National Survey: How Have the
Federal Funding Cuts to Public Health Programs Affected You and the
Communities You Serve?
In
addition to last year's devastating cuts, the President's 2007 budget
proposed cutting funding for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) by more than 2% and the Health Resources Services Administration
(HRSA) by almost 5%. His budget eliminated or entirely cut several
important public health programs like the National Children's Study, the
Preventive Health & Health Services Block Grant, HRSA Health Professions
Grant Programs, and those that address chronic disease prevention.
As the American Public Health Association plans appropriations visits and
develop materials, CCPH members' answers to the questions in
this survey will help give a picture of the impact of last year's cuts on
vital public health programs and the communities they serve. http://www.zoomerang.com/survey.zgi?p=WEB2258SBFGKPH
25 New Practicum Partnership
Program Awards Made to Schools of
Social Work Nationwide
The Social Work Leadership Institute (SWLI) at the New York Academy of
Medicine has announced grants to 25 schools of social work, including three
consortia, as part of the Practicum Partnership Program (PPP) Adoption
Initiative. The $75,000, three-year awards will help to develop
university-community partnerships to provide master's of social work (MSW)
students with aging-rich field experiences across the continuum of care.
The SWLI was established to ensure that older adults have an opportunity to
stay in charge of their own lives by training and advocating for a
qualified social work labor force. The SWLI cultivates leaders in the field
of social work and acts as a central agent in cultivating and enhancing multidisciplinary
partnerships to succeed.
PPP awards will be matched with at least $75,000 by participating schools.
These grants build on the work of the initial six pilot sites and ten
expansion grants awarded in July 2005, and are part of an program to bring
PPP to 60 MSW programs nationwide.
The following schools were awarded implementation grants:
· Adelphi University, New York · Baylor University, Texas · Boston College, Massachusetts
· Boston University,
Massachusetts · California State, Chico · Case Western Reserve
University, Ohio · Florida State University · Michigan State University · Rutgers, State University of
New Jersey · University of Connecticut · University of Denver Graduate
School of Social Work (Colorado) · University of Iowa · University of Kansas · University of Kentucky · University of Montana · University of Nebraska at
Omaha · University of North Carolina,
Chapel Hill · University of Washington · Widener University,
Pennsylvania
The three consortia funded are:
· SUNY Brockport and SUNY
Buffalo, New York · Loyola University and University of Chicago, Illinois
· Texas State University, San
Marcos and the University of Texas at Austin

MESSAGE
FROM OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
 Rewriting
promotion and tenure policies to recognize and reward faculty
who engage with communities? Who says it can't be done? Faculty
at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Dentistry
have done just that in adopting new policies that go into effect
in July 2006!
The
new policies, available at: http://depts.washington.edu/ccph/scholarship.html#Models,
embrace public service, community engagement and community-engaged
scholarship and demonstrate a variety of ways to build these valued
into promotion and tenure policies at a public research university:
Defining
scholarship: Quoting directly from Boyer, the policies acknowledge
that scholarship can take multiple forms: "The scholarship
of teaching includes transmitting, transforming and extending
knowledge. The scholarship of discovery refers to the pursuit
of inquiry and investigation in search of new knowledge. The scholarship
of integration consists of making connections across disciplines
and, through this synthesis, advancing what we know. The scholarship
of application asks how knowledge can be practically applied in
a dynamic process whereby new understandings emerge from the act
of applying knowledge through an ongoing cycle of theory to practice
to theory. The scholarship of engagement connects any of the above
dimensions of scholarship to the understanding and solving of
pressing social, civic and ethical problems."
Distinguishing
service from community engagement: Previously, the School of Dentistry
defined service as most academic institutions do: as service to
the academy and the profession. The new policies also include
community and public service and engagement.
Further,
they distinguish service from community engagement by stating
that "service implies a donor-recipient relationship in which
one party, generally the community, receives benefit from interaction
with the faculty member" whereas "community engagement
is the application of institutional resources to address and solve
challenges facing communities through collaboration with these
communities", as defined by the 2005 report of the Commission
on Community-Engaged Scholarship in the Health Professions. The
defining aspect of engagement is the collaboration and mutuality
of benefits.
Where
previously, faculty members were encouraged to serve the community
at large in a professional capacity that enhances the stature
of the University, faculty are now encouraged to serve in a professional
or leadership capacity that enhances the health of the public.
A number of examples are given in the policies, including building
partnerships with communities to develop and diversify the health
workforce, delivering community-based quality health care and
translating research into practice and policy and disseminating
research findings to communities.
Distinguishing
between community service and community-engaged scholarship:
The new policies are clarify the difference between service and
scholarship. "Service and engagement activities are important
ways in which a faculty member connects the resources of the University
to social and health issues faced in society. However, service
and engagement activities are considered as scholarship unless
they are formal and meet the criteria for Scholarly Activity."
Clarifying
what constitutes documentation and evidence: The policies
spell out that community engagement and community-engaged scholarship
is evaluated by the candidate's CV (including a new section for
listing community engagement activities), the chair's letter,
and letters from community partners which have benefited from
the faculty collaboration. The critical assessment of the faculty
member's community-engaged scholarship can include not only peer-reviewed
journal articles, but also "non-traditional products of scholarship
and research, including policy reports, websites, videos, and
other peer-reviewed outcomes."
Of
course, progressive policies are only one component of a strategy
to align the faculty promotion and tenure system with community
engagement and community-engaged scholarship. Time will tell whether
a school with such policies has the faculty support and institutional
culture to implement what appears on paper. The Community-Engaged
Scholarship for Health Collaborative, a group of 9 health professional
schools that are working on these issues (including the School
of Dentistry at UNC), has identified other components, such as
investing in faculty development that
- educates
faculty about community engagement and community-engaged scholarship:
what it is, why do it and how to do it;
- educates
members of promotion & tenure committees on these same issues,
and how to assess the portfolio of a community-engaged scholar;
- helps
faculty to see the possibilities for scholarship in their service
and community engagement, and to help them make that leap;
- mentors
faculty in the competencies needed for community-engaged scholarship;
and
- mentors
faculty to successfully navigate the promotion and tenure process
and effectively document their work.
If
your school or university has progressive promotion and tenure
policies that we should add to our online collection, please email
me at sarena@u.washington.edu

systematic planning and the reconceptualization of disease. The BHCEJA
model is a biopsychosocial health model with an environmental health
component that: requires a health assessment of the community based upon
standardized health indicators and area based socioeconomic measures; and
an assessment of the risk from the environmental burden (TRI chemicals
released into the community) of the community.
