DIGITAL MEDIA AND PARENT/CHILD ENGAGEMENT RESOURCES TO INCREASE PRESCHOOL COMPUTATIONAL THINKING

DEVELOPING AND STUDYING A THREE HOUR DOCUMENTARY SERIES AND LIVE GAME STREAMING SHOWING THE RELATIONSHIP OF ENGINEERING TO THE EVERYDAY BUILT WORLD -ENGINEERING IS ARGUABLY ONE OF THE MOST CRITICAL SKILLS IN ANY SOCIETY, FROM BUILDING BRIDGES AND HOMES, TO DESIGNING CELL PHONES AND LIFE-SAVING MEDICAL DEVICES. YET MANY AMERICANS DO NOT CONSIDER ENGINEERING TO BE ESSENTIAL OR RELEVANT TO THEIR EVERYDAY LIVES, AND MAY EVEN QUESTION ITS POSITIVE IMPACT ON SOCIETY. WHILE THERE HAVE BEEN GAINS IN THE NUMBER OF WOMEN AND UNDERREPRESENTED MINORITIES IN STEM PROFESSIONS OVER THE PAST FEW DECADES, THEIR NUMBERS IN THE FIELD REMAIN DISPROPORTIONATELY LOW. THE BUILT WORLD INTEGRATED MULTIMEDIA AND RESEARCH PROJECT THEREFORE AIMS TO EXPAND ACCESS TO ENGINEERING CONTENT THROUGH THE LENS OF ?INCLUSIVE ENGINEERING,? WHICH HIGHLIGHTS HOW PROBLEM-SOLVERS OF ALL AGES, GENDERS, BACKGROUNDS, AND PERSPECTIVES APPROACH AND OVERCOME CHALLENGES TO INNOVATE. THE PROJECT APPLIES THIS CONCEPT THROUGH THE CREATION OF BUILT WORLD, A THREE-HOUR DOCUMENTARY SERIES FOR BROADCAST ON PBS STATIONS NATIONWIDE, AND A COMPLEMENTARY INTERACTIVE ESCAPE GAME STREAMED LIVE ON TWITCH, WHERE INDIVIDUALS OF ALL AGES AND BACKGROUNDS CAN PLAY AND SOLVE ENGINEERING CHALLENGES TOGETHER. THERE IS A NEED FOR EFFECTIVE REMOTE AND VIRTUAL INTERACTION TO SUPPORT INFORMAL STEM LEARNING, AND LIVE STREAMING GAME PLATFORMS PRESENT A PROMISING APPROACH TO FILLING THIS NEED. BUILT WORLD IS POISED TO ADVANCE THE FIELD THROUGH: (1) CONTENT - CREATING HIGH-QUALITY INCLUSIVE ENGINEERING CONTENT ACROSS MULTIPLE PLATFORMS TO REACH A WIDE AUDIENCE (BUILT WORLD DOCUMENTARY, DIGITAL REPORTING AND SHORT FORM VIDEOS, COMMUNITY OUTREACH CAMPAIGN); (2) APPLIED RESEARCH - DESIGNING AND STUDYING HOW LIVE-STREAMING, COLLABORATIVE PLATFORMS CAN SERVE AS SAFE AND INCLUSIVE SPACES FOR ENGINEERING LEARNING; AND (3) BEST PRACTICES - EXPLORING HOW AUDIENCES ENGAGE WITH INCLUSIVE ENGINEERING ON DIFFERENT PLATFORMS?A TRADITIONAL DOCUMENTARY FORMAT (BUILT WORLD) VERSUS AN INTERACTIVE, COLLABORATIVE SPACE (TWITCH GAME)?AND IDENTIFYING WHAT LEARNING OUTCOMES MIGHT BE EXPECTED ON EACH. A THREE-PHASE RESEARCH DESIGN AIMS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT MOTIVATES USERS TO ENGAGE WITH STEM CONTENT ON TWITCH; HOW TO DEFINE AND MEASURE LEARNING OUTCOMES ASSOCIATED WITH THE PLATFORM; AND HOW TO MITIGATE THE RISK OF TOXIC ENVIRONMENTS IN ONLINE COMMUNITIES BY FOSTERING SAFE SPACES FOR A DIVERSITY OF GAMERS. PHASE 1 INFORMS THE INITIAL DESIGN OF THE TWITCH GAME AND AUDIENCE