InCHIP is a no-cost “one-stop shop” for training, mentorship, research team development, and grant proposal writing for UConn investigators at all stages of their careers, from graduate students to tenured faculty. We offer a range of services, including workshops, one-on-one consultations, pilot funding, and more.
InCHIP is committed to providing its affiliates with the tools needed to submit an extramural grant application, and if awarded, InCHIP’s Grants Management Team is available to assist InCHIP affiliates in processing the grant through the post-award period. InCHIP also provides services to help affiliates find appropriate grants and funding for their research.

In January 2024, Connecticut made legislative changes that effectively shut down the ability of many workers to obtain instant transfers of their own earned wages between pay periods. However, my new study with colleagues finds that the Connecticut General Assembly should reverse this and pass SB 1396 this session. Doing so would give Connecticut workers faster access to their earned wages and help them make ends meet.
In late 2022, pharmacist Joseph Lambson got an unusual call from a poison control specialist.
He said, “Hey Joe, I’m getting these weird calls about semaglutide.” According to the specialist’s calculations, people were giving themselves 10 times the correct dose. But that didn’t make sense. The drug is the key ingredient in the blockbuster diabetes and weight-loss medications Ozempic and Wegovy. Both come in prefilled injector pens, which typically take the guesswork out of dosing.
