Steven Belenko’s expertise is on drug abuse and crime, the impact of substance abuse in justice systems, drug policy, organizational change strategies to improve the implementation of addiction treatment and other health services for offenders. He recently received a four-year grant from the PA Department of Health to identify gaps in care and support services and facilitate linkage to community-based medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for people who have an OUD and initiated MAT while incarcerated.

Final Reminder: NEH Grants Workshop
Monday, February 24 ~ 8:30 am - 4:00 pm ~ Shusterman Hall ~ Register Here
The Center for the Humanities at Temple (CHAT) is pleased to announce that Dr. Christopher Thornton, Director of the Research Division at the NEH, will be coming to Temple University to conduct an NEH grants workshop. Attendees are free to only attend a portion of the day.
There are two opportunities that distinguish this workshop from a typical information panel detailed below.
The Director has agreed to read through a small number of 1-page grant summaries ahead of his visit in order to give specific feedback directly to individual projects. We need to limit the summaries to 10 people or less. Feedback will be given over a lunch that will be closed to the general public on February 24th. If interested in having a summary reviewed, please e-mail them to me at kimberwilliams@temple.edu by today, February 14th.
In summary:
· February 14th – Summary submission deadline
· February 24th - NEH Workshop

For any faculty members developing a grant budget that includes international travel, you are encouraged to review the new international travel policy. The goal of the policy is to better track international travel and provide guidance and support to all international travelers affiliated with Temple University in the event of an emergency. This new International Travel Policy (Policy Number 04.16.04) went into effect on January 1, 2020 and is jointly sponsored by International Affairs and Risk Management.
The International Travel Policy applies to all university-affiliated international travel and requires that international travel be registered with the Office of Risk Management. The policy and other information regarding international travel can be found here.

Development & Training Opportunities
Intermediate REDCap
Thursday, February 20th ~ 12:00 pm ~ Charles Library ~ Register Here
This hands-on workshop on using REDCap, a tool for capturing electronic research data, will cover skills for both beginners and those with more experience. Will Dean, Research and Data Services Librarian at the Ginsburg Health Sciences Library, will show you how to set up data collection instruments, send out surveys at specific times, and create longitudinal research study events. While REDCap can be used to collect virtually any type of data (including 21 CFR Part 11, FISMA, and HIPAA-compliant environments), it is specifically geared to support online or offline data capture for clinical research studies and operations.
It is recommended that you register for this workshop ahead of time so a REDCap account can be created for you, if you do not already have one. More information: https://cphapps.temple.edu/redcap/
Bring your laptop or borrow one from an available laptop kiosk. Please contact Will Dean, william.dean@temple.edu, with any questions or to RSVP for a
group of 15 or more.
