We publish draft information on future call topics a few months ahead of the official call launch. We do this to give you additional time to find or build a consortium and prepare a strong proposal. Note that as draft topics are still under development, the texts may change considerably between the versions published here and the call launch, and you should always check the final, approved topic texts once the calls are launched.

The following topics are under consideration for inclusion in IHI call 6 (two-stage) and IHI call 7 (single-stage):

IHI call 6 (two-stage)

• Support healthcare system resilience through a focus on persistency in the treatment of chronic diseases
• Development of practical guidance and recommendations for using real world data/real world evidence in healthcare decision-making

IHI call 7 (single-stage)

• Improving clinical management of heart disease from early detection to treatment
• User-centric technologies and optimised hospital workflows for a sustainable healthcare workforce
• Clinical validation of biomarkers for diagnosis, monitoring disease progression and treatment response

The topics are currently under consultation with the States’ Representatives Group (SRG) and the Science and Innovation Panel (SIP). They may therefore change considerably between the versions published here and the call launch, and applicants should check the final, approved topic texts once the calls are launched.

Finally, the library’s online course “Student literature reviews in medicine and health sciences” is published on MittUiB. The course is intended for students in medicine and health sciences writing a literature review as their bachelor or master’s thesis. It is open accessible, in Norwegian and English. We have also included a module for advisors. The course was published in September 2023, and is easy to find at the medical library’s webpages about courses and guidance.

The course is divided into modules according the different steps in the work with a literature review: searching, project proposal, documentation, screening, dealing with search results, team work, quality assessment, data extraction and writing. We also present some digital tools as databases, EndNote, and how to use rayyan, which contains an AI-component.

The target groups for this course are mainly bachelor students and master students who write a literature review. However, the course contains practical guides which could be useful for researchers doing a systematic review, and a specific module for advisors.

As advisors, you may have some thoughts about this course? It is newly published, and we are happy to get feedback from you.

Please, have a look, and discuss with your colleagues.

Kind regards from the Medical library

Procedures for sick leave

Today, I have just a short reminder for you. The influenza season is approaching, in addition to the ongoing round of COVID-19. This may lead to absences that require self-reporting and medical certificates. When you have sick leave, please remember the following procedures:

1. Inform your supervisor.
2. Report self-reported absences through the self-service portal under “Time” and “Leave requests.”
3. If you have a medical certificate, whether in paper or digital form:
   • Paper: Submit Part C and Part D filled out and signed to your supervisor. Remember to fill out the self-declaration form. Your unit should then forward the medical certificate to the Service Team for Absences and Parental Leave.
   • Digital: Send it to your employer via Your NAV on the first day of your absence. Apply for sickness benefits when you receive a message from NAV.

Many people forget to notify their immediate supervisor, but it is crucial to remember this!

Have a great weekend!
