Center for Public Health Systems & Services Research (CPHSSR)
Gains National Prominence
National Recognition at ASTHO-NACCHO
Dr. Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, president and CEO of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, highlighted the new Center for PHSSR in a speech to the fifth joint conference of the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO) and the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO), held in Sacramento, CA last week. (To view Dr. Risa Lavizzo-Mourey's speech, please click here.)
Pleased with the attention to PHSSR, Dr. Scutchfield added, "The establishment of PHSSR will allow public health researchers, practitioners and policymakers across the country to collaborate and coordinate activities in a way that would not have been conceivable a few decades ago. Creation of a online community where those interested in affecting change in public health policy and practice can exchange information and ideas in real-time will become a tremendous asset to the health of our nation."
Discussion Boards & PHSSR Reference Library
The CPHSSR staff have developed a Discussion Board for researchers, practitioners and policymakers to post ideas, share resources and discuss current research. Please make sure to register for membership and post to the discussion board. Updates have also been made to the PHSSR Reference Library. Members can download the file to use in EndNote or as a Word file. Recent searches have yielded over 300 references related to PHSSR.
Exhibit at 2008 APHA Conference
In addition to the new resources, blog and funding opportunities listed on the PHSSR site, the team will exhibit at the APHA Conference from October 25 through 29 in San Diego, California. Please visit us at Booth 644, next to the Lounge. Click here for a more information on the conference or view the interactive 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.
PATRICK BERNET, Ph.D., M.P.A.
Dr. Bernet has finished data collection for a follow-up study based on his
already completed minigrant. He is extending the inventory of public health finance courses to include a broader range of universities. He will be submitting this work for publication shortly.
He is also working on regionalization studies in Kansas & Massachusetts, exploring the ways in which financial incentives might be used.
Lastly, Dr Bernet is Co-PI on research aimed at evaluating public health
funding formulas. Among other things, this work will provide policy analyst with a set of tools with which they can measure the impact of changes to funding formulas.
His presentation at the 2008 Keeneland Conference is also available for downloading.
We appreciate our mini-grantees and look forward to implementing our new Grantmaking Online (GO) system in late October 2008!
