2018 GRASP, GCAT and FIT Awardees

Research Affairs is pleased to announce the Grants for Research and School Partnerships (GRASP) awards for 2018. Four applications were received from several different co-principal investigators from three LLU schools. They were reviewed and scored by a panel of 18 or more senior researchers. Based on the combined scores of the reviewers, one project with investigators from two different schools was selected for award, fulfilling the GRASP objective to encourage collaborative research between researchers in various parts of the institution. All the applicants will shortly receive copies of the reviewer’s comments to guide them in preparing subsequent grant applications.

Please join us in congratulating Drs. Denise Bellinger, Matthew Bock, Ike De La Pena, Johnny Figueroa, Ahmed Khocht, Xiaolei Tang, Charles Wang, and Daniel Wongworawat. We earnestly hope that their studies are successful, that their results will be reported in peer-reviewed publications and will contribute to applications for extramural funding.

Current research price lists are now available on the Clinical Trial Center One Portal Page in our Research Pricing Section (https://one.lluh.org/vip/Departments/LLU-Departments-and-Schools/Clinical-Trial-Center/research-pricing). The CTC worked meticulously with the specialty departments and the billing offices to get an updated, accurate list for researchers to use to when budgeting for research projects. This list should help researcher avoid delays caused by waiting for pricing. Should an item that is not listed be required for a specific research project please contact the CTC for assistance. We hope these lists assist you in being more effective and efficient and your job in keeping LLUH at the cutting edge of research.
