UH Receives $1.39 Million Grant to Develop Faster, More Reliable Writing Assessment
Milena Keller-Margulis, associate professor of school psychology in the College of Education, is principal investigator of a new federal grant to improve writing assessments.
The research comes amid ongoing criticism of lengthy test preparation happening in some schools across the country, with students spending hours on practice exams. Instead, Keller-Margulis focuses on educators using a short but effective approach to check students’ basic academic skills and then track their progress.

Funding Agency: NIA
Title: Nathan Shock Centers Coordinating Center (U24 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Internal Deadline: 8/30/19
Application Deadline: 10/22/19
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications to develop and maintain a Nathan Shock Centers Coordinating Center (NSC3). Applicants should be familiar with Nathan Shock Centers (NSC) activities, but they do not need to be part of an active Center.
Major activities of the proposed NSC3 will include improving visibility of the NSC nationally and internationally, improving collaboration and coordination among NSC, enhancing NSC training activities, facilitating the sharing of resources, and interacting with NIA and NSC to develop strategies and plans for further development. The successful application will include a proposal to improve transparency and the interactions of NSC with the research community. It should also leverage existing bioinformatics resources. Limited Submission Applications are submitted through this Sharepoint site.

Title: Nathan Shock Centers of Excellence in Basic Biology of Aging (P30 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
LOI Deadline: 9/21/2019
Application Deadline: 10/21/19
This FOA aims to provide support, including competitive renewals, for the Centers known as the Nathan Shock Centers of Excellence in Basic Biology of Aging (NSC). These Center grants will provide funding for leadership, training, and research activities that will increase and disseminate scientific knowledge in the research areas supported by the NIA's Division of Aging Biology (https://www.nia.nih.gov/research/dab).
The NSC provide intellectual leadership and innovation, training, pertinent cores focused on the needs of the field and opportunities for research career development for future leaders, both within and beyond their institutions. They also collaborate substantially with other NSCs, the NSC Coordinating Center and other NIA-funded Centers. The NSC awards are intended for institutions committed to research on the basic biology of aging, but previous funding in this area is not necessary.
