The National Endowment for the Humanities will present a regional proposal development workshop and individual advising sessions at the UK Student Center on March 22-23, 2001. The program is open to the academic community and postsecondary institutions throughout the state. The speaker will be Dr. Kenneth Kolson, Deputy Director of the Division of Research Programs at the NEH. This event is being hosted by the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Graduate Studies, Lexington Campus, and Sponsored Program Development. The workshop will begin with a plenary session from 9 to 11:30 a.m. in room 230 of the Student Center. Topics will include an overview of the grant programs supported by NEH, the proposal review process, current initiatives, and a question-and-answer session. The afternoon program from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. will focus on a panel discussion and a mock review of several applications selected by NEH to illustrate strengths and weaknesses in proposal writing. The remainder of Thursday afternoon and Friday morning will be allocated to individual or small group appointments with Dr. Kolson for researchers who submit a two-to-three page double- spaced proposal abstract or concept paper by March 1 to Dr. Margot McCullers, Sponsored Program Development (mmcculle@pop.uky.edu). Contact her for details on what to include in the abstract. Workshop registration is required, and pre-registration by March 1 is strongly encouraged. A $15 registration fee includes all materials and the following meals on Thursday, March 22: continental breakfast (8:15-9 a.m.) and lunch (12-1:15 p.m.) The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Graduate Studies, Lexington Campus will assume the cost of the registration fee for all Lexington Campus regular full-time faculty whose registration forms are received by March 1 in Sponsored Program Development (305 Kinkead Hall, 0057).

Format of Grant and Cooperative Agreement Applications Submitted to NIH The National Institutes of Health reminds us that the submission specifications for PHS398, PHS416, and Phase I and II SBIR and STTR applications need to be followed when you prepare an application for submission. The use of standardized application guidelines allows all applicants comparable space and provides reviewers with applications that are easy to read, thus allowing them to concentrate on the scientific evaluation of the proposed research. Most applications submitted to NIH adhere to these specifications and most principal investigators routinely use appropriate formatting and presentation to make their applications clear and easy to follow. However, there are increasing complaints from study-section members about applications that do not follow these specifications. Furthermore, NIH is increasing its use of scanning applications as an intermediate step in the transition to electronic applications. For scanning to be accurate and cost-effective, it is important that applications follow the format specifications. In an effort to ensure that all applications meet the stated format requirements, NIH is undertaking the following steps:
