PLANNED NEW POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM COMBINES

COMMUNITY, ACADEME, PRACTICE AND POLICY

 

The highly successful COMMUNITY HEALTH SCHOLARS and SCHOLARS IN HEALTH DISPARITIES programs have been planning exciting changes and new linkages. If you or one of your students is interested in a two-year postdoctoral experience highlighting research on health disparities, community-based participatory research or the application of disparities research to policy, our programs may provide the experience you seek.

 

The planned new program will offer two-year postdoctoral fellowships at 10 training sites, beginning in Fall 2006.  Seven fellowships will be in the Multidisciplinary Disparities track and six in the Community-Disparities track.

The first track highlights a multi-disciplinary approach to studying the social determinants of health disparities.  The other track highlights community-based participatory research,  and relationships between academe, community and public health practice.

 

The two programs have proposed to partner with each other and with allies in policy and practice organizations across the country to create a movement aimed at eliminating health disparities and securing equal access to the conditions and services essential for achieving healthy communities.  By combining the proven strengths of each program they intend to create a new, linked program to develop a cadre of leaders with: the competency to translate research to policies that address health disparities; the capacity to partner with communities in carrying out research and building policy advocacy; and the skills to inform and support policy makers who seek to reduce and eliminate health disparities. The vision of the proposed new Program embodies the conversion of the traditional "three-legged stool" (community; academe; practice) of Community-Based Public Health into a more powerful "four-legged stool," adding a strong policy leg.

 

The final decision on funding of this new program awaits action by several grantors.  These programs expect to be able to make a final announcement and provide application forms in October 2005.

 

The "Multidisciplinary Disparities" track will be based on the current Scholars in Health Disparities Program, and training will be provided at the following sites:

  • Columbia University-Mailman School of Public Health
  • Harvard School of Public Health
  • Morgan State University, Public Health Program
  • University of California, San Francisco, Center on Social Disparities in Health
  • University of Michigan, Institute of Social Research
  • Univ of Pittsburgh Grad. School of Public Health, Center for Minority Health
  • Univ of Texas Anderson Cancer Center Minority Health/Health Disparities Program

 

The "Community-Disparities" track will be based on the current Community Health Scholars Program, and training will be provided at the following sites:

  • Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
  • University of Michigan School of Public Health
  • University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Public Health

 

Each fellowship will provide an annual salary of $55,000, an annual research fund, and other benefits.

 

To receive information on this exciting new opportunity, send your contact information to scholar_app@cfah.org and they will get back to you by October, 2005.  For information prior to October, contact: Saundra Bailey, voice 734-647-3065, fax 734-936-0927 or email saundrab@umich.edu for the Community-Disparities track or Marie Briones-Jones, voice 202-387-2829, fax 202-387-2857 or email mbjones@cfah.org for the Multidisciplinary Disparities track.

 

 

HEALTHY PEOPLE 2010 MIDCOURSE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD

OPEN THROUGH SEPTEMBER 15, 2005


On behalf of the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP) is soliciting the submission of electronic comments for consideration on changes and revisions proposed to the Healthy People 2010 objectives as a result of the Midcourse Review process. The Midcourse Review, conducted at the midpoint of the decade, is the process through which the Healthy People 2010 objectives are reviewed by HHS, the lead agencies for the Healthy People focus areas, and other experts, to assess the data trends during the first half of the decade, consider new science and available data, and make changes that ensure that Healthy People 2010 remains current, accurate, and relevant. The proposed revisions take the form of: establishing baselines and targets for formerly developmental objectives (i.e., objectives that had no baseline data or target when Healthy People 2010 was released in 2000); changes to the language of objectives and subobjectives; deletions of objectives and subobjectives; new subobjectives; and baseline and target revisions.

The public is invited to comment through the Internet Website on: objectives and subobjectives that are moving from developmental to measurable objective status; objectives and subobjectives with revisions to their overall language; the deletion of objectives and subobjectives; the addition of new subobjectives; the establishment of new baselines, targets, and target setting methods; and changes to data sources. Written comments received in response to this notice will be reviewed and considered by the lead agencies for the objectives to which they pertain.

DATES: Written comments must be submitted via the Internet website by the close of business Eastern Standard Time on September 15, 2005.

ADDRESSES: The proposed revisions to Healthy People 2010 objectives can be viewed and commented on at http://www.healthypeople.gov/data/midcourse.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Email the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Office of Public Health and Science, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, at hp2010@osophs.dhhs.gov.

BACKGROUND: HHS has led a nationwide process to formulate and monitor national disease prevention and health promotion objectives since 1979. The Healthy People initiative began in 1979 with Healthy People: The Surgeon General's Report on Health Promotion and Disease Prevention, which presented general goals for reducing preventable death and injury in different age groups by 1990. These general goals were followed in 1980 by the publication of Promoting Health/Preventing Disease: Objectives for the Nation, which identified five overarching goals supported by a set 226 objectives organized in 15 strategic areas to be achieved by 1990. The five goals targeted mortality and morbidity for five distinct age groups. In 1990, HHS published Healthy People 2000, which established three overarching goals and contained 319 objectives in 22 priority areas. The Healthy People 2000 goals were 1) increase the span of healthy life, 2) reduce health disparities, and 3) provide access to preventive health services.

Building on the experiences of the first two decades of objectives, public hearings, and a public comment process that generated more than 11,000 public comments, in January 2000, HHS issued Healthy People 2010, the third generation of 10-year disease prevention and health promotion objectives for the Nation. Healthy People 2010 is a comprehensive set of national health objectives, based on science, for the first decade of the 21st century. It identifies two overarching goals (i.e., increase the quality and years of healthy life, and eliminate health disparities) that are supported by 467 objectives in 28 focus areas. For more information about Healthy People 2010 and its history, visit the Healthy People 2010 Internet website at http://www.healthypeople.gov.

Through the Healthy People 2010 Midcourse Review, the lead agencies for the 28 Healthy People 2010 focus areas have proposed revisions to the Healthy People 2010 objectives that are now available for public review and comment. Public comment on the objectives will be considered by the appropriate lead agencies. ODPHP, within the Office of Public Health and Science, serves as the overall coordinator for the dissemination and processing of the public comments.

A new HHS report entitled Healthy People 2010 Midcourse Review, featuring the revisions and a status report on progress from 2000 to 2005 toward achieving the targets for the year 2010, is scheduled for publication in 2006.

 

CCPH has two publications available that help advance the Healthy People 2010 Objectives. Discounts on both publications are offered to CCPH members:

 

 

THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF COLLEGES OF PHARMACY

RELEASES REPORT ON ENGAGING COMMUNITIES

 

The American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy's (AACP) recently released "Engaging Communities: Academic Pharmacy Addressing Unmet Public Health Needs"-- Report of the 2004-05 Argus Commission.  The Argus Commission is comprised of the past five presidents of AACP.  The 2004-2005 Argus Commission was specifically charged to examine how colleges and schools of pharmacy, through efforts of students, faculty, and administrators, are or might be engaged in efforts to form partnerships with communities, broadly defined. This report offers definitions, examples, rationale, and recommendations related to the agenda of community engagement in pharmacy education.

 

The report cites the work of CCPH, the Commission on Community-Engaged Scholarship in the Health Professions, and the Community-Engaged Scholarship for Health Collaborative.


In its' conclusions, the report offers a number of recommendations that are relevant to the efforts of CCPH members and initiatives. These include:

  • Recommendation 1: AACP should develop a template for documenting the engagement of member institutions and faculties with partners at the local, state/national, and international levels and maintain an inventory of such activities to be used in teaching, collaborative research and service, and advocacy programs.
  • Recommendation 2: Each school and college of pharmacy is encouraged to examine its mission and strategic objectives related to engaging communities in socially meaningful ways and to identify additional programs through which students and faculty can strengthen community engagement, especially in underserved communities.
  • Recommendation 5: Colleges and schools of pharmacy should work to create additional opportunities for faculty placement and student experiential learning in community health centers, public health clinics, and other safety net practice environments.
  • Recommendation 6:  The Council of Deans task force on metrics of scholarly activity should specifically examine and make recommendations related to recognition of interdisciplinary and collaborative research activities addressing community engagement and public health issues.
  • Recommendation 8: AACP should invite leaders in the effort to recognize and reward community engagement to present their work in a variety of formats and venues, and encourage member institutions to incorporate recommendations from the project into faculty evaluation activities.

