Dean's Workshop
The third in a series of Dean's Workshops at the School of Medicine will be held Friday, March 11, from 2 to 4 p.m. in the auditorium of The Anlyan Center, 300 Cedar St.
The topic of the workshop will be the General Clinical Research Center (GCRC) at Yale, one of a national network of 78 centers funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to foster improvements in medical care.
According to the NIH, the GCRCs provide optimal settings for medical investigators to conduct state-of-the-art, in-patient and out-patient studies of both children and adults. GCRCs also provide infrastructure and resources that support several career development opportunities.
The event will feature opening remarks by Dr. Robert J. Alpern, dean of the School of Medicine and the Ensign Professor of Medicine, a discussion, a talk and three 15-minute scientific presentations.
The Dean's Workshops series brings together physicians and scientists from across the School of Medicine, the Yale medical center and the University to address topics of critical importance in advancing biomedical research and patient care.

Applications are now being accepted for A. Whitney Griswold Faculty Research Fund awards.
The fund was established to help faculty members undertake research in the humanities. The award is for research of full-time faculty members on continuing appointment in any department or division of the University. Funding of up to $2,500 per academic year may be sought for purposes such as travel to inspect primary-source materials; acquisition of inaccessible books or visual materials, which would later be transferred to a University library; or assistance with research. The award is not intended for reimbursement of expenses already incurred.
Faculty members requesting amounts over $1,000 should also apply to other sources of support. The deadline to submit applications, with supporting materials, is April 1. Applications may be obtained at www.yale.edu/whc/funding/awgapp.htm.
All materials should be sent to the Chair, Griswold Fund Committee, Whitney Humanities Center, 53 Wall St., P.O. Box 208298, New Haven, CT 06520-8298.
Applications are now being accepted for the Frederick W. Hilles Publication Fund.
The fund was established by the late Frederick W. Hilles to assist younger scholars in the humanities in the publication of their manuscripts. It is administered by the Council of Fellows of the Whitney Humanities Center. Preference will be given to first-time applications from associate professors, assistant professors and instructors. As funds permit, the council will consider applications from other faculty who have been members of the Yale College faculty for at least two years. No more than $5,000 will be awarded to any applicant for any one book.
The author or publisher should apply only after the manuscript has been accepted for publication by a university or scholarly press, preferably the Yale University Press. The application should include a summary of the manuscript and at least two reports: one from the publisher or editor, and one from a recognized scholar, attesting to the merits of the manuscript. The manuscript must have the endorsement of a publisher, who should demonstrate that a subvention is necessary and include a breakdown of costs.
Applications and supporting documents are due April 1 and should be addressed to the Chair, Hilles Publication Fund, Whitney Humanities Center, P.O. Box 208298, New Haven, CT 06520. Materials can also be faxed to (203) 432-1087 or sent by e-mail to susan.stout@yale.edu.
