Most of you know that Michelle came to the College as a temporary employee to fill in during Janet’s absence after an accident. Now, she is a permanent full-time employee and will be working with the graduate program. Michelle has greatly strengthened our research infrastructure and will continue to be an outstanding employee. In this newsletter, you will read about our new Research Blackboard Site, a few new faces, the latest in research tools, awards, and more.              Thank you, Ken  Thanks to suggestions and requests by our faculty, the Center for Health Science Re-search is proud to introduce a new Blackboard Community geared towards research.   The goal of the CON RESARCH community is to streamline proposal submission & consolidate grant information.   The BB Community information areas are:  IRB, GRANT, & RESEARCH.  Specifically, CON RESEARCH can help keep track of IRB deadlines, grant templates & boilerplates (facilities & services, contact information, diver-sity statement, CON demographic/enrollment, UT audit report, W-9, diversity plan, budget, etc…), and research opportunities.   All posted information is monitored and will be updated or revised regularly. As of May 3rd, all CON faculty have access to this site.  Remember, this is a work in progress—so take a look and feel free to submit questions & sugges-tions to <conresearch@utk.edu>.  ⌂  E L E C T R O N I C  V E R S I O N  O F  R E S E A R C H  N E W S L E T T E R  C A N  B E  F O U N D :          H T T P : / /N U R S I N G .

The California Health Inter-view Survey (CHIS) is a longitudinal, publicly-available database that provides in-formation on health behaviors, utilization, and outcomes for 50,000 persons every two years (2009 - 2001).  Developed and maintained by UCLA, the database comes already formatted for SAS, SPSS, and Stata. Although this data source has information on asthma, HIV, diabetes, mental health, and obesity, the 2009 survey included several new variables such as suicide ideation among adults, emergency preparedness, medical homes, registered domestic partner status, and flu shots.  What is unique about this dataset?  First, for those interested in Native American research, it is one of the very few public data sources that asks par-ticipants about their tribal affiliation (e.g. Apache, Cherokee). For example, in an environment where casino re-sources are increasingly being allocated to community health, this data would support exploration of tribal differ-ences in health outcomes.  Second, CHIS surveys adults, children and teenagers separately, so you can refine your study to a particular age group. As you build your program of research, keep the California Health Interview Survey in mind as a source for quality, affordable data that are easily accessible.
