Learn More

The history of research in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of 麻豆传媒高清 School of Medicine is rich and diverse. Seminal, historic achievements in Maternal-Fetal Medicine, Gynecologic Oncology and Reproductive Endocrinology have emanated from this institution, including but not limited to:

  • The first Maternal-Fetal Medicine fellowship training program in the world (E. Stewart Taylor and Fred Battaglia).
  • The advent of Obstetrical and Gynecologic Ultrasound (Kenneth Gottesfeld).
  • The first use of urinary estrogen as a marker of fetal well-being (Rudolph Anker, Paul Bruns, and George Betz).
  • The first studies on fetal physiology at altitude (Edward Makowski and Lorna Moore).
  • Maternal and gynecological infectious diseases (Ron Gibbs and Jamie McGregor).
  • The role of estrogen and progesterone receptor in endometrial cancer onset and progression (Kimberly Leslie).

Our basic sciences investigators and clinical researchers are fully committed to extending this tradition of research excellence. To this end, we have established research programs in all of the major subdivision of OB-GYN and some non-traditional areas, such as mammary gland biology. We have developed full-spectrum bench-to-bedside research programs in most of these areas, and have been participants in numerous clinical trials, both NIH and industry-sponsored.

We have partnered with the community to engage our patients, through the Center for Women’s Health Research and through division-based community initiatives, and we have maintained old and created new collaborative research efforts that reach into geriatrics, metabolism and endocrinology, biochemistry, molecular biology, and –omics technology. In addition to these traditional scientific efforts, we collaborate intensely with each other, and self-evaluate on a regular basis to maintain the most effective research teams possible.

Guidance on Salary Limitation for Grants and Cooperative Agreements FY 2026

NOT-OD-25-085: Effective January 1, 2025, the salary limitation for NIH is $225,700.

For active awards, including awards that have been issued in FY 2025 (continuation and new) that were restricted to Executive Level II, if adequate funds are available, and if the salary cap increase is consistent with the institutional base salary, recipients may rebudget funds to accommodate the current Executive Level II salary level.

Updated CDMRP Requirements

The Department of Defense's Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program (CDMRP) has officially adopted the NIH Common Formats for the Biographical Sketch (biosketch) and Other Support documents.

What This Means for CDMRP Applicants

  • CDMRP applicants must now use the Biosketch for senior/key personnel. This can be generated through Science Experts Network Curriculum Vitae (), while this can be completed using the manually official Common Form template we highly suggest using SciENcv鈥檚 NIH or NSF options.
  • Applicants are strongly encouraged to use SciENcv to manage and generate biosketches and other support documents. SciENcv ensures proper formatting and integration of data from trusted sources such as ORCID and eRA Commons. We do recognize that this tool is not perfect, but it is a step in the right direction.
  • Certification Requirement: When downloading forms from SciENcv, senior/key personnel must certify that their information is current, accurate, and complete, including all domestic and foreign appointments and positions.
  • NIH Timeline: NIH has postponed its implementation of the Common Forms; CDMRP is proceeding with the requirement.

Grant Writing Workshop

The objective of this course is to provide an opportunity for junior faculty, postdoctoral, and clinical fellows in the Department of OB-GYN to acquire knowledge and basic skills in grant writing.

Format: Individual mentoring + small group workshop, meets once a week for 5 weeks with writing assignments to accomplish in between meetings. Adequate time for writing (participant) and reading/providing feedback (mentor) must be available during this period.

Time: August 6 鈥 September 17. Wednesdays 4:00-5:00 pm (in person). For more information, contact Thomas Jansson (thomas.jansson@cuanschutz.edu)

Manuscript Writing Course

The OB-GYN Manuscript Writing Course will take place from October 9-20th, hosted by Hannah Dimmick, department scientific editor. The course will be held virtually, 4-5pm each Wednesday during the time period (4 sessions total).

Gift Card Programs

Helpful reminders and tips for setting up and managing gift card programs:

  • Contact our new ARC member, Charlie Graves at Charlie.Graves@CUAnschutz.edu, for questions and assistance with setting up and amending gift card programs.
  • Gift card programs require a custodian who is a single individual delegated to oversee the gift card program. Custodians must first complete the Percipio (formerly Skillsoft) 鈥淐U: Custodian Responsibilities - Gift Cards, Petty Cash, and Change Funds鈥 training.
  • When purchasing gift cards in advance, avoid an excess gift card inventory. Strive to only purchase a few weeks' worth of gift cards at a time as refunds may not be available for unused gift cards. We recommend using electronic gift cards to avoid this.
  • Consider using Tango Card Inc., a new Marketplace vendor which sends a secure email to the recipient who may then choose from dozens of gift card , including Visa, Amazon, Target, and Walmart.
  • Recipients receiving more than $100.00 per calendar year must sign a W9 form.
  • Keep all gift card receipts as they are needed to reconcile gift card programs.
  • Keep your gift card tracking log up to date.
  • Be mindful of your gift card approval period as gift cards may not be purchased or distributed outside of the approved timeframe.
  • Amendments are needed prior to executing changes to your gift card program, including changes to speedtype, start and end date, custodian, purchase amounts, card denominations, card vendor, distribution method, and location.