MESSAGE FROM OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

 

Sarena Seifer

 

One of CCPH’s policy priorities is to encourage funding initiatives that support authentic community-campus partnerships.   We have been diligently working, for example, to expand federal funding for community-based participatory research (CBPR) as a strategy for understanding and eliminating health disparities, and to facilitate peer review processes that honor the principles of CBPR.  

 

Through September 16, 2005, we all have an opportunity to weigh in on policies that can affect CBPR: the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is seeking input and advice on various concepts associated with permitting more than one Principal Investigator to be associated with an NIH funded grant, contract, or cooperative agreement at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-05-055.html

 

The NIH plans to adopt or create grant application forms that include sections for more than one PI. Each of the listed PIs will be designated by the grantee institution and will be expected to share responsibility for directing the project or activity supported by the grant. As with current policies, each PI will be responsible and accountable to the grantee institution and to the NIH for the proper conduct of the project or activity.  The information requested covers the following issues:

v      Allocation of funds to individual PIs;

v      The impact of multiple-PI projects on NIH departmental ranking tables; and

v      The use of linked awards when PIs are located at different institutions.

 

Many of the ideas presented and asked about in NIH's tentative plan are

critical for CBPR partnerships. They appear to open the door to the possibility of having a community-based PI and an institution-based PI, for example.  Further, the document asks explicit questions about how the funding should/could flow:

v      Do you think a consortial or subcontract arrangement between the primary and secondary institution permits the leadership team to effectively manage a project spanning the involved institutions?

v      Does a subcontract arrangement create inequities between PI(s) at the awardee institution and PI(s) at the subcontract institution(s)?

 

We encourage CCPH members and others who are interested in expanding support for CBPR to submit comments at http://grants.nih.gov/cfdocs/mult_pi/add_mult_pi.htm

 

To stay on top of the latest funding announcements, proposed policies and other news about CBPR, join the CBPR listserv at http://mailman1.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/cbpr and visit the CBPR resources page at http://depts.washington.edu/ccph/commbas.html

A SUCCESSFUL COMMUNITY-BASED PARTICIPATORY RESEARCH SKILL-BUILDING INSTITUTE!

 

Twelve community-based participatory research (CBPR) partnership teams convened for the Community-Based Participatory Research Skill-Building Institute for Partnership Teams held August 5-8, 2005. The institute was based on the training curriculum developed by the Community-Institutional Partnerships for Prevention Research Group to build the capacity of communities, public health agencies and academic institutions to engage in CBPR. Held at the beautiful Sleeping Lady Mountain Retreat Center at the base of the Cascade Mountains in Washington State, participants worked together in intensive interactive workshops and small group mentoring sessions to deepen their understanding of CBPR partnerships. Each team left the institute with an action plan for developing and sustaining their CBPR partnership.  The institute was supported by a grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through a cooperative agreement with the Association of Schools of Public Health.

Professor Aidan Halligan Challenged and Captivated Guests at the Inaugural John Horder Lecture

Professor Halligan is the director of Clinical Governance for the NHS. The underlying reasons for failure in health care were conveyed through stories and images about power, vanity, professional isolation, poor communication, failures of communication and ineffective systems. Solutions were woven together as a myriad of ideas around leadership, teamwork and communication, which he argued are core elements of effective and patient centered organizations. Meeting the needs of people, teams and organizations in complex and fast moving systems requires engaging individuals at a personal as well as professional level and finding the right sort of leadership that brings together "judgment and self possession" rather than ego and self importance. The John Horder lecture has been established as an annual event supported by the Journal publishers Taylor and Francis to recognize the leadership and contribution that John has made to influencing change in policy and practice of interprofessional work and education in the UK and overseas. The Journal of Interprofessional Care promotes collaboration in education, practice and research worldwide. It publishes papers on collaboration within and between professions, within and between organizations, with service users, carers and communities.  CCPH executive director Sarena Seifer is a member of the journal's editorial board.
