Dr. William Haley, a Professor in the School of Aging Studies, has been named Distinguished University Professor (DUP) for 2021.

Dr. Kyaien Conner, PhD, LSW, MPH, Associate Professor in the Department of Mental Health Law and Policy, received a $2.5 million dollar research award funded by the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI AD-2019C1-16066). Her project is entitled: Examination of The Evidence-Based Care Transitions Intervention Enhanced with Peer Support to Reduce Racial Disparities in Hospital Readmissions and Negative Outcomes Post Hospitalization. This grant is a large research grant via PCORI's Addressing Health Disparities mechanism that will examine the impact of a community-based Care Transitions Intervention (CTI) enhanced with peer support to reduce disparities in hospital readmissions and other negative post-discharge outcomes (e.g. mortality, quality of life, ED visits) among older African Americans and Latino/Hispanics living with chronic disease. Dr. Conner is principal investigator (PI) on this project and has Co-I's from multiple USF colleges and departments: Mental Health Law and Policy (Drs. Amber Gum and Larry Schonfeld), Nursing (Dr. Usha Menon), Internal Medicine (Dr. Daniel Haight), Public Health (Dr. Jason Beckstead), Aging Studies (Dr. Hongdao Meng) and Child and Family Studies (Dr. Linda Callejas). This project will also fund two doctoral students in the interdisciplinary PhD program in Behavioral Healthcare, Erica Anderson, MS and Ana Aluisy, MS. This award is in partnership with 3 local hospitals (Tampa General, Advent Health and Lakeland regional). Dr. Conner hopes that this research will contribute to the evidence base supporting culturally relevant community-based interventions toward reducing disparities in health outcomes.

Teresa Anthony, MA, CCC-SLP, Visiting Instructor in CSD and Clinic Director of the Speech-Language Clinic and Bolesta Center, was awarded participation in the Summer 2021 Cochlear Center Hearing and Aging Mentoring Program (CHAMPS), which is hosted by Johns Hopkins Cochlear Center for Hearing and Public Health. Summer CHAMP is an intensive, one-week virtual program designed for pre-doctoral audiology, medical, and public health doctoral students. It aims to build a foundation in concepts and methods that will lead to research careers that address hearing loss, aging, and public health. This training experience will bridge completion of a master's in healthcare administration (MHA) through USF College of Public Health (COPH) and the initiation of doctoral studies in Health Services Research in USF's COPH. Teresa is excited to build interdisciplinary networks and research teams that contribute to CSD's clinical operations. To learn more about the CHAMP program, visit this site:
