Students recently inducted in the newly created Van Liere Research Society
This society was created with robust support from Drs. Clay Marsh and Laura F. Gibson who recognized the need for a support network for young researchers interested in research beyond medical school. This network will hopefully strengthen relationships between future researchers and provide a nucleus around which to keep a working group of young clinical scientists engaged.

National Science Foundation Partnerships For Innovation: Building Innovation Capacity
The Partnerships for Innovation: Building Innovation Capacity (PFI:BIC) program supports academe-industry partnerships which are led by an interdisciplinary academic research team collaborating with a least one industry partner. In this program, there is a heavy emphasis on the quality, composition, and participation of the partners, including their appropriate contributions. These partnerships focus on the integration of technologies into a specified human-centered service system with the potential to achieve transformational benefits, satisfying a real need by making an existing service system smart(er) or by spurring the creation of an entirely new smart service system. The selected service system should function as a test bed. The research components to be included in this project are: 1) engineered system design and integration; 2) computing, sensing, and information technologies; and 3) human factors, behavioral sciences, and cognitive engineering. The proposer must show how these components will be integrated in the context of the project as part of the research plan.
