New Rome Research Development Grant – Apply Now
The Center for Italian Studies is pleased to announce the creation of a new faculty research funding source, the “Rome Research Development Grant.”
The opportunity, developed as part of Notre Dame Global’s Network of Research Development grants, was created with the aim of deepening institutional and research connections between Notre Dame Rome and partners in Italy by supporting the convening of strategic meetings in one of two ways.
Applicants have the option of establishing new opportunities for collaboration or strengthening existing ties at Notre Dame Rome, or, alternatively, applicants have the option of bringing collaborators from the locale of Notre Dame Rome to South Bend, with the goal of enhancing collaborators’ overall understanding of the University. Examples of possible partner institutions based in Rome include The Museum of the Forma Urbis, La Sapienza University, and The Vatican Library.
This opportunity exists to support the research of all full-time regular faculty members of Notre Dame and is open to all disciplines. Funding requests can be made up to $10,000. The deadline for submissions is November 4th, 2024 at 11:59pm (EST). For detailed information on submitting a proposal, application requirements and further information on eligible funding expenses please visit Notre Dame Global’s site here.

- Network biology connects the dots for human healthNetworks form the backbone of transportation infrastructure, communication systems, and even the neurons in our brains. When computational scientists map data points into networks—quite literally connecting the dots—the patterns they reveal can provide significant insights. In network biology, computational and biological scientists collaborate to find the patterns in abundant and complex molecular and biomedical data. They use graph algorithms, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to model biological mechanisms, including those underlying cancer and aging. “Similar to a car manual, networks show you the relationship between the parts,” said Tijana Milenkovic, network biology expert and Frank M. Freimann Collegiate Professor of Engineering in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Notre Dame. “You see how each part of a biological system—gene, protein, neuron—contributes to the system’s overall performance and what happens if a part fails or is removed.” In a paper published in Bioinformatics Advances, Milenkovic and 36 other researchers from over 25 universities and labs chart a comprehensive roadmap for network biology’s current state and future directions.
