[:no]Forskningsetisk dag på UiB[:]

[:no]Det er grunnleggende for kunnskapssamfunnet at vi kan ha tillit til forskningen. Derfor er det også avgjørende at forskningen holder høy kvalitet i henhold til forskningsetiske normer. For å øke oppmerksomheten på forskningsetikk ved Universitetet i Bergen har vi etablert en årlig forskningsetisk dag for alle ansatte. Årets konferanse har som hovedtema «Publisering og medforfatterskap.» Vi ser frem til en dag med viktige samtaler om forskningsetikk!

Norwegian Cancer Society’s Qualification Projects – Accelerating Research Outcome and Patient Impact

[:no]The Norwegian Cancer Society’s (NCS) aim is to prevent and fight cancer, and to ensure the best quality of life for patients and their families. Through research, prevention, information, support, advice, and lobbying, we fight cancer locally, nationally and globally. The NCS provides a considerable amount of all direct funding for cancer research in Norway, thus contributing to promoting a research environment of top international standard in the country. Furthermore, nurturing innovation and promoting novel ideas play a crucial role in advancing cancer research and enhancing patient outcomes.

Research findings frequently serve as the foundation for multiple potential commercial applications. In a qualification project, the primary objective is to thoroughly explore and pinpoint the most promising commercial application prospects, including service innovation. This initial investigation lays the groundwork for subsequent technology verification and development. Promising research and innovative solutions often take too long to reach patients. The NCS aims to accelerate this process, particularly for those applications with high patient benefit. This call focus on increasing the innovation potential of projects funded by the NCS (from 2016-2023).

Responsible organization The Norwegian Cancer Society
Application type Qualification projects
Project duration 3 months to 12 months – First/last possible start date 01.01.2025/01.07.2025
Funding scale 200 000 to 1 000 000 NOK
Total amount of call 8 MNOK
Application deadline 15 October 2024 at 13:00
Decision announcement December 2024

[:no]Innspelsmøte om porteføljeplan for innovasjon[:]

[:no]

  1. okt. kl. 13.00–15.00

NFR fekk ti nye porteføljestyre ved starten av 2024. No startar arbeidet med nye porteføljeplanar.

NFR inviterer til å gi innspel på utkast til porteføljeplan for innovasjon.

Porteføljeplanane er styringsdokument som skal bidra til føreseielegheit for både søkjarar og finansierande departement. Dei er korte og overordna, og blir konkretiserte i ein investeringsplan som blir oppdatert årleg.

[:no]Ukens leder[:en]This weeks edithorial[:]

[:no]Kjære alle,

det er med entusiasme jeg nå har gått inn i rollen som ny undervisningsleder ved K2 – et omfangsrikt og mangefasettert institutt med veldig mange dyktige fagpersoner!

Jeg har bakgrunn som lege ved Barne- og ungdomsklinikken på Haukeland universitetssykehus siden 1998 og leder av Klinisk forskningspost for barn og unge siden 2011 med stort fokus på legemiddelutprøvingsstudier og pasientrettet forskning generelt. I over 20 år har jeg vært involvert i medisinerstudentundervisning, noe jeg hele veien har opplevd svært meningsfylt. Fra mars 2022 gikk jeg inn som undervisningsgruppeleder (UGLE) i pediatri og MED9-semesterstyreleder og har gjennom sistnevnte rolle vært en del av Programutvalget i Medisin (PUM) de siste to og et halvt årene.

Denne uken var det Vestlandslegemøte i Stavanger med viktig og god samhandling mellom UiB-kolleger i faggrupper på tvers. Det er stor spenning knyttet til statsbudsjettet som kommer om få uker hvor det er håp om videre økning av medisinstudieplasser ved UiB i tråd med justerte planer for Vestlandslegen og tilsvarende regionale prosjekt ved de andre medisinske fakultetene.

Det er kjekt og meningsfullt å bidra til at vi får trygge og gode leger, farmasøyter og ernæringsfysiologer for fremtiden, og der bidrar veldig mange av dere på imponerende vis – på tvers av fag, semestre, institutt og profesjon. I tillegg er det et stort antall gode kolleger i helsevesenet uten UiB- stilling som gir avgjørende viktig studentundervisning og praksisveiledning.

Neste uke er det Felles undervisningsdag i Armauer Hansens Hus. Håper flest mulig av dere får anledning til å delta!

Heia!

Camilla[:en]Dear all,

it is with enthusiasm that I have now stepped into the role as new Head of Teaching at K2 – a comprehensive and multifaceted department with many very skilled colleagues!

I have a background as physician at the Department of Pediatrics at Haukeland University Hospital since 1998 and head of the clinical trials unit for children since 2011 with a strong focus on drug trials and patient-oriented research in general. For over 20 years, I have been involved in medical student teaching, which I have found very meaningful throughout. In March 2022, I started as teaching group leader (UGLE) of pediatrics and MED9 semester chair and have through the latter role been part of the Program Committee in Medicine (PUM) for the past two and a half years.

This week there was a Vestlandslege-meeting in Stavanger with important and good interaction between UiB colleagues in Faggrupper på tvers. There is great excitement related to the governmental budget that will come in a few weeks, where there is hope for a further increase in number of medical students at UiB in line with adjusted plans for Vestlandslegen and similar regional projects at the other medical faculties.

It is nice and meaningful to contribute to us all getting good doctors, pharmacists and nutritionists for the future, and many of you contribute in an impressive way – across subject areas, semesters, departments and professions. In addition, there is a large number of good colleagues in the health care system without a UiB position who provide crucially important student teaching and practice supervision.

Next week we will have the Medical Faculty Joint Teaching Day at Armauer Hansen House. I hope as many of you as possible will have the opportunity to participate!
