing. Langemo has been a major contributor to the College's graduate program since its inception in the mid-1980s. Her strengths in teachings and advising are demonstrated by the fact that in that time she has directed the theses of 54 master's degree students, often accommodating students by directing their work even when it was not in her area. Dr. Langemo contributes to her profession locally, nationally, and internationally. She consults on different projects across the United States and serves on the editorial board of four journals in her research area, reflecting excellent service and recognition by peers of her expertise. Her research has been especially strong in recent years, as evidenced by many publications and invitations for consulting.
Charles Wood came to UND at a time when a new program was on the verge of extinction. Under his leadership, the master's degree program in space studies has achieved national and international prominence. While this growth in stature has been linked to the program's innovative delivery system, it is equally important to note that this delivery system, the Internet, enables the program to reach the select audience for which it has a very strong appeal. A world-renowned volcanologist, Dr. Wood came to UND from NASA, where he personally knew every astronaut for a 15- to 20-year period, including the 1980s. In spite of the extensive work involved in developing the master's degree program in space studies, he has continued to be an active researcher, publishing work in the major journals of his field. He is widely admired for his strong contributions to the University in all areas of teaching, research and service. He also develops activities in astronomy for K-12 audience throughout the state and supports the "Brainy Bunch" program.

PRESIDENT BAKER THANKS U COMMUNITY
In his commencement remarks May 9, President Kendall Baker took time to givfe special thanks to the University community for their support and service. Following is an excerpt from that portion of his talk:
First, I want to thank my colleagues on the faculty. You are the greatest. You are at the absolute core of everything we do on this campus and there have been so many times when I have been so proud of you. You have adapted well to the momentous changes that have occurred since 1992, and you have maintained your optimism, commitment, loyalty, fundamental good will, and belief in the importance of higher education and what we do at UND in the face of new demands, pressures and, sometimes unhelpful criticisms and unfortunate statements. I shall never forget you and I shall forever treasure the honor that was paid to me last fall when one of your members, a Chester Fritz Distinguished Professor at that, addressed me as Professor Baker when asking me a question after a presentation I made on last fall's election in Germany. To me, it was the highest compliment, because I have always regarded myself as a faculty member first and foremost.
Secondly, I want to thank the many students I have been privileged to know and work with during my years at UND. If there are better students anywhere in this country, I certainly don't know where they are. You have been a constant source of ideas, support, energy, clarity, resourcefulness and friendship. I have beamed as only a proud parent can beam as I have watched you make presentations, argue your cases, or seek resources with enormous maturity and professionalism. You are why this institution exists and your willingness to work with me, to always meet me half way, has been a joy. Together we have accomplished great things, but, most importantly, together we have contributed to the legacy and traditions of this great institution. I shall forever take the greatest of pride in having been the "Students' President" and I can assure you that words cannot adequately express the honor and humility I feel whenever I am referred to in this way.
Thirdly, I want to thank the magnificent staff of this fine institution for the many contributions they make, every day, to the operation, success, and environment of UND. When our storms come in the winter time, the dedicated drivers of our ploughs and loaders and trucks clear snow almost without breaks. Day after day, our food service and building service workers in our residence halls play an extremely important role in facilitating a successful college experience for our students. And, what about our secretaries, technicians, catering workers, crafts people, plumbers, painters, electricians, recruiters, records keepers, office managers and business personnel. And, what about the deans of our colleges and schools, the directors of our divisions and the chairs of our departments? Think of all that they do for all of us every day. We are privileged at UND to have the most beautiful, best maintained, and, by many standards, most responsive campus around and that is because of the absolutely superb support staff we have. Toby and I have thoroughly enjoyed the many opportunities we've had to work with them and we will miss their wonderful spirit and special loyalty.
Fourthly, let me thank the alumni and friends of UND across North Dakota and around the country. You have served as guest lecturers in our classes, as sources for new program ideas, promising opportunities, and better ways of doing things at UND, as recruiters for our athletic teams and academic programs, as facilitators of conversations and contacts with important governmental and political officials at the state, local and federal levels, and as generous supporters of the scholarship programs that enable us to attract the most talented students in our state and beyond. You have greeted me and Toby with great warmth and graciousness wherever we have met you. UND will be forever in your debt and Toby and I will be forever grateful for the many many expressions of support and encouragement that you have sent us from literally all over the world. We shall be delighted to count ourselves as one of you, that is as an alum and a friend of UND.
