Annotation: This webinar seeks to highlight strategies for successfully carrying out research and disseminating findings, and build a long-lasting research career. One presenter will discuss experiences as a research associate on a MCHB/DoR award then becoming a Principal Investigator. The other presenter will provide guidance on forming collaborations, expanding research with various funding streams, and translating research into practice.

Learning Objectives: • Learn about the journey from a Research Associate to a Principal Investigator • Understand how to collaborate and form relationships • Become familiar with expanding research with various funding streams • Learn strategies for working with policy-makers and disseminating knowledge for policy impact.

Annotation: Research shows that youth services library staff in both public and school libraries recognize the need for professional and personal knowledge related to race and racism and anti-racist work (Hughes-Hassell & Stivers, 2015); however, there are currently few comprehensive resources that specifically address the needs of library professionals. The Project READY curriculum addresses this gap in existing professional development opportunities for youth services library staff.

Learning Objectives: • Introduce youth services library staff to research in areas such as race and racism, critical theory, and culturally responsive or sustaining pedagogy. • Establish a shared understanding of foundational concepts and issues related to race, racism, and racial equity. • Encourage self-reflection related to race and racial identity for both white and BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) library staff in public and school libraries. • Amplify the work of practitioners and scholars who are providing inclusive and culturally responsive services for youth of color and Indigenous youth. • Provide concrete strategies for creating and/or improving library programs and services for Black youth, Indigenous youth, and children and teens of color.

Annotation: This webinar describes the living systematic review (LSR) approach to maintaining the currency of systematic reviews of literature by using continual surveillance for new research evidence and inclluding relevant new information in systematic reviews in a timely manner. It also discusses features of the Cochrane LSR search. A video and slides are available.

Annotation: This webinar introduces participants to the basics of institutional review board (IRBs), the need for them and when to submit research protocols for review to an IRB. The webinar, webinar slides, and participant biographies are available.

Learning Objectives: • How do I know if I am doing human subject research? • How does an IRB ensure the rights and welfare of human subjects involved in research are adequately protected? • Participants will learn to "issue spot" where the need for an IRB is likely to arise. • Participants will understand the background and purpose of the relevant human subject research regulations. • Participants will understand how to draft functional IRB protocols and procedures.

Annotation: This series of short tutorials (about 15 minutes each) focus on specific aspects of U. S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP) human subjects regulations and policy. They include Institutional Review Board (IRB) review criteria, quorum and voting in IRB meetings; membership requirements for IRBs, prisoner research series, and OHRP reporting requirements.

Annotation: This webinar discusses (1) how to distinguish between clinical research and quality improvement (QI), (2) how to identify the need for IRB approval in the grey zone between QI and clinical research, and (3) how bulleted fact sheets and Q&A sessions for patients enrolled in clinical trials can be applied to quality improvement efforts. It includes a video, presentation slides, and links to critical reference information.

Annotation: A basic understanding of public health law is essential to the practice of public health across our nation. States and local units of government have unique authority to maintain and protect the health of the people who live within their jurisdictions. However to exercise these powers, we must understand them and use them within the boundaries of the constitution and legal authority. This course will provide some very basic tools to develop a greater appreciation and understanding of the authority we have to protect the public health while maintaining the appropriate respect for individual rights that must be balanced in any of our actions.

Learning Objectives: • Have a basic understanding of the constitutional and regulatory powers in public health and how these powers are applied in public health situations and activities. • Be able to critically analyze various public health situations and activities by balancing the rights of individuals with the legal powers and duties to assure optimum population health.

Continuing Education: 1 Certification; 0.1 CEU/CE; 1 Contact Hours

Annotation: This online module, based on a life course framework, is designed to help public health leaders describe the role of maternal and child nutrition in population health and identify actions they can take to create equitable access to healthy foods and food environments. There are three parts to the module: 1) Why Nutrition Matters, 2) The Life Course Framework, and 3) Applying the Life Course Framework. Each of these parts contains several expansive subtopics, a summary, and a “knowledge check” exercise. An additional, cumulative quiz is provided at the end of the module. A glossary and list of resources is also provided.

Learning Objectives: • Describe the role of maternal and child health (MCH) nutrition in the lifelong health of the population. • Access resources for assessment, assurance, and policy development for MCH nutrition. • Identify ways to integrate MCH nutrition within state and local public health agencies. • Apply the principles of the life course framework for population-based public health actions and initiatives.
