CSDE ANNOUNCEMENTS & SPOTLIGHTS
CSDE Terminal Server TS3 Replacement Next Week
====SUMMARY====SUMMARY====SUMMARY====
The current CSDE-TS3 system will be replaced with a new Windows 2003 terminal
server on Wednesday, July 22st 2009. The current CSDE-TS3 server will be shut
down at 10:30 pm on Wednesday, 7/22/2009.
The new CSDE-TS3 server will be online and be operational by noon on
Thurs 7/23/2009. An announcement will be made when the new TS3 is ready for
your use.
This effort will complete the 2009 trio of Terminal Server upgrades
TS1, TS2, and TS3 are all now the same hardware and operating system version
and have roughly the same software installed on each.
====ANNOUNCEMENT====ANNOUNCEMENT====ANNOUNCEMENT====
CSDE-TS3 has been in service for several years and has seen heavy use. A replacement
machine has already been purchased and has been in configuration and test since
early July. The new machine has
64GB of memory and 16 core CPUs; the same capacity of the new TS 1/2. It will
be running Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Datacenter Edition. The end result
will be a much faster, more useful system.
CSDE computing requests that users of TS3 make sure that any files stored
directly on the TS3 hard drive (i.e. on the Desktop of TS3, C: and D: drives)
be moved to the user's H: drive. There
will be a limited capacity to restore files from the old Terminal server after
the system has been replaced. If you have setting that are very important to
you to migrate over to a new terminal server, please contact csde_help@u and let
us know as soon as possible so that we can assist you in the migration of the
data. Please be specific about which application's settings (e.g. MS Outlook,
Firefox, IE, Thunderbird) you need to migrate.
If you have any questions about this, or need further clarification about where
your files should be stored, please contact csde_help@u.washington.edu.

FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES
Mechanisms Underlying the Links between Psychosocial Stress, Aging, the Brain and the Body (R01)
(PA-09-216)
National Institute on Aging
National Cancer Institute
National Institute of Mental Health
Application Receipt/Submission Date(s): Multiple dates, see announcement.
This FOA encourages multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research to
elucidate the mechanistic links between psychosocial stress and health in
aging, as well as how the aging process and age-related diseases affect the
responses to psychosocial stressors. Generally, research should be
focused on (1) aging and how neural mechanisms respond to psychosocial stress
and affect other body systems, (2) characterizing the behavioral, psychological
and social mechanisms and pathways involved in transducing psychosocial
stressors into health outcomes, (3) how stressors modulate physiological
process underlying life-span, immune mechanisms, and metabolism, and (4) how
psychosocial stress contributes to the development or progression of geriatric
syndromes, chronic medical conditions, and disabilities in later life. Research
is strongly encouraged that aims to identify appropriate targets for
intervention, at any level of analysis, from societal to molecular. Research
spanning multiple levels of analysis is particularly encouraged. Research
focused on oxidative stress or on environmental or physical stressors of a
non-psychosocial nature is not appropriate to this FOA.

UW Human Subjects Division Announces New Policy on Paying Research Subjects
Researchers and the UW IRB have expressed concerns about the requirement
to ask research subjects for their Social Security number in order to
pay subjects for participating in research. The policy has been revised,
effective immediately, as follows:
When a onetime payment of $50 or less is being made to a research
subject, the requirement to obtain a Social Security number is waived.
However, the University of Washington strongly encourages researchers to
request Social Security numbers for all research subject payments.
For research subjects who are known to be foreign nationals: Tax
identification numbers should always be obtained for foreign nationals
regardless of the dollar amount.
More information about this policy and other recent HSD announcements
are here.

practitioners, and we particularly seek the participation of those who seek to
link research and policy. One panel will be specifically dedicated to graduate
student work. Plenary speakers will include leading labor scholars and