We also want to thank our many friends in the community of Grand Forks. You have made us feel welcome and supported from the moment we arrived more than seven years ago. You have invited us into your homes, introduced us to your friends and relatives, and, in general, done everything you could to help us understand North Dakota and Grand Forks culture, history and traditions. We shall leave this splendid community with many fond memories and lots of deep and wonderfully supportive friendships.
Next, and almost finally, I want to thank my fabulous co-workers at the University. Al (Hoffarth, Operations), dear Gordon (Henry, Student Affairs), Lyle (Beiswenger, Finance) worked with me as they had with Tom Clifford before me and I want to thank them for their many years of very dedicated service to UND. Lorna (Jacobson) and Tara (Nelson) also figured out the peculiarities of their new boss and provided absolutely superb support for the many projects we undertook. Marlene (Strathe) joined us for a while from Northern Iowa and I want to thank her for her contributions as Vice president for Academic Affairs and Provost and wish her great success in her new role as Chief Academic Officer at the University of Northern Colorado.
But then came 1997 and a series of unforeseen events that resulted in an almost complete turnover in my group of principal advisors. Those that emerged to accept the responsibilities that had been vacated have become, I am very pleased to tell you, the very best group of colleagues I have ever been privileged to work with. They have worked superbly together; they have taken on the issues that needed to be addressed: they have been enormously creative, very persistent, and always caring; and they have been unbowed by adversity, instability and lack of resources. In short, they have been brilliant and an enormous joy with which to work. As a consequence of their effort, I am pleased to tell you that I am leaving an institution that is financially strong, poised for an increase in its enrollment, able to provide support for new program initiatives, about to embark on a building program in the University Village valued at close to $60 million, and able to provide a salary increase for faculty that will finally enable us to make some significant progress with our woefully inadequate faculty salaries. So Peggy (Lucke), John (Ettling), Alice (Brekke), Bob (Boyd) and Pat (Bohnet): We are an enormously grateful for the untiring, highly dedicated and unbelievably productive and creative leadership you have provided this institution in the past 18 months. You have insisted on integrity, performance, quality, the complete sharing of information, and what is good for the entire University in everything you have done. And, the result has been respect, renewal, and rebuilding.
But, let me add a special word about one member of this team, my friend, confidant, colleague, collaborator, and alter ego, Dave Vorland. You were there at the beginning and you brought Marietta (Kvistad) to our team. You were there in the good times and the bad times, unwavering in your loyalty, support, creativity, energy, optimism, conviction and friendship. I am more grateful than I can express and more indebted than I know.
And, finally, let me thank the person who is the most important in all the world to me, my beloved life long partner, Toby Baker. I will not embarrass you by telling you all the things I really feel. I think you know them anyway. But, I want you to know that without you, nothing would have been or would be possible. You have supported me, counseled me, advised me, endured with me, cried with me, and perhaps most importantly, put up with me in ways it is impossible to describe. You have been present, your hand in mine, at every triumph and every defeat. You have smiled and laughed and emphasized the good and the positive in everything and along the way, you have brightened countless rooms and established yourself as a person who is greatly admired and respected on this campus and in this community. I am enormously proud and deeply honored to be a member of TEAM BAKER and I look forward, with great anticipation, to our next adventure together.

JAMES VIVIAN INVITED TO TESTIFY TO CONGRESS
Should the President of the United States receive a raise? The U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Government Reform is considering just that and has invited a UND faculty member to testify about the issue.
James Vivian (History) literally wrote the book about presidential compensation. His "The President's Salary: A Study in Constitutional Declension, 1789-1990," published in 1993, is the definitive work on the history of the president's salary, which has only been increased five times in the past 210 years.
Vivian has been invited by the chair of the Subcommittee on Government Management, Information, and Technology, Congressman Stephen Horn, Calif., to testify at its May 24 hearing "to examine whether the salary of the President of the United States should be changed."
According to Vivian, Congress has wrestled with the salary of the president from the beginning. Many of the first congressional leaders were against a salary for the president, but Alexander Hamilton argued that the president should be paid. Vivian says Hamilton "won the battle but lost the war" when Congress authorized a salary for Washington of only $25,000 per year.
The salary remained the same for the next 75 years -- or, as it happened, the next 17 presidents -- until it was doubled for Gen. Ulysses S. Grant (the 18th President). The salary remained at $50,000 until the Theodore Roosevelt administration, when Congress increased the salary to $75,000 just in time for William Howard Taft to take office. At mid-century, the salary increased to $100,000 and remained at the level until just before President Richard M. Nixon took office for his first term, when the salary was doubled to $200,000.

