The Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects (DARE)

Systematic reviews are useful tools for busy decision-makers because they identify, appraise and synthesise the available research evidence on a particular topic. Many thousands of systematic reviews relevant to health care have been published. However, they can be difficult to locate and their quality is variable. DARE (the Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects) contains summaries of systematic reviews which have met strict quality criteria. Each summary also provides a critical commentary on the quality of the review. DARE covers a broad range of health care related topics and can be used for answering questions about the effects of health care interventions, as well as for developing clinical guidelines and policy making. DARE is available free of charge on the internet (http://nhscrd.york.ac.uk), and as part of the Cochrane Library. Alternatively, DARE can be searched, on your behalf, by CRD information staff (tel: 01904 433707 or email [email protected])

Snap Shots: Geneseo State Normal, 1918

This pictorial of Geneseo Normal School scenes is an attractive, thorough “snap shot” of the school as it existed at nearly 50 years old. Included are photographs taken from within and without “Old Main,” then still the school’s sole building (albeit with all its added wings and annexes)—different scenes and activities within the library, kindergarten, and other training school classrooms; athletic teams and facilities; orchestra and dramatics; plus a few outdoor scenes. The inclusion of photos of the Court St. kindergarten, the Union School on Center St., and the infirmary on North St. (one of the first of its kind in the nation) illustrates the school’s early expansion and influence in the community. Well-framed and composed, the photographs manage to portray the people and places of GNS to maximum effect. One photo in particular, captioned “Winter Sports—Tobogganing,” offers a rare view of the Old Main “complex” looking up the hill from the west, a wooden fence in the mid-ground suggesting the limits of campus development at the time. This slim little album is peppered throughout, curiously but adorably, with photos of birds and other little critters—including two owls on a branch (“Get Wisdom”) and a squirrel’s head just visible in the knothole of a tree (“Good Morning”).

Collaborating to Build and Implement a Shared Health Equity Research Agenda: A Report on the Three Campus Community Conversation

In March of 2020 New York State’s Gov. Andrew Cuomo charged Havidan Rodríguez, President of the University at Albany, SUNY, with leading a team of public health, social welfare, emergency preparedness and other experts from both research and practice in a study of the environmental, socioeconomic and occupational factors causing Latinx and Black individuals in the state to be disproportionately harmed by COVID-19. See www.albany.edu/mhd. In pursing this charge and at the request of President Rodríguez, the Vice President for Research at the University at Albany, Dr. James Dias partnered with the Vice President for Research from SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University, Dr. David Christini, and the Vice President for Research from SUNY Upstate Medical University, Dr. David Amberg, to strengthen existing and build new research and practice collaborations focused on health equity. With this goal in mind, Dias, Christini and Amberg laid out a three-phase plan to produce the shared agenda and to begin working collaboratively on that agenda. This document reports on Phase 1 of the three-phase plan including presenting a set of recommendations for the Shared Health Equity Agenda and creating the enabling conditions for success. This document is presented as input to the ongoing discussions about a shared health equity research agenda. As such, it may help guide near-term decisions about priorities, timeline, action steps, metrics, and entities responsible for building the agenda

University at Albany STARS Report

Gold Rating: STARS Version 2.1 The Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System (STARS®) is a transparent, self-reporting framework for colleges and universities to gauge relative progress toward sustainability. STARS was developed by AASHE with broad participation from the higher education community. STARS is designed to: • Provide a framework for understanding sustainability in all sectors of higher education. • Enable meaningful comparisons over time and across institutions using a common set of measurements developed with broad participation from the campus sustainability community. • Create incentives for continual improvement toward sustainability. • Facilitate information sharing about higher education sustainability practices and performance. • Build a stronger, more diverse campus sustainability community. STARS is intended to engage and recognize the full spectrum of colleges and universities—from community colleges to research universities, and from institutions just starting their sustainability programs to longtime campus sustainability leaders. STARS encompasses long-term sustainability goals for already high-achieving institutions as well as entry points of recognition for institutions that are taking first steps toward sustainability
