Scutch's Blog
When researchers write a manuscript, several drafts are written. Many corrections, revisions and updated findings eventually result in a final paper. The online home of PHSSR will continue to experience the same revisions as a manuscript. One of the new updates is Scutch’s Blog. A true blog format has been implemented where community members can log in, comment on the posts and search the blog archives.
Exhibit at 2008 ASTHO-NACCHO Conference
In addition to the new resources, blog and funding opportunities listed on the PHSSR site, the team will exhibit at the joint ASTHO-NACCHO Conference from September 9 through 12 in Sacramento, California. Please visit us at Booth 237, next to the Lounge. Click here for a more information on the conference and download the floor plan of the Exhibit Hall. We look forward to seeing you there!

Funding &
Mini-Grantees
Each month in our InsideTrack e-Newsletter, we will focus on one of our Grantees. Currently, we have two groups of researchers and have issued a Call for Proposals to be submitted by January 2009.
BETTY BEKEMEIER, Ph.D., M.P.H., RN
Dr. Bekemeier is one of the first PHSSR mini-grantees and has just completed a paper, based on her minigrant, which will be submitted for consideration to be included in the HSR issue dedicated to PHSSR. She was recently awarded a Pfizer Scholars Grant to investigate the nature of the local public health workforce mix and the set of LPHA activities most strongly associated with changes in mortality disparities over time.
Additionally, she will continue as CoInvestigator with a project to create a systematic and searchable inventory of LPHDs with innovative programs to reduce disparities. The LPHDs must also meet particular criteria as evidence/outcome-based.
Lastly, Dr. Bekemeier is Co-PI on research examining whether changes in LPHDs expenditures are associated with changes in mortality disparities. Findings from this have also been submitted for consideration in the PHSSR issue of HSR.
Her presentation at the 2008 Keeneland Conference is also available for downloading.
We appreciate our mini-grantees!