CONSTRUCTION WILL ALTER TRAFFIC PATTERNS
North Med School Parking Lot, Front Loop Closed
The north parking lot of the School of Medicine and Health Sciences, as well as the loop on the Columbia Road side of the building, are closed until further notice so work can begin on the new Biomedical Research Facility. A new west lot is expected to be completed by the middle of July.
Steam Heat Line Project News
* Upson lot and the parking lot south of the Core and Sample Library will remain CLOSED until further notice. The Upson lot MAY open as early as June 1.
* Centennial Drive Will Be CLOSED From O'Kelly Hall to the Steam Heat Plant as soon as the pipe is received. This section of Centennial Drive was to have been closed starting May 17, but it has remained open for the time being. It will probably be closed starting some time the middle of next week; when it does, Centennial Drive from University Avenue to O'Kelly Hall will become a two-way street.
* The western portion of Centennial Drive has become a two-way street, so watch for traffic. HOWEVER, Centennial Drive from Montgomery Hall to University Avenue will be CLOSED near the end of May for a period of time while Old Science Hall is torn down and the debris is removed. Only trucks will be allowed to access this stretch of road at that time.
* Work on the lines to the east should begin some time between now and Monday. Starting the week of May 24, Campus Road from Cornell Drive to Centennial Drive will be CLOSED and will remain closed until July 28.
* Throughout the summer, the steam heat lines construction areas will be entirely fenced off.
* Anyone with special needs should contact the Traffic/Police Department at 7-3551 or 7-3491 for assistance.
* The Blue S parking zones on the east side of the Coulee will become General Zones so all permit holders can use them.
*******
CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS DETAILED
Following is an update on the progress of construction on campus:
* The Abbott to McCannel walkway is getting closer to completion; it should open in July.
* A Grand Forks architectural firm, Johnson and Laffen, has been hired to design the new Barnes & Noble Bookstore. The construction of the building will begin in early fall 1999 and be completed in mid-May, 2000. The plan is to move the existing Bookstore from the Memorial Union to the new building after graduation in May. This will allow Barnes & Noble time to have everything ready by the fall semester. There are plans to have a mini store in some of the existing Memorial Union Bookstore space, but details still need to be worked out.
* Squires Hall will receive a new laundry room with 10 washers and dryers; construction is in progress. This is in a series of projects to add new laundry rooms to more residence halls. The West Complex halls have already received new laundry rooms and they are a big hit with the students.
* The Biomedical Research Facility will be located on the northwest corner of the existing Medical School and Health Sciences building. This $6 million project will add 21,000 square feet of space. The structure will house laboratories and space for animals, mostly small rodents, used in investigations by scientists studying cardiovascular and kidney disease, cancer, diabetes and diseases of metabolism, and other health concerns. This facility will greatly enhance the school's ability to recruit qualified faculty members, many of whom require modern, up-to-date quarters in which to conduct their research. Construction will begin this month and is scheduled for completion in October 2000.
* The entire campus will receive a new steam line to replace the existing steam line damaged during the flood. Construction has started on the first of two project phases. Phase One will consist of replacing the steam line for all buildings east of the English Coulee. Phase Two (next year) will consist of replacing the steam line for all buildings west of the English Coulee. The construction this year will involve about five miles of steam piping to be installed on the campus. This will create some changes in traffic flow, both for vehicles and pedestrians. However, we will try to minimize the problems. The existing steam line will remain in operation until the new one is installed (possibly October 1999). The conversion from old to new steam lines will create only minor effects within the buildings. To keep the public informed of the construction status, a recorded message with current information can be accessed by calling 777-6700, a web page has been set up, and weekly e-mail updates will be forthcoming. Some television coverage may also occur.
* The New Hockey Arena is in the design phase. The location of the building and construction start-up date has not yet been decided. More information will be forthcoming.
* The Medical School Family Practice Center will likely be located on the Bronson property, across Sixth Avenue north of the Medical School. Construction and completion of this building is being planned for the year 2000.
* Smith Hall Basement Flood Project: This space was previously occupied by the Smith Hall Dining Center and has been cleaned out. We are awaiting the restoration and design that will be completed by Foss Associates, Fargo. Construction is anticipated for the winter of 1999; more information will follow.
* The final stages of the Memorial Union basement restoration are under way. The Credit Union (currently located in Twamley Hall) and the Computer Center (currently located on the second floor of the Union) will utilize this space. Construction is scheduled for completion in July 1999.
* O'Kelly Hall drawings went out for bidding May 14. The proposed renovation project is 8,000 sq. ft. of space consisting of offices, labs, and classrooms.
* In Wilkerson Hall, plans are to finish the lower level convenience store, expand student services to students, and add counseling offices for students. The architect hopes to send the project out for bids within two weeks.

BAKERS RECEIVE NEW UND PROUD AWARD
The Annual Recognition Ceremony for Staff May 11 was highlighted with the presentation of a new award, the Ken and Toby Baker UND Proud Award, to a pair of surprised recipients, Ken and Toby Baker. It was presented by Peggy Lucke, Interim Vice President for Operations and Finance. Portions of Lucke's presentation follow:
"In his years here at the University of North Dakota, President Baker and his wife, Toby, have dedicated their lives to the University and the Grand Forks community. Through good times and not so good times, their commitment, loyalty and pride in this institution and in the men and women who work here have been unfailing. Of particular note, President Baker's understanding and appreciation of the contribution of the University's staff employees has been "right there" from day one. Soon after his arrival here in 1992, one of his very first meetings was with previous meritorious award winners he wanted to know their thoughts and ideas about how to make the University a better place for everyone - faculty, staff and students. To further emphasize his commitment to staff employees and to give them a stronger voice' in the University, a year ago Dr. Baker established the UND Staff Senate. To recognize that special spirit of commitment, loyalty and pride in the University of North Dakota which President Baker has fostered and promoted in his years here, I am very proud to announce the Ken and Toby Baker UND Proud Award. Each year at this event, the Ken and Toby Baker UND Proud Award will be presented to a staff employee who, through service and dedication to the University, to fellow workers, and to community, exemplifies the qualities of commitment, loyalty and pride in the University so characterized by Ken and Toby Baker.
"The award will include an engraved plaque and a cash award for the recipient. In addition, a traveling plaque engraved with the name of each year's winner will be placed in the employee's department. While the plaques are still being designed, I am very pleased to announce that the first recipients of the Ken and Toby Baker UND Proud award are Ken and Toby Baker."

University Senate Clears Busy May Agenda That Included April Carry-Over
University Senate moved swiftly through a long and varied agenda at its regular monthly meeting May 6, which included the items from a twice canceled April meeting.
Among action was approval of a change in the description of the General Education Requirements (GER), defeat of a resolution on the collection and reporting of enrollment data, approval of a recommendation to place the Admissions Office organizationally back in the Academic Affairs Division by taking it from the Student and Outreach Services Division where it was placed last year, and endorsement of a statement about breastfeeding on campus. Several changes in the Code of Student Life also were approved, and Senate elected new members to its committees (see item elsewhere in this issue of University Letter).

