by Jey Koehler May 13, 2024

May 13, 2024

For any mid-career investigators with a budding interest or existing expertise in pathology of non-human primate models, please see below from the NIH NIA. There is a very specialized upcoming K18 FOA that may be of interest. For those outside the United States, please forgive the alphabet soup of acronyms that mean nothing to you! Jey Koehler, DVM, PhD, Dipl. ACVP Professor and Tyler & Frances Young Endowed Chair in Pathology Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine President, Davis-Thompson Foundation www.davisthompsonfoundation.org<http://www.davisthompsonfoundation.org/> From: Nguyen, Carol (NIH/NIA/ERP) [E] <carol.nguyen(a)nih.gov> Sent: Thursday, May 9, 2024 12:56 PM To: Jey Koehler <jaw0007(a)auburn.edu> Subject: [EXT] National Institute on Aging Intends to Publish a Funding Opportunity for K18 Career Enhancement Awards for Mid-career Investigators with Expertise in Human and/or NHP Studies CAUTION: Email Originated Outside of Auburn. Dear Dr. Koehler - We're writing to let you know that the National Institute on Aging intends to publish an RFA with targeted funding to facilitate cross-training and skill development of mid-career investigators with existing expertise in human and/or nonhuman primate (NHP) studies. This funding opportunity is intended to expand the community of researchers in comparative primate research, with a specific focus on enhancing the investigator's capability to lead studies to elucidate the bases for primate species differences in life span and age-related conditions. This interdisciplinary collaboration for mentored training is expected to be mutually beneficial, providing both the mentor and applicant with a broadened research scope, as well as expanded networks for future collaboration and resource access. We think that this opportunity may be of interest to some researchers at the Davis-Thompson Foundation, as either mid-career applicants or as supporting mentors with expertise in the areas of interest. We would appreciate any advice and/or help you could provide us in making your colleagues aware of this upcoming potential funding opportunity. If you or your colleagues would like to learn more about this opportunity, additional information can be found in the recently published NOITP linked below: NOT-AG-24-016<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files…> - Notice of Intent to Publish (NOITP) a Funding Opportunity Announcement for Mentored Career Enhancement Awards to Build Cross-Disciplinary Knowledge and Skills for Comparative Studies of Human and Nonhuman Primate Species with Differing Life Spans (K18) Please feel free to share this information and to contact us with any questions you may have regarding this NOITP.

Davis-Thompson Foundation Newsletter May 2024
by Francisco Alejandro Uzal May 1, 2024

May 1, 2024

Dear colleagues It is my pleasure to welcome you to the May issue of the Davis-Thompson Foundation newsletter, with the compliments, as usual, of our outstanding managing editors Jeann Leal and Javier Asin. As usual, this issue comes with information on myriad training opportunities around the world, in several languages. Remember that two of our "Big 4", CLIIC and POLA are coming soon and registration is open. POLA and our Descriptive Veterinary Pathology Course are also offered in Europe this year. Please see below the words of the Foundation's President, Dr Jey Koehler about our Descriptive Veterinary Pathology course: "This year, our beloved Descriptive Veterinary Pathology course will be transformed into Foundations of Pathology. The course will have a three-day virtual component in September and two half days of in-person instruction at the ACVP meeting in Seattle. While some of the material will remain the same, there will be new material as well and all will be aimed at the early stage trainee. We highly recommend that this course be taken by first-year residents. Topics will include introduction to evaluating and describing gross, microscopic, and ultrastructural lesions, interpreting IHC/ISH and molecular testing, as well as study techniques, structuring study during your residency, networking with other trainees, understanding the role of self-assessments, and more! Due to reduced travel costs for lecturers, we will be offering this course for much less than the in-person DVP. The tuition will be a flat rate of $400, which will cover both the virtual and in-person components (sorry, no, they cannot be separated). Scholarships will be available, with priority placed on those in training programs in under-resourced countries. Attendance at the in-person component is limited to 40 people due to prior arrangements with the meeting hotel. Be sure to watch our social media accounts, the website events page, and of course the newsletter and listserv announcements to know when registration will begin! We are so excited to bring this new course to you." Looking forward to seeing everyone in one of our seminars. Kind regards, Francisco Uzal, DVM, MSc, PhD, Dipl. ACVP Chief Executive Officer Davis-Thompson Foundation Ph: 951 751 0027 E-mail: fauzal(a)ucdavis.edu<mailto:fauzal@ucdavis.edu> www.davisthompsonfoundation.org<https://www.davisthompsonfoundation.org/> [https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1oticUQZYjDPU-1vMA4wHKvLb2SScHV-J]

Now with VSPO/WSC down, have you tried Noah's SlideBox?
by Bruce Williams March 20, 2024

March 20, 2024

First of all - this is NOT an opportunistic grab for visitors to Noah's Slidebox (I'll bet you didn't know that the JPC also puts together Noah's Slidebox with some of our very close Foundation friends.) (We have always envisioned Noah's Slidebox to be complementary to VSPO/WSC - we didn't really think it would be the only free slide collection available - and hopefully that is very temporary.) So when you use Noah's Slidebox ( https://davisthompsonfoundation.org/available-slide-conferences/) - you aren't being disloyal - it's still us putting all sorts of free stuff out there (and thank you for everything you do scanning and organizing all these slides, Kelsey Fiddes!) If you want to use Noah's Slidebox, like you do VSPO/WSC - yes, it is VERY searchable. On the NS page ( https://davisthompsonfoundation.org/available-slide-conferences/) just click on "View/Search All Slides" (its the second header on that page. When it takes you to the next page ("Digital Slide Archive), just enter your search word(s) into the Searrch box at the upper left and it will pop up your matches which you can click on. The WSI button loads the wholeslide, the Writeup button loads up the full writeup on the slide in a .pdf document, and the Details button gives you a very brief signalment and history if you are looking for something very particular. We will know more about the timeline for restoration of the wholeslides to VSPO/WSC in the coming week. And while you are using Noah's Slidebox - thank Mike Dark at the Univ. of Florida for his wonderful programming of the site - (Mike, we are in the big time now!) -- Bruce Williams Chief Financial Officer Davis-Thompson Foundation 301 467-4024 bruce.williams(a)davisthompsonfoundation.org www.davisthompsonfoundation.org

From the JPC - VSPO/WSC wholeslide server crashed this weekend
by Bruce Williams March 19, 2024

March 19, 2024

From the JPC - The company that provides data storage, service and backup for the JPC's VSPO and WSC reported a catastrophic server failure this weekend, which has taken the server offline. The company has sent the disk array to a data recovery service to see how much if, any, of the 2900+ wholeslides are recoverable. While the text for each entity is still available, the wholeslides are not. We have been given an estimate of 3-5 business days to find out how much, if any can be recovered. We are understand how important these slides are to training programs all over the world. We will update the timeline to restore these slides as we have additional information. Bruce Williams, DMV Senior Pathologist Joint Pathology Center
