September 7, 2022 Research Bulletin

Volume 3, Issue 17
Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to announce Laura Buccini, DrPH, MPH in her role as Senior Director for Research Development at the CU Anschutz Medical Campus starting September 1st, 2022. Dr. Buccini has been supporting research development at the Cleveland Clinic for the last 10 years, most recently as the Director of Research Development and Strategic Initiatives. During her tenure there, she has led initiatives to elevate the Cleveland Clinic’s competitiveness for research partnerships and funding.

Over the next several months, Dr. Buccini will work to develop a strong understanding of our campus’s research strengths and unique assets, reaching out to many researchers and research units. After her initial research landscape assessment, we will work to strategically anticipate and plan for future research funding opportunities, including with ARPA-H, DOD offerings and other new national research directions.

Please join me in welcoming Dr. Buccini to our campus. Her experience and knowledge in this area provides a real opportunity for additional planning for new national research opportunities going forward.

Sincerely,
Thomas Flaig, MD
Vice Chancellor for Research

Special Announcements


The Strategic Infrastructure for Research Committee (SIRC) is announcing a new pilot grant program: “Across the Finish Line” (AFL) grants, designed to help both junior faculty and established faculty moving into a new area of investigation. 

Funds will be used to generate pilot data that can be leveraged into a new R01-type grant submission (or re-submission). Initially, grants will be reviewed by the standing SIRC review committee. Questions and applications should be submitted by 5pm on Wednesday, August 17, 2022, to Peter Buttrick.

The Translational Methods Pilot Grant supports the development of novel methods and innovative technologies for clinical and translational medicine to address translational science roadblocks. This includes the development of new assays, methods, software, technologies and animal models which are not currently available to the CU Anschutz campus and CCTSI affiliated institutions.

The Request for Applications is now open, with a mandatory intent to apply submission deadline of September 26, 2022.

Integrated and well-managed biomedical data is key to driving research; therefore, the Research Informatics Office (RIO) was established to coordinate and integrate data and analytic capabilities across the Anschutz Medical Campus. The newly instantiated CRIO Council aims to understand our data landscape via a survey.   

This inventory of research needs and data has several benefits to researchers: potential for better, easier, or less expensive data management solutions; improved data reuse and cost-effectiveness for commonly utilized datasets; identification of new research opportunities and collaborations; easier compliance to the new NIH data sharing policy; analytical infrastructure for research and educational use; and enabling the RIO to best support grant applications - especially program projects or data coordination centers.   

We urge you to share information regarding your needs and assets at this 10-min survey so that the Council can best plan the future of research infrastructure on the Anschutz Campus. Please complete the survey by September 15th. 

The CRIO Council will distribute summary results by October 31st, along with plans for campus infrastructure.   

Feel free to contact crio@cuanschutz.edu with any questions.