COPYRIGHT SEMINAR WILL BE BROADCAST
The UND libraries -- Harley E. French Library of the Health Sciences,
Thormodsgard Law Library, and the Chester Fritz Library -- are co-sponsoring
the broadcast of the satellite conference on the Digital Millennium Copyright
Act: The Impact of Recent Changes to the U.S. Copyright Law (PUBLIC LAW 105-304, see 112 Stat. 2360).
The conference will take place Friday, May 21, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
in
United Lecture Hall, Room 1370, Karl Christian Wold Bio-Information Learning
Resources Center, School of Medicine and Health Sciences.
This event is free and open to anyone in the area who would like to
attend.
Please call April Byars, Library of the Health Sciences, 777-3893, if you are
planning to come. Parking is available in the lot adjacent to the building.
You may bring your own lunch to eat during the conference. Drinks may be
purchased in the building before or during the conference. For special
accommodations or other questions and comments, please direct your inquiries
to Judy Rieke at jrieke@medicine.nodak.edu or 777-4129, or Theresa Norton at
tnorton@medicine.nodak.edu or 777-2946.
The organizers (listed below) ask that all attendees read Arnold P.
Lutzker's
"Primer on the Digital Millennium" before the teleconference. This text can be
found at: http://www.arl.org/info/frn/copy/primer.html.
The teleconference is hosted by George Washington University Library
and
sponsored by the following organizations: The American Library Association,
The Association of Law Libraries, The Association of Research Libraries, The
Medical Library Association, and The Special Library Association.
For detailed information on the conference, please read:
http://www.arl.org/info/frn/copy/dmca.html.
Background information is provided by the Association of Research
Libraries:
During 1998, the 105th Congress passed two bills to amend the 1976 Copyright
Act: The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), intended to update copyright
law for the digital age in selected arenas, and the Sonny Bono Copyright Term
Extension Act, which gives copyright owners another 20 years of copyright
protection for their works. Significantly, a third piece of legislation,
database protection, did not pass last year and has been reintroduced in the
House this session. The current bill has the potential for fundamentally
changing the way the research and educational community works. These changes
to copyright law enacted in the 105th Congress have significant implications
for libraries, archives, and institutions of higher education. Of particular
importance, portions of the DMCA contain detailed regulations for online
service providers that must be followed to obtain protection from liability or
infringement. Not only must online service providers register with the
Copyright Office, but educational institutions are also required to educate
their communities about copyright law and compliance. Other sections of the
law will require the community to develop processes for collecting information
and conducting studies to ensure the long-term protection of fair use and
other copyright exceptions. In addition, changes to the law are still possible
as Congress directed the Copyright Office to study how digital technology
could be used to promote distance education. With a distinguished panel of
experts, the teleconference, Copyright in the New Millennium, will describe
the new laws, discuss the implications for libraries, archives, and
educational institutions as they attempt to comply with the new laws, and
discuss strategies for the community as it engages in the ongoing studies
required by the law and confronts pending database legislation.
AALL, MLA, and SLA are awarding three Continuing Education Units (CEs)
for the
teleconference. Blank certificates of attendance can be picked up at the
teleconference. -- Judy Rieke, Assistant Director and Collection
Management
Librarian, Library of the Health Sciences.

ALL HUMAN RESEARCH MUST BE APPROVED BY IRB
The Institutional Review Board (IRB) was established in 1980 to protect
the
rights and welfare of humans who are the subjects of research activities
conducted under the auspices of the University of North Dakota. All persons
affiliated with the University who wish to conduct research involving human
subjects on or off campus must first receive approval of the IRB. This
process is initiated by submitting a research protocol to the IRB. Forms are
available in the Office of Research and Program Development (ORPD) in 105
Twamley Hall or on ORPD's Homepage at http:www.und.edu/dept/orpd.
There are three categories used in the review of research protocols:
"Exempt,"
"Expedited," and "Full Board" review. Descriptions of the various categories
of review are included with the IRB forms. Approval of "Exempt" and
"Expedited" protocols may be provided by an individual member of the Board and
generally do not require a Full Board review. Approximately fourteen days are
required for the review if it is determined that an "Exempt" or "Expedited"
review is appropriate. However, the individual reviewer may request
additional information or refer the protocol to the Full Board. In either
case, the review may take longer. The Full Board meets on a monthly basis.
The schedule for the coming year follows.
If a Full Board review is required and the protocol involves clinical
subjects, the Clinical Medical Subcommittee must also review the protocol and
provide a recommendation to the IRB. This typically requires one additional
week for the review process.
IRB members are available to make presentations to
faculty/students/staff
regarding IRB policies, procedures, etc. Also, ORPD has several videos and
books which may be checked out by faculty members. Contact Shirley Griffin at
777-4279 or shirley_griffin@mail.und.nodak.edu if you are interested in either
of these options.

PHYSICIAN-FACULTY MEMBERS RECEIVE AWARDS
Ten North Dakota physicians were recognized during the M.D. Class of
1999
Commencement Ceremony (May 8) for their contributions to the education of
medical students at the School of Medicine and Health Sciences.
Selected to receive the Dean's Special Recognition Award for
Outstanding
Volunteer Faculty and invited to participate in this spring's Doctor of
Medicine (M.D.) Commencement ceremony were Janice Bury (Obstetrics and
Gynecology, Bismarck), Abel Tello (Internal Medicine, Bismarck), Raymond Gruby
(Surgery, Bismarck), James Kolars (Obstetrics and Gynecology Emeritus, Fargo),
Andrew McLean (Neuroscience, Fargo), Linda Getz-Kleiman (Pediatrics, Fargo),
Jeffrey Verhey (Internal Medicine, Minot), Steven Bollinger (Internal
Medicine, Grand Forks), Douglas Greves (Family Medicine, Devils Lake), and
Scott Rowe (Family Medicine, Jamestown).
They were recognized for the extraordinary commitment they have brought
to
teaching medical students. The dean expressed the school's appreciation and
presented each in attendance with an award on stage during the commencement
ceremony. For more than two decades medical students from the UND School of
Medicine and Health Sciences have received training from practicing physicians
in community hospitals and clinics throughout the state.
"We are deeply indebted to our physician-faculty members who help to
train the
next generation of doctors," said Dean Wilson. "Without their dedicated
participation, we could not offer a medical education program in North
Dakota." The School of Medicine and Health Sciences conferred its first M.D.
degrees in 1976. Today, about 40 percent of the physicians practicing in North
Dakota have received some or all of their training through the school, as
compared to less than 20 percent in 1970. -- H. David Wilson, Dean,
School of
Medicine and Health Sciences.

