June

The offices of the Vice President for Research (VPR) and the Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) would like to bring attention to several major recommendations and changes to lab safety programs around campus.

The University of Utah's radioactive material licenses are inspected annually by the Utah State Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control, with the next inspection expected the week of June 24, 2019. All Radioactive Material Permit Holders should have received a notification from Environmental Health and Safety regarding the inspection, as well as a packet of documents that include an inspection checklist and several Job Aids. If you are working in a Radioactive Material use area, and have not received this packet of information, please contact the EHS at 801-581-6141 or the Radiation Analyst assigned to your areas.

Please be advised that the National Science Foundation (NSF) has designated the National Institutes of Health’s SciENcv (Science Experts Network Curriculum Vitae) as an NSF-approved format for submission of biographical sketch(es) and is encouraging its use to prepare a biographical sketch for inclusion in proposals to NSF.

To foster new collaboration and research teams across campus, the Office of the Vice President for Research hosts interdisciplinary Research Roundtables that center around a topic that is of interest to a broad range of disciplines.

The Research Development Office is available to review your NSF CAREER proposal before submission. Contact Gay Cookson to make an appointment.
