<h5>Case Western Reserve is one of only 12 networks in the country to help improve services to the public</h5>
<p>Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) 
<a href="http://casemed.case.edu/">School of Medicine</a> has received a 
<a href="http://www.rwjf.org/">Robert Wood Johnson</a> grant to fund a Public Health Practice Based Research Network called The Ohio Research Association for Public Health Improvement (RAPHI). The grant, $90,000 over two years, was one of 7 practice-based research networks awarded this year, making the School of Medicine one of only 12 networks in the country.</p>
<p>"With increasing threats to public health and safety from emerging infections such as H1N1, climate change, and infections spread through the food chain, the need for public health is greater and more visible than ever," said Scott Frank, MD, MS, Co-Principal Investigator, director of the CWRU School of Medicine Master of Public Health (MPH) Program, and Health Commissioner for Shaker Heights, Ohio. "Finding solutions to health problems such as chronic disease, obesity, mental health, and substance abuse will depend on an effective public health system."</p>
<p>Public Health Practice-Based Research Networks (PHBRN) is a national program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) that supports the development of research networks for studying the reach, effectiveness, efficiency and equity of public health practice. A practice-based research network brings multiple public health agencies together to design and implement studies in real-world practice settings. Networks collaborate on individual and multi-site research through the Public Health PBRN National Coordinating Center located at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. Findings will advance RWJF&#226;&#8364;&#8482;s efforts to enhance the evidence base for public health policy and practice.</p>

<h5>Widened Effort Encourages Career Advancement of Women and Underrepresented Minority Men in Sciences and Engineering</h5>
<p>A program at Case Western Reserve University to encourage career advancement of women and underrepresented minority men in sciences and engineering is expanding to five public institutions of higher education through a three-year, nearly $1 million 
<a href="http://www.nsf.gov/">National Science Foundation</a> grant.</p>
<p>Institutions Developing Excellence in Academic Leadership (IDEAL) brings together Case Western Reserve and five public research universities across Northern Ohio: Bowling Green State University, Cleveland State University, Kent State University, the University of Akron and the University of Toledo. The goal is to foster environments conducive to recruiting, advancing and retaining women and underrepresented minority faculty in science and engineering (S&amp;E).</p>
<p>"This new grant gives us a wonderful opportunity to share lessons learned with other Ohio institutions," Case Western Reserve President Barbara R. Snyder said. "Along the way, I am confident that our own faculty will gain new knowledge and understanding regarding how we can further these efforts on our own campus, as well."</p>

<p>If you want to understand how evolution has played a role in challenging the constitutionality of the separation of church and state, Mano Singham from Case Western Reserve University provides a concise and chronological history in his new book, 
<em>God vs. Darwin: the War between Evolution and Creationism in the Classroom</em> (Rowman &amp; Littlefield, 2009).</p>
<p>
<em>God vs. Darwin</em> comes just weeks before the 150th anniversary of Charles Darwin's landmark book, 
<em>On the Origins of Specie s</em> , which has been at the center of the debate over how the diversity of all living things came about. Did it happen largely through the mechanism of natural selection as Darwin proposed or, as religious fundamentalists believe, did some supreme being craft the universe about 6,000 years ago along with all the species we see around us, and in particular, design humans with higher thought processes?</p>

<p>Six students in American Studies Professor Gladys Haddad's SAGES seminar, "Women's Education at CWRU: The Flora Stone Mather Oral History Project," will learn historical research by taking in-depth oral histories of six alumnae.</p>
<p>The women are still close to campus as nearby neighbors living at Judson at University Circle.</p>
<p>According to Haddad, this is the start of a project that eventually will be a digital archive of the Flora Stone Mather women's educational experiences. The archive will be located in the Kelvin Smith Library.</p>

<p>People within the Cleveland community who want to participate in research studies can now connect online with researchers nationwide by joining ResearchMatch.org. ResearchMatch is a not-for-profit website that brings together researchers and people who are willing to learn more about research studies in a secure and convenient manner. Case Western Reserve University is one of the 51 institutions participating in this first national, disease-neutral, volunteer recruitment registry.</p>
<p>ResearchMatch is the product of the Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) Consortium, which is supported by the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR), a part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The CTSA is a national network of 46 medical research institutions working together to improve the way biomedical research is conducted across the country.</p>
<p>In 2007, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) awarded Case Western Reserve University $64 million to become part of the national consortium designed to transform how clinical and translational research is conducted, ultimately enabling researchers to provide new treatments more efficiently and quickly to patients. Case Western Reserve University named its award the 
<a href="http://casemed.case.edu/ctsc/">Clinical and Translational Science Collaborative</a>, (CTSC), as it is a collaboration among Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland Clinic, MetroHealth Medical Center and University Hospitals. The ultimate goal of the CTSC in Cleveland is to provide complete service and integrated clinical translational research capability within the Cleveland community that will improve the health of patients in Northeast Ohio through patient-based research.</p>

<p>In honor of the men and women who've served the United States through military service, the Binary Walkway, which serves as the gateway to the Case Western Reserve University campus at Euclid Avenue and Adelbert Road, will be lined with flags and signs on Veterans Day, Wednesday, Nov. 11.</p>
<p>The university's tribute will include a display of American flags, as well as flags representing each branch of the U.S. military&#8212;Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and the Coast Guard. There also will be POW-MIA flags paying tribute to the men and women who were either Prisoners of War or Missing in Action during military conflicts. In addition to the flags, the walkway will be lined with signs featuring statistics about America&#226;&#8364;&#8482;s veterans.</p>
<p>"We hope that members of our campus community will pause to remember the men and women who have served our country," says James Eller, associate director of academic resources in the Educational Services for Students. Eller and a team of people are coordinating the university's Veterans Day tribute on the Binary Walkway. "We hope the display reminds all of us to take a minute to call our family and friends, or to visit faculty, staff or students who have served in the military and thank them for their service."</p>