public colleges. This newly approved Tuition Incentive Program will allow
undergraduate students who are dependents or spouses of graduates of North
Dakota's 11 public colleges to attend a North Dakota University System college
at 150 percent of the North Dakota resident rate. A graduate for this Program
is someone who has earned an associate, baccalaureate, master's, specialist,
or doctoral degree from one of the University System colleges. A dependent is
defined as someone who was claimed on the most recent federal tax return as a
dependent of the graduate. All newly enrolled students are eligible for
participation in the Program beginning with the fall 1999 semester. The chart
below reflects the full-time and part-time tuition rates that will be in
effect for academic year 1999-2000 for dependents or spouses that utilize the

NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH (NIH)
The purpose of the Mentored Quantitative Research Career Development
Award
(K25) is to engender and foster such activities by supporting the career
development of investigators with quantitative scientific and engineering
backgrounds outside of biology or medicine who have made a commitment to focus
their research endeavors on behavioral and biomedical research (basic or
clinical). This mechanism is aimed at research-oriented scientists with
experience at the level of junior faculty (e.g., early to mid-levels of
assistant professor or research assistant professor ranks). Support is
provided for a period of supervised research and study with an established
mentor in the area of interest. Not all institutes utilize the K25 mechanism;
interested participants are stongly encouraged to contact NIH representatives
within the appropriate institute before preparing an application. Deadlines:

NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE (NCI)
The Transition Career Development Award (K22) provides support for
newly
independent investigators to develop and receive funding for their initial
cancer research programs. It is intended to facilitate the transition from
the mentored to the independent stage of their careers in research. It
applies to clinicians who are pursuing basic science, patient-oriented
research careers and to individuals pursuing careers in the prevention,
control and population sciences. To apply, a candidate must have completed at
least 2 years of postdoctoral, mentored research or have been in an
independent position for less than a year. Successful applicants will be
given up to a year to identify an independent, preferably tenure-track,
position at a sponsoring institution before an award can be activated. The
K22 award mechanism will be used. The Award will provide salary up to $75,000
plus fringe benefits and up to $50,000/year for other specified expenses. The
total project period may not exceed 3 years. Deadlines: 6/1/99, 10/1/99,

NATIONAL INSTITUTE ON DRUG ABUSE (NIDA)
Awards from the Clinical Research Education Program in Drug Abuse and
Addiction support educational programs aimed at developing the research skills
of investigators who wish to focus on clinical, prevention, health services,
or treatment issues in drug abuse; or developing a cadre of clinical drug
abuse experts proficient in the use of research findings (for example, in
public health, behavioral science, or medicine) to develop or implement early
detection, diagnosis, treatment, or prevention interventions. The latter
category would also include applications of health services research findings.
Programs that address both aims are particularly desired. Awards are made to
institutions to develop or enhance research training opportunities for
individuals, selected by the institution, who are training for careers as
researchers, as clinicians (broadly defined), or (ideally) as a combination of
the two. Educational partnerships between research institutions and drug
abuse treatment organizations are highly encouraged. Collaborative programs
involving clinical or applied settings and academic or research institutions
such as schools of public health, departments of preventive and community
medicine, or other entities with appropriate expertise for the development and
establishment of educational training programs in drug abuse clinical,
prevention, health services, and treatment research and practice are
encouraged. Depending upon the program's educational objectives, faculty,
research, target student population, and other available resources, applicants
may propose a predoctoral and/or postdoctoral type program. The maximum award
will be $350,000 in direct costs. Deadlines: 6/1/99, 10/1/99, 2/1/00.
