Despite their documented benefits, the widespread adoption of community-engaged and participatory approaches among health researchers remains limited. Institutional practices and policies influence the uptake of community engagement and participatory approaches. We examine the role of financial arrangements between university researchers and community partners, by exploring efforts to bridge the gap between research administration and researchers at two research-intensive institutions. The type of financial arrangement a researcher has with a community partner plays an important role in setting the stage for the structure of the partnership as it relates to shared decision-making and ownership of the research. Continued efforts to clarify and streamline subcontracting processes are needed as is infrastructure to support community partners and researchers as they navigate financial arrangements if progress is to be made.

Summary
Introduction
The problem of intimate partner violence (IPV) in rural areas intersects with another rural crisis: the epidemic of opioid use disorder (OUD) and opioid-related deaths. Rural opioid-related mortality rates are particularly high in the New England region (Stopka et al, 2019). At the same time, feminist criminological research shows that rural women are more likely than their suburban or urban counterparts to experience violence when separating from or divorcing their spouses (DeKeseredy and Schwartz, 2009; Rennison et al, 2013). Rates of intimate partner homicide also appear to be higher in rural areas (Edwards, 2015). There is a known, bidirectional relationship between opioid use and IPV (Stone and Rothman, 2019), such that drug use may precede abuse by an intimate partner and experiencing IPV is related to subsequent drug use. Abusive partners may exercise control by introducing their partners to drugs or coercing them to use, or by interfering with a partner's treatment and recovery efforts (Warshaw et al, 2014). IPV survivors have also described how substance use in their relationships can increase violence, paranoia, jealousy and arguments over procurement or sharing of drugs (Gilbert et al, 2001).
By understanding the first-hand experiences of people accessing rural IPV and OUD services, we can identify gaps in service provision and work to close them. In 2020, this goal became even more urgent as the COVID-19 pandemic widened these gaps and highlighted limitations of social services to respond to rural communities in crisis. For example, the pandemic saw the rapid implementation and expansion of telehealth services (Demeke et al, 2020). Telehealth has the potential to expand access to care in rural communities and has demonstrated effectiveness and patient satisfaction (DelliFraine and Dansky, 2008; Kruse et al, 2017; Totten et al, 2019). However, it requires substantial investment in infrastructure (for both providers and communities), and uneven implementation may worsen rural health disparities (Hirko et al, 2020; Pierce and Stevermer, 2020).
In this chapter, we connect the results of two data collection efforts: (1) a series of in-depth interviews with rural Vermonters with lived experience of IPV and OUD regarding their experiences accessing services and resources; and (2) a series of in-depth interviews with representatives of a county-level Coordinated Community Response (CCR) team comprising professionals working in IPV-and substance use disorder (SUD)-related services.

What does it mean to teach American studies in UK higher education? We teach “American” content in our classes, modules, and degree programmes, but do we also conduct our teaching in ways specific to American studies? Lee Shulman describes a “signature pedagogy” as “the forms of instruction that leap to mind when we first think about the preparation of members of particular professions,” encompassing both the types of teaching we conduct in our classrooms and the assumptions and values that underpin that practice. Initial conversations about the concept of a signature pedagogy for American studies in the UK were held in a session organized by Lydia Plath on behalf of the Teaching American Studies Network at the Digital BAAS Conference in 2021, in the midst of a global pandemic that required all of us to reflect on our teaching practice. Building on that earlier conversation, this exchange was conducted between February and July 2022. The discussion explores American studies pedagogical approaches through the assumptions, beliefs, and values that underpin our teaching; the challenges of multi- and interdisciplinarity; and questions of identity, inclusion, and national context.

The Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) Program recognizes that advancing diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) requires moving beyond statements of commitment to transformative actions. In 2021, the CTSA Program created a Task Force (TF) to initiate work in support of structural and transformational initiatives that advance DEIA for the consortium and its individual hubs. We describe the process of forming the expertise-driven (DEIA) TF and our activities to date. We 1) developed and adopted the DEIA Learning Systems Framework to guide our approach; 2) defined a set of recommendations across four focus areas (Institutional; Programmatic; Community-Centered; and Social, Cultural, Environmental); and 3) designed and disseminated a survey to capture the CTSA Program’s baseline demographic, community, infrastructural, and leadership diversity. The CTSA Consortium also elevated the TF to a standing Committee to extend our understanding, development, and implementation of DEIA approaches to translational and clinical science. These initial steps provide a foundation for collectively fostering environment that support DEIA across the research continuum.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: To determine the impact of fertility preserving treatment (FPT) on likelihood of live birth in a cohort of reproductive-age women (18-45 y) after diagnosis of gynecologic malignancy or pre-malignancy METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We performed a retrospective cohort study of women ages 18-45 seen by gynecologic oncologists for newly diagnosed cervical cancer (CC), endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia (EIN) or endometrial cancer (EC), and borderline ovarian tumor (BOT) or invasive ovarian cancer (OC) at an academic center from 2015-2019, excluding women who completed childbearing. Our primary outcome was live birth after diagnosis and our exposure was FPT defined as services received by reproductive endocrinology and infertility specialists. We performed Pearsons Chi-squared and log binomial regression to assess association between live birth and FPT with adjustment for patient demographic and disease factors. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Out of 220 women (median age 36 y), most were White (54% vs. 25% Black) and 37% percent were diagnosed with BOT/OC (vs. 35% EIN/EC; 28% CC). After diagnosis of disease, 19% of women (n=41) had documented FPT and 8% of women (n= 17) had a live birth. By the end of follow-up, 6% of women who did not receive FPT had a live birth (n=11/178) compared to 15% of those who did (n=6/40, p=0.12). In univariate regression, women who received FPT were 2.4 times more likely to have a live birth after disease diagnosis that those who did not receive FPT (p-value = 0.06). However, after adjusting for age at diagnosis, relationship status, disease stage and disease type, the association between FPT and live birth was less robust (RR = 1.4, p-value = 0.6). DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: In this study, a minority of women had FPT or live births. Our data suggest that FPT benefit should be considered in context of age, relationship status, and disease characteristics for reproductive-age women diagnosed with gynecologic malignancies. Given the complexity, women should be offered referral for consultation with a fertility specialist.

Acute change in mental status (ACMS), defined by the Confusion Assessment Method, is used to identify infections in nursing home residents. A medical record review revealed that none of 15,276 residents had an ACMS documented. Using the revised McGeer criteria with a possible ACMS definition, we identified 296 residents and 21 additional infections. The use of a possible ACMS definition should be considered for retrospective nursing home infection surveillance.

Research in big data, informatics, and bioinformatics has grown dramatically (Andreu-Perez J, et al., 2015, IEEE Journal of Biomedical and Health Informatics 19, 1193–1208). Advances in gene sequencing technologies, surveillance systems, and electronic medical records have increased the amount of health data available. Unconventional data sources such as social media, wearable sensors, and internet search engine activity have also contributed to the influx of health data. The purpose of this study was to describe how ‘big data’, ‘informatics’, and ‘bioinformatics’ have been used in the animal health and veterinary medical literature and to map and chart publications using these terms through time. A scoping review methodology was used. A literature search of the terms ‘big data’, ‘informatics’, and ‘bioinformatics’ was conducted in the context of animal health and veterinary medicine. Relevance screening on abstract and full-text was conducted sequentially. In order for articles to be relevant, they must have used the words ‘big data’, ‘informatics’, or ‘bioinformatics’ in the title or abstract and full-text and have dealt with one of the major animal species encountered in veterinary medicine. Data items collected for all relevant articles included species, geographic region, first author affiliation, and journal of publication. The study level, study type, and data sources were collected for primary studies. After relevance screening, 1093 were classified. While there was a steady increase in ‘bioinformatics’ articles between 1995 and the end of the study period, ‘informatics’ articles reached their peak in 2012, then declined. The first ‘big data’ publication in animal health and veterinary medicine was in 2012. While few articles used the term ‘big data’ (n = 14), recent growth in ‘big data’ articles was observed. All geographic regions produced publications in ‘informatics’ and ‘bioinformatics’ while only North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia/Oceania produced publications about ‘big data’. ‘Bioinformatics’ primary studies tended to use genetic data and tended to be conducted at the genetic level. In contrast, ‘informatics’ primary studies tended to use non-genetic data sources and conducted at an organismal level. The rapidly evolving definition of ‘big data’ may lead to avoidance of the term.

This article examines the living situations and access to social support for community-dwelling people between the ages of 50 and 65, and who have lived with significant physical impairment for more than 15 years. Data were gathered through in-depth, semi-structured interviews with eight men and women. Findings suggest that coping with long-term impairment may be a lonely experience when the individual lacks a strong network of family and/or friends to offer emotional support. Participants felt their experiences of aging with significant long-term impairment were improved when they shared thoughts, feelings, and problems with others. Findings also show the significance of gender regarding access to social support and point towards the importance of using subjective understanding when ascertaining the level of social support available to individuals. More generally, findings underscore the broader point that individuals aging with impairments are immersed in and wish to maintain reciprocal relationships.
