Office of Research and Scholarship Newsletter - December 2020 Edition! LETTER FROM ASSOCIATE PROVOST for RESEARCH and SCHOLARSHIP I am pleased to share with you our year-end edition of the UNE Research and Scholarship newsletter. As we pause to reflect on the unprecedented events of 2020, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude to all of the members of our UNE community for their dedication to our students, our colleagues and our communities. 2020 has challenged each of us in many ways, and 2021 promises new challenges and opportunities as we continue to address the public health, environmental and social justice issues of our time. This year has also given us the wonder of scientific breakthroughs leading to new clinical care guidelines and improved outcomes for patients with COVID-19. We are inspired by the discovery, development and FDA approval of novel RNA-based vaccines that bring much needed hope in this winter of COVID 19. In addition, the heroic effort to launch the largest vaccination campaign in history is breathtaking in scope. I am proud that members of the UNE community are involved in many aspects of the pandemic response, further testament to our commitment to our patients and our communities. At UNE, all of our faculty scholars are also teachers. I continue to be inspired by the passion, creativity and innovation they display every day in their classrooms, their laboratories, in field research and clinical care settings, all while focusing on the health and safety of our community. In this edition of our newsletter, you will read about how we continue to adapt our research operations in concert with ongoing COVID-19 safety protocols, and how our faculty continue to create new knowledge and scholarly opportunities for our students who share our passion for discovery. Despite the diverse challenges imposed by the pandemic, our scholars continue to publish papers, books and other academic works and have maintained a high rate of extramural grant submissions. Our faculty have found new ways to collect and analyze data, and to build and sustain scholarly communities with colleagues and students. I hope you enjoy this edition of our newsletter, and on behalf of my team in the UNE Office of Research and Scholarship, I wish you all a safe and peaceful holiday season.
