This research documents the effects of chronic or worsening community poverty on the life chances of children growing up in low-income rural households.

You can register for the seminar HERE, and check out all the upcoming topics and register for future seminars on our website.

After the seminar, CSDE Trainee David Coomes will facilitate a graduate student discussion with Dr. Connor. Students will have the opportunity to discuss research collaborations, professional development, academic publishing, and interdisciplinary research, among other topics.

AAPOR Inclusive Voices Award Presented to the National Latino and Asian American Study (NLAAS)

The American Association of Public Opinion Research awards the Inclusive Voices Award annually to recognize the important data sets, research, and survey methods that have improved the ability to study complex social phenomena related to understudied populations. While the NLAAS stopped data collection in 2004, the resulting data are still being used today. Margarita Alegria and CSDE Affiliate David Takeuchi were the PIs of the NLAAS project. NLAAS resulted in over 150 publications focusing on Latinos, AA, or both and has helped build the publication records of many emerging researchers.

Ellis and Colleagues Assess the Effects of Metropolitan Redefinitions on Racial Composition in New Article

CSDE Affiliate and Executive Committee Member Mark Ellis, with Dartmouth co-authors Richard Wright and Nicole Tiao, recently published an article in The Professional Geographer that analyzes the impact of redefining metropolitan geographic areas over time on their estimated racial composition. Using census data from 1990, 2000, and 2010, the authors demonstrate that the 2010 reclassification produces metropolitan areas that are relatively more White and relatively less diverse than those based on the 1990 definitions.

New Research from Otten and Co-Authors Explores COVID-Driven Policy Changes to WIC in Washington

In a new article in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, CSDE Affiliate Jennifer Otten and co-authors tap into the effects of policy changes in the Washington State Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children ( WA WIC) during the COVID-19 pandemic. In December 2020, WA WIC adopted federal waivers to transition to remote service delivery for certification and education appointments and also expanded the approved food list without utilizing federal waivers. The authors find that these changes expanded access to services and were positively viewed by WA WIC employees.

Mapping Types of Agricultural Land — New Research from Bergmann & Colleagues

CSDE External Affiliate Luke Bergmann and a number of colleagues recently published new research that characterizes agricultural lands in the U.S. midwest as conventional, regenerative, or both. In an era in which conventional agriculture has come under question for its environmental and social costs, regenerative agriculture suggests that land management practices can be organized around farming and grazing practices that regenerate interdependent ecological and community processes for generations to come. The authors present a multifaceted depiction of the geography of these land types.

New Research from Frey & Colleagues Explores Victimized Youths’ Responses to Peer Intervention

CSDE Affiliate Karin Frey and a number of colleagues have a new article published in the Journal of Child and Family Studies. Adolescents targeted for peer aggression are at risk of emotion dysregulation and social withdrawal—responses that predict increased victimization and impede the protective factors of peer support.

New NIH Data Sharing Website Addresses Funding Requirements

The NIH has just launched a new website on Scientific Data Sharing. Whether you are involved in an NIH-funded project and want to understand which sharing policies apply to your research and how to comply, or you are a researcher looking to access scientific data from NIH-affiliated repositories, this site is for you.

Over the next few months, in preparation for the new NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy that goes into effect for applications due on or after January 25, 2023, the NIH will be adding a number of resources to the site including: sample sharing plans, tips for taking data sharing into consideration when developing your budget, additional FAQs, and more.

There are upcoming webinars to explain the new policy, and a lot of information to explore on the new website, including the Final NIH Policy for Data Management and Sharing, information on Repositories for Sharing Scientific Data, and allowable costs for Budgeting for Data Management & Sharing, etc.

Summer Network Modeling for Epidemics Workshop: Applications Open for 2022!

Network Modeling for Epidemics (NME) is a 5-day short course at the University of Washington that provides training in stochastic network models for infectious disease transmission dynamics.

This is a ''hands-on'' course, using the EpiModel software package in R (www.epimodel.org). EpiModel provides a unified framework for statistically based modeling of dynamic networks from empirical data, and simulation of epidemic dynamics on these networks. This course will touch on the deterministic and individual-based models, but its primary focus is on the theory, methods and application of network models. The course uses a mix of lectures, tutorials, and labs with students working in small groups. Click here to apply!
