Official Notices


ACADEMIC OPPORTUNITY

Pilot Research Grants Available

The UW Specialized Center of Research in Pharmacology of Drugs in Pregnancy (UW SCOR; supported by NICHD and ORWH) announces the availability of funds for one year pilot research grants ($10,000 per award) on the pharmacology of drugs in pregnancy. A total of two to three grants will be awarded. Under exceptional circumstances, a single grant may be awarded $20,000.

Proposals should pursue novel research avenues that will generate preliminary data for a major research grant application (e.g. RO1) in the area of pharmacology of drugs in pregnancy or sex-related differences in the pharmacology of drugs. Applications that are synergistic or complementary to existing projects within the UW SCOR will receive higher priority.

An e-mail of intent to apply should be received by May 15 and should briefly outline of the subject of the proposal. The deadline for applications is June 1.

LEGAL NOTICE

Public Hearing Notice

Notice is hereby given that a public hearing will be held at noon on Wednesday, May 17, Room LB1 205, Library/Media Center at the UW, Bothell/Cascadia Community College campus. The purpose of the hearing is to allow all interested persons an opportunity to present their views, either orally or in writing, on the proposed new Chapter 132Z-141 WAC, “Use of Joint Cascadia Community College and University of Washington, Bothell, Facilities,” and new Chapter 478-137 WAC, “Use of University of Washington, Bothell and Cascadia Community College Joint Facilities.”

The UW, Bothell (UWB) and Cascadia Community College (CCC) share Washington State’s only co-located higher education campus. The co-location agreement provides that the institutions have dedicated and joint building spaces. While both institutions have separate rules that govern the use of their unique facilities, there are currently no rules to govern the use of shared spaces. These new rules would allow the institutions to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of shared campus space. UWB and CCC will hold this joint public hearing as part of the rule-making process to promulgate these rules under separate agency authorization.

Advance copies of the proposed WAC rules may be obtained by contacting Rebecca Goodwin Deardorff, UW Director of Rules Coordination, Box 355509, Seattle, WA 98195; email: rules@u.washington.edu; phone: 206-543-9219. Copies will also be available at the public hearing.

Persons wishing to provide written comment may submit their remarks to Ms. Deardorff at the above business or e-mail address, or by fax to 206-221-6917, by May 17.

To request disability accommodation for this hearing, contact the UW Disability Services Office at least ten days in advance of the event at: 206-543-6450/ voice, 206-543-6452/TTY, 206-685-7264/fax, or by e-mail at dso@u.washington.edu.
