From Clinician to Community-Engaged Translational Practitioner: Building Social and Mental Health Programs for Children, Families, and Practitioners
|
Lack of mental health professionals and economic and geographic barriers to care are common in the United States. Overcoming these barriers means providing affordable services in places where there are children. This conversation focuses on work centered on a new grant to increase the ability of school districts to provide preventive and interventive mental health services by educating trauma-responsive social work students and practitioners who can recognize social inequality and help connect children and families to services and care. Join us to hear from Dr. Pierce, her community partner(s) and students on practical ways to support the mental health of children and adults.

IUPUI ScholarWorks Journal Article Published
|
Earlier this year, in partnership with IUPUI University Library, the IUPUI Center for TRIP was published in the Metropolitan Universities journal.
IUPUI’s Center for TRIP and IUPUI University Library developed a partnership to enhance community access to faculty scholarship resulting from community-engaged and translational research. Library staff archive the scholarship (articles, posters, reports, theses, educational materials and historical documents) of faculty affiliated with TRIP in IUPUI ScholarWorks, the campus’s open access institutional repository. The TRIP Scholarly Works Program was launched in 2013 and outcomes include benefits for faculty authors (increased readership) and for a world of readers (free access). After almost 10 years in existence, Library and TRIP staff sought to evaluate the success of this program. A survey was distributed to TRIP affiliated faculty to assess the impact of open access to their scholarship on their work as community-engaged and translational scholars. Faculty participants report a variety of benefits and yet, also indicate a need for increased program communication and fewer barriers to participation.

TRIP Scholar Receives Support for Startup
|
Three Indiana University faculty-led teams were selected as winners of the 2023 IU Idea to Startup Pitch Competition on October 5, 2023. The initiative, hosted by the IU Innovation and Commercialization Office in partnership with The Mill, is an opportunity for IU faculty, staff and students to showcase their startup ideas and receive insight from industry experts.
TRIP Scholar Dr. Jason Meyer, associate professor of medical and molecular genetics at the IU School of Medicine, won $10,000 and a three-month part-time coworking membership at The Mill with his startup idea regarding a human cellular platform for pharmacological screening for optic neuropathies. Eighty million people are affected by optic neuropathies worldwide and there is currently a lack of effective platforms to test the safety and efficacy of potential drug candidates for patients to improve retinal degeneration therapies.
