ASBMR Updates & Announcements
 The Society is sad to announce the passing of member Dr. Silvano Adami. Dr. Adami was the Director of Rheumatology at the Azienda Ospedaliera Universitaria Integrata in Verona, Italy. He was a friend and colleague to many, a long-time participant of the ASBMR Annual Meetings, and past contributor to the Primer on the Metabolic Bone Diseases and Disorders of Mineral Metabolism. Dr. Adami was also a founder and Past-President on the Italian Society for Osteoporosis and Metabolic Skeletal Disorders.
Throughout his career, Dr. Adami provided seminal contributions to our understanding of the pathogenesis, diagnosis and therapy of osteoporosis and other metabolic bone disorders, and functioned as lead investigator of many large-scale trials on osteoporosis medications. He was a relentless advocate for implementation of programs for fracture prevention in Italy and in Europe, and a passionate, insightful, and determined clinician and researcher. Silvano was a role model and a dear friend to those who have had the privilege of working with him; his gentle smile and demeanor will be greatly missed, along with his acumen and deep knowledge of our field. We invite you to leave a note or share a memory of Dr. Adami on the ASBMR community page.

 The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Extramural Research will be offering two Regional Seminars on Program Funding and Grants Administration in 2016. These two day seminars, with optional workshop days, are taking place in Baltimore, MD, USA (May 11-13) and Chicago, IL, USA (Oct. 26-28). The program is geared towards new investigators and extramural research administrators wanting to learn more about the NIH grants application and award processes.
These seminars offer a unique opportunity for attendees to interact with over 60 NIH program, review, grants and policy officials in one location, who are eager to share their expertise and answer questions. There are over 45 different topics to choose from, plus more in-depth opportunities during an optional pre-seminar workshop day on topics such as Human Subjects Research Protections (CME Accredited Course), Intellectual Property, and electronic Research Administration. To learn how to register, please visit the NIH Regional Seminars on Program Funding and Grants Administration home page.
 Registration is now open for the Bone Research Society Annual Meeting 2016, June 29 – July 1 in Liverpool, UK. This year’s annual meeting will debut several public engagement activities with local school children, in addition to the networking opportunities and high quality science for which the meeting is renowned.
 The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) Director, Stephen I. Katz, speaks on the increase in the salary and cost allowances for K08 and K23 Career Development Awards to be implemented by NIAMS this fiscal year, and other ways that NIH and NIAMS are committed to supporting the next generation of clinical researchers. He says, “New and early-stage investigators play a critical role in ensuring the continuity of research progress in the Institute’s research areas, and supporting them is a vital part of our mission.” Read the full letter on the NIAMS website.
