The "Institute of Translational Health Sciences" (ITHS) was funded through the NIH Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA). The ITHS brings together scientists at the University of Washington, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Children’s Hospital and Regional Medical Center, Group Health Center for Health Studies, Benaroya Research Institute and other partner institutions in the Puget Sound region and in the WWAMI states to advance and transform clinical and translational research.
The ITHS is pleased to announce the opportunity to apply for modest "technology and resources access" grants. These grants will cover costs associated with the provision of services to you through an ITHS-approved facility core, shared resource, or cost center.

Washington Sea Grant announces an exciting opportunity to help shape the future of Washington's ocean and coastal policies. The Marc Hershman Marine Policy Fellowship offers graduate students a first-hand experience in crafting marine and natural resource policies. Beginning October 2009, two qualified students will spend nine months working in Olympia with Washington State Ocean Caucus agencies.*
Graduate students who attend Washington universities and are enrolled in a marine-related field, including policy, law, social sciences, oceanography and fishery sciences, are encouraged to apply. Fellows may be involved in working on marine policy questions from a variety of scientific, legal, social or economic perspectives. Among the issues identified for 2009 Fellows are climate change adaptation and preparation, Washington coastal hazards, renewable ocean energy, marine debris and harmful algal blooms.
