WVU Libraries will offer two virtual sessions of a workshop on Zotero, a free, online citation manager that can help you collect, organize, format and share citations.
Jeremy Dawson, associate professor of the Lane Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, is the recipient of a four-year subcontract consisting of one base period and two option periods valued at $750,000 to collect biometric data that will be used to develop software algorithm-based systems capable of performing whole-body biometric identification at distances as far as 300 meters or more.
Nicole L Stout will serve at the WVU site PI for an NCI-funded R01 clinical trial titled Nurse AMIE (Addressing Malignancies in Individuals Every Day) in rural West Virginia and Pennsylvania. The study will enroll patients who are undergoing treatment for advanced cancer and provide them with an electronic tablet for symptom tracking and management. Any individual being treated for advanced cancer (Stage III or IV) who resides in an RUCC 4-9 county in WV is eligible.
WVCTSI will host a special two-day Master Class on Geographic Information Systems for public health, clinical and policy research. All students, faculty and residents interested in clinical and translational research are invited to attend.
