Research Live: Beyond the PI’s Grant: Alternative Models for Funding and Training Postdocs Tuesday, May 7
11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Postdoctoral scholars have a major impact on research productivity and innovation. Their future success has a big impact on UGA’s research reputation. The majority of UGA postdocs are funded exclusively by their faculty mentor’s grants, which can limit recruiting options and the scope of training. This webinar will explore recent examples of unit-centered, institutional, and federal agency models to provide funding and professional development for this important group of researchers. Register via Zoom

OACU announces new signage to indicate animal use in shared lab spaces
The Office of Animal Care and Use has (OACU) created new signage to indicate potential animal use areas in shared lab spaces. This signage will be posted at the entry of shared lab spaces in which any live animal work occurs. The signage alerts entrants to the potential for laboratory animal allergens in the area and includes some basic information about these allergens. OACU will make these signs available via their website.
