News from the Department of Biomedicine
Application Deadline: 18 September 2024
CAS har en avtale med UiB som sikrer at den/de som får tilbud fra oss, får fri med lønn for å lede gruppen sin på CAS. Men før man søker må man innhente støttebrev fra nærmeste leder. Dette garanterer at enheten har budsjettmessig dekning for perioden med forskningsfri dersom søknaden innvilges. En generell erfaring fra tidligere søknadsrunder er at ellers gode søknader ofte har falt gjennom fordi man ikke har tydeliggjort hva et opphold ved CAS vil bety for prosjektet og forskerkarrieren. For å rette på dette har vi nå fått en egen kontaktperson på UiB, Jutta Schloon (jutta.schloon@uib.no), som kan bistå søkerne med informasjon om prosessen.
For andre spørsmål se https://cas-nor.no/faq. Med vennlig hilsen, på vegne av styreleder Rolf K. Reed og direktør Camilla Serck-Hanssen,

Dear colleagues,
Spring is upon us, a period that symbolizes a time of growth and hope. Our potential and hope for growth in research lies in leveraging our opportunities for external funding. Much like the natural world awakening around us this time of year, we must be awake and ready for the relevant calls ahead of us!
The Norwegian Cancer Society open call is coming up now, with deadline 28 May 2024. The call is not published yet but will be soon. We have had a steep decline in terms of the number of submitted applications from IBM the last years. So, I encourage everybody that is eligible and working with cancer research relevant to this call to apply this year.
The Research Council has announced that the call for Centre for Excellence Scheme (SFF-VI) will be published in spring 2025. It will be a two-step application process. The first application deadline is at the end of 2025, while the deadline for Phase II applications is planned for autumn 2026. The awards are scheduled to be made at the end of 2027. The Research Council will hold an open information meeting about the call during spring 2024, and there are also plans for applicant webinars once the call has been published. The faculty has developed a form where researchers are asked to describe the theme of the initiative and which partners might be considered to join the center. You will find the form at this link.
The internal deadline for submitting initiatives to the faculty through this link is set for May 15, 2024. The University of Bergen will allocate earmarked incentive funds, which will be distributed in two rounds, the first round being in the spring of 2024. SFF is a great opportunity for long term funding, either as coordinator or as participant. The competition will of course be tough, so I encourage you to actively seek partners for this call already now to be in a good position when the call is out.
Please visit this website regularly to obtain updated information about external research funding calls: Application Support for External Funding | Faculty of Medicine | UiB
The Faculty Day 2024 will be held on Wednesday, April 17th at 9 am in the auditorium of Armauer Hansen’s building – please reserve the time.

Dear all;
It has been hectic activity in our building the last days, relocating people in the different floors of the department. The administrative staff has moved from 6th floor to 7th floor, while scientific staff has been relocated according to which research unit they are belonging to. The process of moving permanent staff is now finished, while a few of the temporarily employed people (PhDs, post docs, others) still will be relocated. It must be said that the whole process has been as smooth as one can expect, and people have been showing a very positive attitude towards the whole process.
Further, I would like to highlight two ongoing projects in the INTPART programme, funded by NRC and coordinated by Scientific staff at IBM. INTPART was initiated with the aim to enhance collaboration between higher education institutions in Norway and their counterparts abroad, particularly focusing on countries of strategic importance.
The INTPART project «Partnership on Central Nervous System Malignancies» (Rolf Bjerkvig-coordinator) has participants from UiB, Shandong University (Jinan, China), Wuhan National Laboratory (China), and MD Anderson Cancer Center (Houston, TX). The overall objective is to develop outstanding research and education in Norway and abroad on malignant brain tumors. We have organized courses in tumor biology and imaging and performed staff and student exchanges between China and Norway. A 3-day final conference has just been arranged at Solstrand Fjordhotell with approximately 40 participants, focusing on courses in neuropathology, drug design, and scientific project achievements. The project finishes end of February 2024.
The INTPART project “VitaCross” (a training platform in systems medicine) has participants from UiB (Mathias Ziegler-coordinator), UiT, the University of South Alabama (Mitchell Cancer Center) and the University of Groningen (Medical Center). VitaCross organizes joint courses in systems biology, medicinal chemistry, cancer biology, computational modeling and other technologies. Two courses take place each year, as well as joint workshops and staff exchanges. Currently, we conduct a 2-week course in Bergen (at Eitri) on metabolic pathway analyses jointly with the Norwegian Research School on Bioinformatics, Biostatistics and Systems Biology (NORBIS). This project ends March 2026.
During the HMS Day at the Medical Faculty on Feb 21th, the “Work Environment Award” (Arbeidsmiljøprisen) for 2023 was awarded to Fellesavdelingen at IBM, for their outstanding efforts during the implementation of the OSKE exam. Congratulations! For more information, see https://www.uib.no/med/168779/teknisk-fellesavdeling-ved-ibm-ble-hedret-med-arbeidsmiljøpris.
Finally, this week is winter holiday, and I hope that all of you will have a nice week, whether you take a few days off, or you will be at work.
Best regards
Frits
