The first course, Introduction to the Life Sciences Industry, will be offered Monday and Wednesday evenings Sept. 19-28 for $99. The session will be taught by Steve Bryant, director of the Bloomington Life Sciences Partnership. Applications for the complete certificate program will be accepted after the introductory class is completed.

Biomedical Entrepreneur Network meeting Sept. 13 "Do I have a product or company?" will be the topic of the next meeting of the Indiana Biomedical Entrepreneur Network on Tuesday, Sept. 13. Speakers will be Chad Barden, president and CEO of QuadraSpec Inc., and Teri Willey, managing partner of Arch Development Partners. Registration will begin at 5 p.m. and the program will start at 5:30 p.m. at the University Place Hotel and Conference Center on the IUPUI campus. The program is free, but space is limited so register early at http://www.indianabionetwork.org. The registration deadline is Friday, Sept. 9. The Indiana Biomedical Entrepreneur Network promotes information sharing and networking for biomedical entrepreneurs. Library site assists researchers with NIH request Since May 2, the National Institutes of Health has requested that NIH-funded investigators submit an electronic version of their final revised manuscripts to the National Library of Medicine's PubMed Central repository upon acceptance for publication. To help school investigators understand the process, the Ruth Lilly Medical Library has created an informative web page, which is at http://www.medlib.iupui.edu/nihopenaccess/nihopenaccess.html. This policy applies to manuscripts resulting from currently funded NIH research projects or previously supported NIH research projects if manuscripts are accepted for publication on or after May 2, 2005. This includes all research grant and career development award mechanisms, cooperative agreements, contracts, institutional and individual Ruth L. Kirschstein National Service Awards, as well as NIH intramural research studies.
The policy does not apply to book chapters, letters to the editor, reviews, editorials and conference proceedings. NIH encourages investigators to authorize public release of submitted articles immediately after the journal publication date. However, the release date depends on the journal's copyright policy. In the NLM submission process, the principal investigator authorizes the date (up to one year) when the manuscript becomes publicly accessible on PubMedCentral. My View on relationship-centered care This past week, IUSM hosted "Enhancing the Professional Culture of Schools of Medicine," the nation's first conference focused on assessing and improving the organizational environment and culture of academic medical centers. The goal is to understand how to produce caring, compassionate physicians. Teams from seven medical schools across the U.S. and one from Canada fanned out across the IUSM campus to observe and discuss the influences of the "hidden" or informal curriculum on the formation of students to be physicians. Thomas Inui, MD, president and CEO of Regenstrief Institute Inc. and associate dean for Health Care at IUSM, shared with Indianapolis Star readers in a My View column, how relationship-centered care can impact medical care and teaching. His letter to the editor can be found at online at the Indy Star. Scope to be published on Fridays, copy deadline changes Beginning Sept. 2, Scope will be emailed to faculty, staff, residents and students on Friday afternoons. By distributing the IUSM official newsletter at the end of the week, readers will have more time to absorb the content and plan for the week ahead. With the change in publication, the deadline for Scope copy will be modified. Copy must be received by 8:30 a.m. Thursday for inclusion in the following day s issue. There are three easy ways to submit story ideas or information to Scope: e-mail the information to mhardin@iupui.edu mail the information to Mary Hardin, Z-7, Ste. 306, IUPUI fax the information to (317) 278-8722 Contributions submitted by e-mail should be forwarded in 12 point, plain text format. In the interest of accuracy, please avoid: acronyms abbreviations campus building codes (use full, proper name of building and include the room number) Dr. as a preface before names (designate MD or PhD) If you have questions about a submission, call 274-7722. If you would like to receive Scope, send your name, department and email address to mhardin@iupui.edu. Annual Faculty Survey available online
The 2005 Faculty Annual Summary Report (ASR) now is available and should be completed by all regular faculty members who were active faculty during the past academic year (2004-2005). The deadline for submission is Friday, Sept. 2. Primary changes this year include: On-line help has been added, including buttons with More Information and See Examples on each page. In addition, pop-up boxes with definitions are available throughout the forms. Graduate, medical school and undergraduate course teaching has been consolidated into one Course section. All information related to a course (such as lecture, course administration, mentoring, curriculum development) will be captured within this section. Clinical service roles, such as hospital committees, clinical administration, etc., have been added throughout the survey. Macintosh PCs will no longer be supported in this application; insufficient resources make it impossible to do so during this reporting period. Microsoft will end support for Internet Explorer on Macintosh PCs in December 2005. Past information provided in the Faculty ASR has been beneficial to the development of the 3D faculty effort model, and this year s data is expected to provide aggregate information for legislators, central university management and hospitals to support the ongoing success of IUSM s educational endeavors. The survey is available at https://technology.iusm.iu.edu/asrv4/login.asp. Contact Erik Cornet at finaff@iupui.edu with problems or questions about accessing the survey.
