The Spring Symposium will be presented on Tuesday, April 8, 2003, 8:00 AM to 12:30 PM at the IUPUI University Library Lilly Auditorium. Dr. John G. R. Hurrell, President, Indiana Proteomics Consortium, is the featured keynote speaker. Dr. Hurrell is responsible for the Consortium’s sponsored research programs at Indiana University and Purdue University and the development of the commercialization and financing strategies for each program. From the various breakout sessions offered, participants will learn the tips and techniques that work in the “the real world of award administration and research compliance." New advanced track sessions have been added this year. Registration is limited to 100 participants. To register and for additional information, go to the What’s New page on the Research Gateway Web site http://www.research.indiana.edu.

To assist applicants in preparing the plans, NIH has posted a number of resource documents on its web site at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/policy/data_sharing/index.htm. The final statement is available on this site as well. In response to concerns over the release of data before publication, NIH revised its definition of "timely release and sharing" to be no later than the acceptance for publication of the main findings from the final data set.
