Crime Victims Compensation
Training Opportunity Solicitation
The Office of Claims and Appeals administers Kentucky’s VOCA-funded crime victims compensation program and would like to invite you to attend one of their upcoming trainings. Completion of this 2-hour training would satisfy your agency’s CVC training requirement.
Trainings last approximately two hours and covers the entire CVC claims process. Topics of discussion include claim and Claimant eligibility, compensable and non-compensable expenses, caps on award amounts, reasons behind claim reductions or dismissals, the claims process itself, appeal rights, and a discussion on the Sexual Assault Examination Program.

NIH All of Us Research Program
UK is part of a national network of university CTSAs that has received an NIH grant to support researchers and students to access and analyze data from the NIH All of Us Research Program. Funded by NIH, the purpose of the All of Us program is to establish a cohort of over 1 million participants who represent the rich diversity of the U.S. population. Nearly 500,000 participants have already completed health, environmental and psychosocial surveys and have donated biosamples; nearly 400,000 have permitted access to EHR data. Greater than 80% of participants are persons underrepresented in biomedical research including over half who are from historically minoritized racial and ethnic groups. Supported by the NIH All of Us grant, the team at UK includes researchers, a data manager and a statistician who are available to assist anyone interested in using the data.
The team would like to identify opportunities to present information about the NIH All of Us Research Program to students, researchers and clinical faculty who could benefit from learning about and potentially using the database. Please let us know if there are student groups, classes, research faculty or clinical faculty who may be interested and we will be glad to arrange a presentation or one-on-one meetings, whichever would work best. We would also be glad to consider other methods that would support spreading the word about this rich resource.
The NIH All of Us team’s data manager and analyst have virtual office hours from 12pm – 1 pm the second and fourth Monday of each month. Anyone can join using the following Zoom link: https://us05web.zoom.us/j/84328724486?pwd=kyRN3RxqbV1f2HTYNdMDRIoyE5F1kb.1
For additional questions about the NIH All of Us program or to arrange a presentation or similar, contact the UK All of Us grant Program Manager, Lynn Warneke (Lynn.Warneke@uky.edu).
If you would like CPH to host a presentation on this topic, please let us know via the research office email cphresearch@uky.edu

Early Stage Investigator and Innovation/High Impact Pilot Funding Awards
The CCTS is now accepting applications for two types of pilot funding awards. Within the general guidelines outlined below, the types of projects that will be considered within these funding mechanisms include projects that:
- Promote translational science
- Provide support for early career investigators.
- Stimulate the development of new clinical and translational inter- and multidisciplinary teams.
- Promote community-based research.
- Develop new methodologies to leverage institutional strengths and new initiatives.
- Pursue high-risk, high reward studies.
EARLY STAGE INVESTIGATOR PILOT AWARD
This award is intended to support pilot studies by early stage investigators (NIH definition- see below) to obtain preliminary data for an extramural grant submission. The maximum award will be $25,000 which must be spent over 12 months. This award is only open to investigators in the early stage of their career, or investigators who are transitioning into a new area. Applicants must identify a mentor to assist with the investigator’s training.
INNOVATION AND HIGH IMPACT PILOT AWARD
This award is for investigators at all stages of career development; early career, midlevel, and senior investigators, and is intended to stimulate innovation and to support pilot studies that will lead to extramural funding. The total award is limited to $50,000 which must be spent over 12 months.
Letters of Intent due Aug. 16, 2023
Full Application due October 12, 2023
