Throughout the next few weeks, the UofL Human Resources department is going to come to you.

Additional Information: Website EVPRI Internal Grants hiatus
Jouett Hall Room 202
Given the University budget shortfall for FY17, the EVPRI Office must dramatically reduce the operating budget for FY2017 and FY2018. Therefore, regrettably, although there had been a prior call for proposals for the March 27 deadline, the call for proposals for Internal Grants has been cancelled. No Internal Grants program proposals will be funded for the foreseeable future, at least until Fall 2017. Additional Information: Kathy Ward, 852-8373 Interim President Postel to hold open forums next week
Dr. Greg Postel will hold open forums on both the Belknap and HSC campuses to provide updates on the 2017-18 budget. He will open the floor so all faculty and staff can have input into the process. The forums will be held:
H-indexes, impact factors and funding sources updates
Web of Science is a multidisciplinary database that UofL has had a subscription to for many years. Recent updates include author h-indexes, journal impact factors and funding sources along with its more traditional use as a citation index. Librarians will be happy to help you explore these newer features to this database, which is publisher-independent and has high selection standards for its content.
