We are creating a process this spring with the Research Council of Norway’s FRIPRO applications, with deadline May 21st. See schedule (in Norwegian).
Here is a short description of FRIPRO
Here you can find an overview of the health research programs of NFR (in Norwegian).
NFR is also including the calls from EU, H2020. You will find the deadlines here (in Norwegian). First deadline is at 25th of March for ERC young researchers.
NB!!! IMPORTANT! The institute MUST approve applications at least two weeks before the deadline to get rent and administration costs covered for employees of the Cancer Society, BMFS, BFS and Jebsen.
The program for human biobanks and health data organizes a conference the 27th of May, at the House of Literature in Oslo.
For more information and registration.
The research group Aging, health and welfare will hold the symposium: “What is the best way to conduct a randomised controlled study on clinical patient based research?” The symposium will address guidelines for the implementing of a randomised controlled study and assessment of quality, and the challenges that follow these guidelines to reach a high quality of clinical patient based research. The symposium will be held Tuesday May 13, 09:30-15:00, in Pilestredet 46, PA 308, Oslo. For more information (in Norwegian).
Registration must be sent to Astrid Bergland.
The Lab Animal Facility is a core facility at MOF, where K1 has operational responsibility and Aurora Brønstad is the director. At K2 there are several users of both large and small animal models. The activities of the Lab Animal Facility have changed over time. Several activities have expanded to a considerable degree, such as the use of transgene mouse models, whereas other activities such as testing with large animals have been reduced.
There is an increased need for prioritization of the facility’s tasks and two-way information between the facility and the users regarding what assistance the researchers may expect and what demands the researchers must adhere to. Research projects wishing to use the facility must contact Aurora as early as possible in order to ease the facility’s planning. All applications will be subjecte to prioritization. One cannot take for granted that access will be given as soon as the need arises. As is the case with other core facilities, the costs of the services given, must also be considered.
There has recently been a useful meeting between representatives from the Lab Animal Facility, K1, K2, IBM and the faculty based on an initiative from K1 where these issues were discussed. One course of action implemented subsequent to the meeting is that the academic advisory group at the Lab Animal Facility will be more active and advise on guidelines for prioritization of projects.
It is important that all users contribute constructively in the debate regarding the facility.

Due to repairs, heat and hot water will disappear Friday April 4 starting about 17:00. The work will continue through the evening and night before April 5, until the repairs are done. The heat will fall towards the evening and the end of work hours for most people.
How fast the heat will fall is dependent on the temperature outside, but will for most take a few hours before it is noticed.
In Barneklinikken extra measures will be taken to reduce the risk of cooling.
The Chemical Storage will be closed Thursday April 3 and Wednesday April 9 due to a course. It will also be closed the Easter week (April 14-16).
The Faculty Day will be held THURSDAY JUNE 5th at 10:00-14:00. Reserve the day. More information will come later.
After having reviewed the publications for 2013, the administration has noticed that not everyone has used the correct address in their publications. Thus we want to point out that it is very important that this is done in a correct manner. The correct address which is to be used is Department of Clinical Science, University of Bergen.

The exploratory pre-seed program is a stimulus fund established to accelerate commercialization of biomedical research findings and development of novel technologies within the life sciences. The goal of an exploratory pre-seed grant is to stimulate entrepreneurship and to explore the potential of research findings at a very early stage (pre-seed), and to prepare the project for a full pre-seed grant at a later stage. Application deadline is April 23. For more information.
Next week there will be a new seminar in the seminar line “Perspectives in Translational Medicine”. Time and place: Wednesday April 2 at 14:15-15:00, Stort auditorium, Sentralblokken. Presentations will be held by Professor Lars Thomassen (Dep. of Neurology/UoB K1) and PhD-candidate Erlend Eriksen (Intervention cardiologist at the Heart dep.).
