Feedback Sought on Cephalopod Care and Use
Cephalopods are aquatic invertebrate animals that include octopuses, squid, cuttlefish, and nautiluses. Earlier this month, we released a Request for Information (NOT-OD-23-176) seeking public input on the humane care and use of laboratory cephalopods at Assured institutions. The proposed guidance acknowledges the evidence suggesting these animals would benefit from oversight, but also that there are not yet specific care and use standards to allow them to be regulated under the Public Health Service Policy for the Humane Care and Use of Laboratory Animals (PHS Policy). Instead, the U.S. Government Principles p...

HEAL Initiative: Translational Development of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Devices (R18 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Funding Opportunity RFA-EB-22-002 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to develop clinical-grade prototypes intended for use as safe, effective, and non-addictive device-based technologies and approaches to treat pain. The goal of the program is to demonstrate treatment using credible neural targets for device-based interventions and/or diagnostics for pain, building upon the latest mechanistic knowledge about the anatomy and physiology of central, spinal, and peripheral pathways involved in pain. Awarded activities will facilitate the translation of ...

Year in Reflection 2018
Suppose I offer you a bet based on a coin toss: you win $150
if the coin lands on heads, but you lose $100 if the coin lands on tails. Will you take the bet? Think for a second before reading on.
If you think this through objectively, of course you should
take the bet. There’s a 50% chance you
will win $150 and a 50% chance you will lose $100 – the “expected value” of taking
the bet is that you’ll be ahead by $25.
(Here’s the math: 0.50*150 + 0.50*(-100) = 75 – 50 = 25).
Yet the reality is that most people (maybe you too?) will
decline. Most people consider the hurt
