Hey everyone!

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving Holiday! I just wanted to send out a quick update about the Tacky Sweater Holiday Party. The event location has CHANGED due to scheduling conflicts. The event will now be held at the Chapman Center (Jacobs Hall) on PC Main Campus. The event still starts at 6 PM! Can't wait to see you all there and if anyone you know would still like to attend, tell them to bring a dish and come on!!

Lilly Innovation Fellowship Program

Fellowship opportunity for P4s

We have a posting on Trialect at www.trialect.com soliciting applications for Lilly Innovation Fellowship Program in diabetes and other areas. Recognizing that many post-doctoral training programs have not always prepared young scientists for the full spectrum of job opportunities available to them (academic, industry, biotech/start up, government, not-for-profit research), Lilly has designed this program to broaden post-doctoral scientists’ training experience. Key to the success of this program will be the establishment of a true academic-industry training partnership where the post-doctoral scientist and their academic mentor are paired with a Lilly scientist who serves as an industry mentor.

Program benefits include:

·         Full post-doctoral salary and benefits for up to four years
·         Limited post-doctoral travel support to attend scientific conferences
·         Annual payment to the university to support the post-doctoral scientist’s training
·         Relocation support when moving from the university to work at a Lilly research site
·         Participation in Lilly post-doctoral scientist development programs
·         Interaction with Lilly’s global scientific network and become part of Lilly’s community of current post-doctoral scientists and alumni

Lilly Therapeutic and Functional Areas currently participating in the LIFA program include:

·         ADME/Drug Disposition
·         Analytical / Statistical Sciences
·         Autoimmune and Inflammatory Diseases
·         Biomolecule Science & Engineering
·         Chemical Engineering
·         Diabetes
·         Diagnostics
·         Drug Delivery & Devices
·         Health Outcomes Research
·         Informatics
·         Medicinal/Discovery Chemistry
·         Neuroscience (pain, neurodegeneration)
·         Oncology
·         Pharmaceutical Sciences (biologics and small molecules)
·         Process Chemistry
·         Protein Production
·         Regulatory Sciences
·         Tailored Therapeutics (targeting therapies for the right patient with the right dose)
·         Toxicology

Please refer your fellows or junior investigators to this program. The details can be perused at:   Lilly Innovation Fellowship Program

Evaluation Competition

The evaluation completion rates as of 11/27/15 were as follows:

P1           1527/1908           80.03% 

P2           1124/2366           47.51%

P3           997/2352              42.39%

In order to earn the dress down week, a class had to have the highest completion rate as well as reach at least 85% completion by now. For this reason, we have no one qualifying for a dress down week for next week and no winner this semester.

Even so, all students should complete their teacher, course, site, and preceptor evaluations. This feedback is very important to improving your learning experience. Evaluations will remain open through the end of the semester, December 11, 2015, to allow you adequate time to complete these important measurement tools. Please take some time between now and Christmas break to do so.

I thank you all in advance!
