In this June 2014 NCIP Hub Webinar, we see how to use "workspaces" within the hub to access significant computational power.

In this June 2014 NCIP Hub Webinar, we see how to use "workspaces" within the hub to access significant computational power.

This is a presentation given as part of the NCIP Hub Webinar Series. It reviews at a high level what resources are, why and when to use them, and how to contribute.

Overview and demo of the database functionality on NCIP Hub. Further documentation on database functionality is included in the "Supporting Documentation" section.

NCI’s Continuing Umbrella of Research Experiences (CURE) program offers a unique series of biomedical research training and career development funding opportunities for scholars from diverse racial/ethnic or disadvantaged backgrounds, or those with disabilities.

The Exploratory/Developmental Grants Program for Basic Cancer Research in Cancer Health Disparities (R21/R01) are designed to facilitate the growth of a nationwide cohort of scientists with a high level of basic research expertise in cancer health disparities research who can develop resources and tools necessary for conducting such research.

The Exploratory Grant Award to Promote Workforce Diversity in Basic Cancer Research (R21) is designed to improve the diversity of the research workforce by supporting and recruiting eligible investigators from groups that have been shown to be underrepresented.

The NCI Mentored Clinical Scientist Research Career Development Award to Promote Diversity (K08) enhances workforce diversity by providing clinical scientists with support and protected time for intensive, supervised research career development experience in the elds of clinical, behavioral, translational, or patient-oriented cancer research.

To learn more about the program, eligibility, and application deadlines, visit: http://depts.washington.edu/bcpt/admission.

The NCI Research Supplements to Promote Diversity in Health-Related Research (Diversity Supplements) support research training for individuals from underrepresented groups throughout the continuum from high school students to investigators.

Continuing Umbrella of Research Experiences (CURE) provides training opportunities for underrepresented students and trainees across the academic continuum in order to diversify the workforce in cancer and cancer health disparities research.

The Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) Individual Predoctoral Fellowship to Promote Diversity in Health-Related Research (F31 Diversity Training Fellowship) enhances the diversity of the health-related research workforce by supporting the research training of outstanding predoctoral candidates from underrepresented groups.

This program, organized by the NIH Center for Scientific Review (CSR), was created to train and educate qualified scientists that do not have prior CSR review experiences. Find more information, videos, and apply here: http://public.csr.nih.gov/ReviewerResources/BecomeAReviewer/ECR/Pages/default.aspx
