Mar 27 12:00 PM ■ Zoom Research & Discovery Grand Rounds- Common Forms Compliance: Creating a NIH Biosketch and Other Support with SciENcv Please join Frontiers Clinical & Translational Science Institute for Research & Discovery Grand Rounds. This monthly series highlights information, resources and advancements in clinical and translational research. Thursday, March 27, 12:00-1:00 via Zoom Common forms represent a collaborative effort between federal research agencies to create greater standardization and provide clarity regarding disclosure requirements. Science Experts Network Curriculum Vitae (SciENcv) is an application that helps researchers assemble the professional information needed for participation in federally funded research. Beginning in May 2025, NIH will require senior and key personnel on all NIH funding proposals to use SciENcv to complete commons form. At this session, Monica Strathman, Sponsored Programs Specialist at KU Medical Center, will provide insight on the new requirements and instructions on how to prepare compliant common forms for applications.

May 19 09:00 AM ■ Livestream, virtual training Columbia University: Google Earth Engine Boot Camp: Methods for Using Satellite and Geospatial Data for Environmental Exposure Science The Google Earth Engine (https://earthengine.google.com/(link is external and opens in a new window)) combines a multi-petabyte catalog of satellite imagery and geospatial datasets with planetary-scale analysis capabilities to estimate environmental measures at fine spatial and temporal resolutions. To-date, this resource has yet to be fully leveraged for environmental exposure science and health research. This two-day intensive boot camp provides an overview of concepts, techniques, applications, and data analysis methods for applying the Google Earth Engine to estimate environmental factors (e.g., green space, air pollution, climate change) and exposures for health research. Lectures will introduce participants to cutting-edge geospatial exposure assessment methods and example case studies will use the Google Earth Engine to estimate air pollution, green space, built environment, temperature, climate, and natural system-related exposures (e.g. drought, flooding, forest change, etc.). This boot camp is led by experts in the field of environmental exposure science and epidemiology, data science, and geography. By the end of the workshop, participants will be familiar with the following topics: Capabilities of the Google Earth Engine Datasets available for environmental exposure science Data analysis methods within the Google Earth Engine Applications for air pollution, green space, built environment, temperature, and climate exposure research Applications for planetary and human health research Emerging satellite data and exposure science opportunities
