2013 Annual Report

Purpose

To create a sustainable infrastructure

for a community and academic health science partnership

that fosters collaborative research and education

to address health disparities and promote health equity

among underserved populations on the US-Mexico border

Partnership Goals

Create opportunities for networking and developing a common

ground for health services and health science research among

community agencies and faculty members

Assist in the development, implementation, and evaluation of

community and academic health sciences research

2

Research Expectations Checklist Before research is conducted... We expect that university partners will…

< Get to know the served population as well as agency dynamics and expectations about research < Involve the agency in developing the research question and methods – “the agenda” < Educate the community agency on the benefits, project goals, research process, and resource expectations (e.g.,

time, human resources, financial)

We expect that the community agency will… < Articulate hopes and aspirations for working together < Help gain buy-in from the leadership and responsible staff < Know what is expected from the university partners (e.g., resources, time, funds) < Understand resource expectations and will be able to meet them < Share insights regarding possible changes in political environment for funding and other resources

We expect that the community agency and university partners will… < Designate a contact person for continuous communication throughout project < Describe learning objectives for working together < Develop Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and make them community-friendly < Develop a research hypothesis that allows for adapting protocol mid-stream (if needed) < Work together to assess the feasibility of the project, and possible obstacles < Define and formally outline specific roles, responsibilities, and budget for each party < Come to an agreement about who owns the data, where it will be viewed or accessed, and who will be

acknowledged or included in public presentations and publications < Develop a timeline for both partners

During research projects... We expect the university partners to…

< Share updates and preliminary findings driven by the community needs < Respect confidentiality of the population and the data < Remember that the agency’s mission is to serve the population, not to research them < Provide continuing access to participants/subjects < Provide access to staff and facilities as outlined in agreements

We expect that the community agency and university partners will… < Maintain ongoing communication on the project related to time, financial, and human resources < Revisit project goals and initial findings for changes based on current political or agency environment < Complete all commitments related to data collection < Work to adhere to timelines < Maintain confidentiality of data < Identify learning objectives from working together < Update Memorandum of Understandings (MOU) as appropriate < Provide documentation of work together

After the research is conducted... We expect the university partners to…

< Plan for dissemination of findings or progress/final report to the agency and/or the served population < Include the community agency in presentation/publication preparation

We expect the community agency to … < Provide community members access to the findings (e.g., reports to the community)

We expect that the community agency and university partners will… < Continue to nurture a relationship with one another to improve the health of the population served < Apply research findings and “lessons learned” to make changes and/or recommendations for policy < Active sharing and interpretation of data

The URI grant funded a graduate research assistantship for a MPH student while the UTEP Eta Sigma Gamma health promotion honor society members participated in the “And Justice for All” walk in October 2013. In addition, the data collected will serve as the foundation for a graduate thesis in public health.

Goals for 2014 (Year II): This team will continue to promote mutually beneficial and transformative outcomes for the partnering community organization, priority communities and the academic partner while striving to end domestic violence in the El Paso, TX region. • Conduct conference workshop- 2014 National Sexual Assault Conference; Proposal due on

Community-Engaged Scholarship (CES) Certificate Program September 2012-April 2013

A cohort of UTEP faculty and El Paso community members participated in a 9-month certificate program to build deeper and broader Community-Engaged Scholarship (CES) competencies.1

At the end of the certificate program, community and academic partners were able to: 1. Develop a framework for planning, creating, disseminating and documenting Community-

Engaged Scholarship for individual and partnership goals 2. Engage in the process Community-Engaged Scholarship through reflection and action 3. Develop a product2 that demonstrates Community-Engaged Scholarship by May 2013

The facilitators for the certificate program represented a community-academic partnership team with over a decade of experience developing community-based participatory research (CBPR) projects and providing national leadership to the Community-Campus Partnerships for Health. Academic Facilitator: Catherine Jordan, PhD, Associate Professor, University of Minnesota Community Facilitator: Susan A. Gust, Community Activist, Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN

Feedback from the CES Certificate Program: Participants were particularly appreciative of having two facilitators who have engaged in decade(s) long-standing community and academic partnership. The facilitators role-modeled shared “power” of community and academic partnerships using stories, reflection, dialogues, and readings to illustrate successes and challenges.

When asked, “What knowledge of skills did I gain by participating in this 9-month learning process?”, participants responded:

I now feel that there is a cohort of faculty, community and grad students who can speak the same language of community engagement and who have a similar commitment. The process of meeting, discussing, reflecting, doing and documenting together has provided a foundation for moving forward individually and in partnership.

I learned how to more effectively document my CES in my CV, portfolio, and for promotion

Sticking to this process helped me and my partners in the community to move forward with our partnership

Other participants commented that they learned how to create an Individualized Development Plan for partnership work, develop a diverse resume and biosketch, and work with partners and policy. 1Competencies for Community-Engaged Scholarship.
