News & EventsCTSI Pilot Projects AwardedThe Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) has selected 19 pilot projects for funding. Pooling of the resources of the College of Medicine, Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences, the Social Science Research Institute, and the Institute for CyberScience enabled support of a larger-than-anticipated number of projects, reflecting the strong commitment of CTSI and the other Institutes to supporting innovative and collaborative translational research. The projects involve 57 faculty members at both campuses that span nine colleges. Thanks to all those faculty who submitted proposals—the projects reflect Penn State’s depth and diversity of research. Virtual School of Computational Science and EngineeringGraduate students from all disciplines and institutions across the country can learn more about scaling applications for emerging petascale computing systems and using many-core graphics processors to accelerate applications during two FREE summer school courses offered by the Virtual School of Computational Science and Engineering. More information ICS DayOn Friday, February 20, 2009, the Institute for CyberScience hosted "ICS Day", a workshop geared toward community building, information exchange, and networking. The event began with opening remarks from Dr. Eva J. Pell, Sr. Vice President for Research and Dean of the Graduate School. The three plenary speakers were Dr. Douglass Post, Chief Scientist, Department of Defense
High Performance Computing /and Modernization Office; Dr. Thomas Russell, Program Director, National Science Foundation Applied Mathematics and Computational Mathematics Division of Mathematical Sciences; and Dr. Jennifer Couch, Chief of the Structural Biology and Molecular Applications Branch at the National Cancer Institute, Division of Cancer Biology. The remainder of the afternoon consisted of lunch and a poster/networking session where attendees could show their research and interact with each other and the speakers.
