Since 2012, Brigham & Women’s Hospital has been hosting shark tanks to fund innovative and high-risk/high impact projects in the basic, clinical, digital and translational realms through its Health & Technology Innovation Awards. Sponsored by the Brigham Research Institute (BRI) and the BWH Health & Technology Subcommittee, these awards aim to advance projects that have the potential to make an impact in one or more of the following domains – biomedical research, healthcare delivery, the generation of new companies/products/services, cost savings, care quality and provider burnout. Since 2012, more than $1 million has been distributed to BWH investigators through these awards.
This year, with the generous support of the McGraw Family, this cycle’s Request for Applications includes a special track focused on advancing innovations related to solving the opioid crisis which has resulted in the loss of over 2000 lives in the past year in Massachusetts alone. Novel ideas that seek to address questions and challenges related to the opioid epidemic including, but not limited to, research on addiction, adverse effects, alternate pain management strategies, genetic susceptibility to opioid abuse, new tools for opioid research, diagnosis/treatment, management of infectious diseases related to opioid abuse, withdrawal, personalized medicine will be awarded.
Please note that this event is exclusively for Brigham and Women’s Hospital Staff and Mass General Brigham affiliates.

Sex Differences in Molecular Mechanisms of Depression: Transcriptional and Epigenetic Studies
Speaker: Eric Nestler, M.D., Ph.D., Nash Family Professor of Neuroscience, Director of the Friedman Brain Institute, and Dean for Academic and Scientific Affairs at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
Moderator: Kate Burdick, Ph.D
Talk Summary:
Depression is a common, chronic, and debilitating syndrome, which involves dysregulation throughout the brain’s limbic circuitry. Using mouse models, we have identified stable changes in gene expression within this circuitry that control vulnerability to different forms of stress and to the induction of depression-related behavioral abnormalities. In parallel studies on postmortem human tissue, we have examined transcriptional mechanisms in homologous regions in the brains of depressed individuals. A major interest in these animal and human studies is to understand sex differences in stress responses, given the greater prevalence of depression in females. Our work establishes transcriptional and chromatin regulation as important mechanisms through which a history of stress can lead to depression in vulnerable individuals, often in a sex-specific manner. Our long-term goal is to use these insights to develop improved diagnostic tests and treatments for depression and related syndromes.
About the Speaker:
Dr. Nestler is the Nash Family Professor of Neuroscience at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York, where he serves as Dean for Academic and Scientific Affairs and Director of the Friedman Brain Institute. Dr. Nestler is a member of National Academy of Medicine (1998) and a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2005). He is a past President of the American College and Neuropsychopharmacology (2011) and the society for Neuroscience (2017). He is a founder and scientific advisory board chair for PsychoGenics, a member of the Board of Directors of Berg Pharma, and the author of more than 600 publications and five books.

Event Details
Join the Office for Research Careers (ORC) to learn how to craft winning NIH grant proposals in this 3 half-day (1:00pm-4:30pm) virtual seminar series. Led by Dr. John D. Robertson of Grant Writers’ Seminars and Workshops. See full description below.
Deadline for registration: Wednesday, July 15, 2020
For trainees/faculty with primary appointments in a BWH lab only. Contact BWHORC@partners.org with questions.
Grant Writers’ Seminars & Workshops (GWSW) was founded by academicians, for academicians to help researchers obtain formal training in how to support their work with grant proposal writing.
This widely acclaimed seminar comprehensively addresses both practical and conceptual aspects that are important to the proposal-writing process. Emphasis is given to such things as idea development, identification of the most appropriate granting agency, how to write for reviewers, and tips and strategies that are of proven value in presenting an applicant’s case to reviewers. The content includes material on coping with changes in the NIH format and review process. Participants are taught to write with a linear progression of logic, which leads reviewers through their applications. It is stressed that applicants are writing for two different audiences – the assigned reviewers, who have read the application in its entirety, and non-assigned reviewers who may have read little, or nothing, of the proposal before the meeting of the review panel. Strategies designed to merit a fundable priority score are emphasized.
All participants will receive an extensive handout, as well as a copy of The Grant Application Writer’s Workbook – NIH Version, updated as of May 2020.
Dr. John Robertson holds a Doctorate in Pharmacology/Toxicology and has been an Associate Member at Grant Writers’ Seminars & Workshops since 2010. In 2017 he became the Managing Member.

Deadline for registration: Wednesday, July 15, 2020
For trainees/faculty with primary appointments in a BWH lab only. Contact BWHORC@partners.org with questions.
Grant Writers’ Seminars & Workshops (GWSW) was founded by academicians, for academicians to help researchers obtain formal training in how to support their work with grant proposal writing.
This widely acclaimed seminar comprehensively addresses both practical and conceptual aspects that are important to the proposal-writing process. Emphasis is given to such things as idea development, identification of the most appropriate granting agency, how to write for reviewers, and tips and strategies that are of proven value in presenting an applicant’s case to reviewers. The content includes material on coping with changes in the NIH format and review process. Participants are taught to write with a linear progression of logic, which leads reviewers through their applications. It is stressed that applicants are writing for two different audiences – the assigned reviewers, who have read the application in its entirety, and non-assigned reviewers who may have read little, or nothing, of the proposal before the meeting of the review panel. Strategies designed to merit a fundable priority score are emphasized.
All participants will receive an extensive handout, as well as a copy of The Grant Application Writer’s Workbook – NIH Version, updated as of May 2020.
Dr. John Robertson holds a Doctorate in Pharmacology/Toxicology and has been an Associate Member at Grant Writers’ Seminars & Workshops since 2010. In 2017 he became the Managing Member. He has been the recipient of competitive extramural funding from both the NIH and non-federal sources. He has authored 30 peer-reviewed journal articles and three book chapters. In addition, he has been a member of grant review panels, a reviewer for a number of biomedical journals, and served on editorial boards.

The BRI is going bottled-water free! As it has been stated “more than 17 million barrels of oil are required to produce enough plastic water bottles to meet America’s annual demand for bottled water” and every year, 8 million metric tons of plastics enter our ocean. We hope as an institution and department to become more environmentally friendly. We encourage other departments to do the same! Please don’t forget to bring your filled reusable water bottles to all of our BRI events. Thank you.

WHO: Mathias Pawlak, PhD, Postdoctoral Fellow
WHAT: CRISPR/Cas9 Technology – What It Can Do for Your Research
CRISPR/Cas9 technology has revolutionized basic research over the past 8 years. It has evolved in such a rapid manner that the applications of this genomic editing tool are becoming a backbone of basic research. A brief overview of the history of this technology will be provided and key components of current CRISPR/Cas9 systems will be introduced. Finally, the application of this tool to generate genetically-engineered mice and to engineer genomic loci in human iPS cells will be highlighted.
This presentation is intended for investigators who wish to take advantage of CRISPR/Cas9 technology as well as for the more experienced user interested in recent advances.
Dr. Mathias Pawlak performed his PhD thesis in the laboratory of Prof. Dr. Rudolf Jaenisch at the Whitehead Institute in the field of epigenetics, nuclear reprogramming and stem cells. He joined the laboratory of Prof. Dr. Vijay Kuchroo for postdoctoral studies in autoimmune diseases, in particular the implication of pathogenic T cells in multiple sclerosis and inflammatory bowel disease and auto-antibody producing B cells in neuromyelitis optica.
