Call for nominations for Chancellor's Academic Outreach Award (From Carole Myers, Chair) On behalf of the Chancellor, the University’s Council on Academic Outreach and Engagement is soliciting nominations for the Chancellor's Academic Outreach Award that recognizes excellence in academic outreach by faculty. The academic outreach award will be presented to the faculty member at the Chancellor's Awards Banquet in April 9, 2012. The Academic Outreach Award recognizes extraordinary contributions of faculty to the public that occur as an outgrowth of academic pursuits and are related to the University's academic mission. The faculty award is based on demonstrated outstanding contributions to the public stemming from the academic expertise of the nominee. Deadline: February 8, 2013 Details: http://chancellor.utk.edu/honorsbanquet/nominations/outreach.shtml 5. 2013 Public Service Award Nominations Each year the University of Tennessee Alumni Association provides funds for an Alumni Public Service Award of $2,000 to the Knoxville campus. The purpose of the award is to recognize individuals for outstanding achievement in public service and through this recognition, to stimulate the growth and development of the University’s public service role. All full-time faculty and exempt staff of the University are eligible except previous winners and those who primary job responsibilities are in public service. Deadline: Monday, February 25, 2013 Details: Please see attached 6. Call for Papers: Frontiers of Informed Consent Informed, autonomous consent is widely considered to be central to the ethics of human subjects research. However, it remains both conceptually and practically underspecified. A conceptually clear account of informed consent that is appropriate to the broad array of human subjects research, from medical to social science, has been elusive. Moreover, it has proven to be difficult to operationalize informed consent in practice. These challenges to the ethics of informed consent have been compounded by the globalization of research and rapid technological developments. This interdisciplinary workshop will bring together practitioners and theorists at the leading edge of the ethics of informed consent to share their research and discuss the future of informed consent. The workshop is designed to be highly interactive, and to provide speakers with constructive feedback from colleagues working on related issues. Deadline: May 1, 2013 Details: http://www.northeastern.edu/ethics/workshop/call-for-papers/ 7.

In Troubled Times, a Democratic Revival (Huffington Post, 1/23/2013) " The Dream Freedom Revival and Imagining America represent a renewed commitment to one of higher education's most important and yet recently neglected roles in our society: to function as a civic as well as economic engine, a force for bringing people from all walks of life together in collaborative work. To address serious economic challenges in a new global economy, Imagining America believes we need to leaven technical expertise with a spirit that awakens people's sense of themselves as civic actors -- a spirit that respects and taps the expertise and knowledge of everyone, whether they have a college degree or not.

(Unite for Sight - hat-tip #CCPH) “In addition to providing the community with important results, it is also essential that data be submitted since those who participate in research often face risks and give up precious time; therefore, they are entitled to the results. “No group should be deprived of its fair share of the benefits of research, short-term or long-term; such benefits include the direct benefits of participation as well as the benefits of the new knowledge that the research is designed to yield.” Read More: http://www.uniteforsight.org/global-health-university/research-local-community QUICK LINKS: ENGAGEMENT FUNDING, SUBMISSION CALLS, CONFERENCES, AND MORE: January 2013: * Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Announces $200,000 Games Challenge.
