Grant Proposal. FALL: due last day of classes A 5-page (double spaced) Grant Proposal must be uploaded to Canvas under Assignments with the following sections patterned after the format of an NIH or NSF Grant: Specific Aims Background and Significance Research Plan Preliminary Results Bibliography Figures and Legends can be embedded Oral Presentation – SPRING: due early April (specific date TBA) All students in NSCI 490/491 are expected to give a capstone oral presentation on their research at the end of the Spring term. All students should try to find a mutually agreeable time with their Research Mentors for their presentation. These presentations should be made using presentation software such as PowerPoint or Keynote. We will have a digital projector available; however, you should plan on bringing your own laptop to plug into the system with appropriate connectors. Talks will be 15 minutes followed by 3-5 minutes for discussion/questions. Time and presentation order will be enforced. Slides should be uploaded to the Canvas Assignment section at least 2 days before the scheduled presentation. Individual slides should be simple and not overloaded with text. Many skilled presenters find it effective to present only one key idea on each slide, as a general rule, and to provide a title on each slide. This idea is often best conveyed graphically rather than via text. Your talk should include an introduction of the overarching neuroscience question that you addressed, an explanation of the approach you took to tackle this question, your results, and the conclusions. Your objective should be to make your presentation clear and interesting to individuals who do not share your background. It is extremely important to define any technical terms and to avoid acronyms. You should assume that the audience does not know the terminology or background of your subfield. Practice your talk!! Give a practice talk to the lab you are working in before you give it officially. As noted in the Research Xxxxxx’s contract, his/her attendance at the session at which you are presenting is expected; if she/he cannot attend, you should arrange for someone else from your lab to attend. Consequently, consult your research mentor at the beginning of the term to select a date that fits with her/his schedule. Research Article – SPRING: due last day of classes A 25-30 page double-spaced paper in the form of a typical Research Article is due on the last day of classes uploaded to the Assignment section in ...
Grant Proposal. Presented is the final version of the Breathe Easy Telehealth Program grant proposal, under the application guidelines for NIH funding opportunity announcement PA-16-161. The content of the proposal incorporates the suggested edits by the thesis committee chair; thesis field advisor; and three thesis committee members. March 29, 2017 Center for Scientific Review National Institutes of Health Xxxxx 0000-0000 Xxxxxxxx, XX 00000 Dear Project Officer, It is a privilege to submit a grant proposal, entitled “The Breathe Easy Telehealth Program” for consideration under the application guidelines as noted by our chosen grant, PA-16-161: NIH Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant Program. Since our proposal deals primarily with the provision of primary prevention strategies, of specialty asthma health care services, environmental health, and, we request that this proposal be reviewed by the following: Institute National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) Study Section Healthcare Delivery and Methodologies IRG [HDM] The Breathe Easy Telehealth program will align and contribute to the Healthy People 2020’s Respiratory Disease targeted objectives to reduce the proportion of children ages 5 to 17 years with asthma who miss school days, increase the proportion of persons with current asthma who receive formal patient education, and increase the proportion of persons with current asthma who receive appropriate asthma care according to National Asthma Education and Prevention Program (NAEPP) guidelines. In Louisiana, children 10 years old and younger account for more than 50 percent of the state’s asthma Medicaid recipients and close to 50 percent of the state’s asthma expenditures. Intermittent asthma severity among children in Louisiana, with a current diagnosis of asthma, is lower than the national average. However, the persistent asthma severity among children in Louisiana, with current diagnosis is above the national average. The Breathe Easy Telehealth program will allow for the delivery of health care services through a strong consortium of clinical, public health, academic, and community partners. Every consortium organization will be actively involved in the planning and delivery of program activities. Increasing formalized patient education, preventive services, community health resources, and specialty health care services in vulnerable and underserved populations, especially children, is not likely until research, evidence-based programs, and...
