Montana CTRC Video to be Featured at APHA Meeting In D.C.

The American Public Health Association (APHA) found out about the NIH-funded Montana CTRC, and asked if they could make a video of CTRC's project to be featured at the upcoming APHA annual meeting in D.C. in a few weeks. The video shows how the 91次元 is engaging with healthcare and public health partners across our state through research and workforce development initiatives. Only five projects received this honor nationwide, and therefore it is thrilling Montana CTRC will be recognized at their 10,0000 person conference.

UM Launches Heart & Soul Connections Student Resource Hub

The College of Humanities and Social Sciences has launched Heart & Soul Connections, a new student resource hub designed to provide comprehensive support services and demonstrate the College’s commitment to being the heart and soul of campus. The initiative represents a partnership with ASUM Bear Necessities, and they have already generated a more than five-fold increase in student contacts. Heart & Soul Connections offers students free snacks and meals, including favorites like mac and cheese and soup through the UM Food Pantry’s Catering Cupboard program. Beyond food assistance, Heart & Soul Connections links students with essential campus and community resources such as TRIO programs and SNAP benefits. They feature rotating guest services, such as staff from the Dean of Students office and Mansfield Library joining the space to offer additional support. Students can access information about campus resources and receive free academic supplies like blue books and scantrons.

Scott Wetzel Participates in Rally for Medical Research

The American Association of Immunologists (AAI) and the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) invited Scott Wetzel to participate in the Rally for Medical Research Capitol Hill Day on September 18. This event brought almost 400 patient advocates, clinicians and researchers to Washington D.C. to advocate for continued federal support for the National Institutes of Health in meetings with Congress members and their staff. A proposed 40% cut to the NIH budget would deal a devastating blow to medical research in the US and halt development of many life-saving medical treatments. The impact of these cuts would also significantly damage the economy the state of Montana. In FY24, the NIH awarded $49 million in grants and contracts in Montana that directly supported 663 jobs and $129 million in economic activity.
