challenge entitled <i>Innovations in Measuring Community Perceptions</i>. The motivation for offering the challenge begins with the core belief that consistent, rigorous measurement of community perceptions can provide critical feedback to police, city managers,
and community members. Such feedback can support the development of new policies and programs as well as the evaluation of current practices. However, conducting rigorous surveys that represent the entire community is becoming increasingly difficult. The challenge
includes $175,000 in prizes. </span></div>

a large number of vendor-specific file formats that may require specialty software to open.

internal UA funding, the Data Science Institute has recently set up an Open Microscopy Environment file server (OMERO) to help faculty and their labs with image data management. The OMERO server uses the BioFormats plugin found in many open-source software
packages to open proprietary files and convert them internally to OME-TIF so that (just about) any uploaded data can be viewed either through a web or desktop client. More information on OMERO. </span><span style="margin: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="ContentPasted9">We

getting them approved, and getting their labs started. Going forward, AWP staff will reach out to new PIs to set up orientation for them and/or their staff. Please plan on having at least one from your lab attend the orientation prior to starting an IACUC
protocol.</span></p>
