Update NHMRC & ARC profiles to include 'Bacteriophage' interest


Updated: 13th December, 2019
Hi SIG Members,

With grant season upon us I wanted to write a very brief post to encourage you all to update your RGMS (and more recently Sapphire) and RMS research profiles to include 'Bacteriophage' as a key research area. This was a suggestion from multiple SIG members to improve the quality of grant reviews, as many reviewers were non-phage experts.

In RGMS you can do this by logging in, selecting "My Profile & CV", then selecting "Edit my Profile and CV" and then selecting your RGMS profile. From here click the drop down menu under 'Properties' and select "Pro-RE: Research Interests" and then add in 'Bacteriophage' as a research keyword.

Update: To further nominate for a Panel Member again under the "Edit my Profile and CV" option, select your RGMS profile, from here click the drop down menu and select "Pro PN Panel Nominations", click 'New' to register interest for a Panel Nomination.

 In RMS, log in to the Action Centre and then click on "Personal Details" under your Personal Profile. As there are no FOR codes specifically for bacteriophage, it is best to include a brief sentence in your "Expertise Text" stating your research interest and expertise in bacteriophages.

I will have an update soon on two recent phage conferences I attended, the first was at the Eliava Phage Therapy Centre in Tbilisi, Georgia and the second was the Phage Futures conference in Brussels, Belgium.

If anyone has any updates or would like to write a SIG post please let me know,
Cheers,
Jeremy

New home for Bacteriophage SIG

  Hi everyone, I just wanted to make a quick post to update you all on a few new SIG goals and directions for '21 and '22. We will be transitioning away from our SIG blog site ( Bacteriophage Biology & Therapeutics SIG ) and moving onto the ASM communities platform ( Login - Australian Society for Microbiology ). I would like to encourage everyone to sign up for an account on ASM communities, to join the Bacteriophage community, and select receive notifications for any posts made. We will continue to post updates on our blog site in the meanwhile, but the long term plan is to transition our SIG communication to ASM communities and quarterly email updates. In other news, we are planning some PhD and ECR focused Bacteriophage SIG events for '22. We will have more news in the coming months, but if you could let any interested students and phage researchers know about this that would be greatly appreciated. Cheers,
