News & Events
We are contemplating how to make this section of the website useful to visitors. We are going to start by listing a few stable resources that provide access to current information and events relevant to researchers. The concept may evolve and change in the future.
Funding Deadlines
This is a useful resource from the University of British Columbia Office Of Research Services. It is generally a chore to keep track of application deadlines for the various funding calls. This page lists the upcoming deadlines by month. While it includes many calls relevant only to researchers resident in British Columbia, there are listings for national and international grants in this list.
Information Society Newsroom
This is Europe’s Information Society Thematic Portal. It is a current listing of EU funding opportunities, press releases, latest news and forthcoming events.
Health Informatics Blog
Crystal Sharp's blog (Musing About Health Informatics) contains occasional musings on how information is used to manage health and how information, that can have an impact on health or perceptions of health, is communicated to stakeholders in terms of the content, the format and the delivery. As technology plays a huge part in collecting, monitoring, storing, analyzing, presenting and delivering information, the blog discusses new reports, policies and other resources that can help us better understand, employ and measure the impact of new technological developments in healthcare management.