INTERACTION STRATEGIES AND SEEKS TO ANSWER: WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO MEASURE INFORMAL LEARNING ON TWITCH? WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO DESIGN A TWITCH CHANNEL TO CREATE AN INCLUSIVE SPACE WHILE OPTIMIZING LEARNER ENGAGEMENT? PHASE 2 IS THE CORE FOCUS OF THE RESEARCH AND USES A SEMI-EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN TO ANSWER QUESTIONS SUCH AS: IS THERE EVIDENCE OF LEARNING ON TWITCH, AND WHAT TYPE OF LEARNING IS HAPPENING? WHAT IS THE DIGITAL CULTURE THAT EMERGES? PHASE 3 ASSESSES THE PAIRING OF THE DOCUMENTARY SERIES WITH THE TWITCH GAME TO MAXIMIZE INFORMAL STEM LEARNING AND IS GUIDED BY QUESTIONS SUCH AS: HOW DOES INCLUSIVE ENGINEERING CONTENT PRESENTED ON TWO PLATFORMS (TWITCH GAME AND BUILT WORLD SERIES) MEDIATE LEARNING OUTCOMES? HOW DOES INCLUSIVE ENGINEERING CONTENT PRESENTED ON TWO PLATFORMS SHAPE LEARNERS? EXPERIENCES OF INCLUSIVITY AND BELONGING? KNOWLEDGE GENERATED THROUGH THE BUILT WORLD PROJECT WILL OFFER TOOLS AND BEST PRACTICES TO OTHER STEM MEDIA PRODUCERS SO THAT THEY MAY ALSO LEVERAGE LIVE STREAMING PLATFORMS FOR LEARNING. THIS PROJECT IS FUNDED BY THE ADVANCING INFORMAL STEM LEARNING (AISL) PROGRAM, WHICH SEEKS TO (A) ADVANCE NEW APPROACHES TO AND EVIDENCE-BASED UNDERSTANDING OF THE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF STEM LEARNING IN INFORMAL ENVIRONMENTS; (B) PROVIDE MULTIPLE PATHWAYS FOR BROADENING ACCESS TO AND ENGAGEMENT IN STEM LEARNING EXPERIENCES; (C) ADVANCE INNOVATIVE RESEARCH ON AND ASSESSMENT OF STEM LEARNING IN INFORMAL ENVIRONMENTS; AND (D) ENGAGE THE PUBLIC OF ALL AGES IN LEARNING STEM IN INFORMAL ENVIRONMENTS. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.

CO-DESIGNING MEDIA TO FOSTER JOINT PEER-TO-PEER ENGAGEMENT, PROMOTE ENGINEERING LEARNING, AND EXPAND REACH TO YOUNG CHILDREN -SUCCESSFUL PEER-TO-PEER PRACTICES IN INFORMAL SCIENCE LEARNING (ISL) ARE OFTEN NOT WELL DEFINED, BUT FURTHER INVESTIGATION HAS THE POTENTIAL TO HELP UNCOVER HOW TO MOTIVATE AND SCAFFOLD CHILDREN'S JOINT LEARNING IN SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING. TEAM HAMSTER!, A PBS KIDS INTERACTIVE DIGITAL SERIES THAT HELPS YOUTH THINK CREATIVELY AND USE ENGINEERING SKILLS TO SOLVE PROBLEMS WITH EVERYDAY TOOLS, WILL BE USED TO ACHIEVE THE GOALS OF THIS PROJECT. ONE GOAL IS TO INVESTIGATE HOW ENGINEERING MEDIA CAN BE INTENTIONALLY CO-DESIGNED WITH CHILDREN FROM DIVERSE, ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED BACKGROUNDS IN ORDER TO FOSTER PEER-TO-PEER ENGAGEMENT AND LEARNING. THESE NATURALLY OCCURRING, PEER-TO-PEER INTERACTIONS COULD BE INVESTIGATED TO DETERMINE WHICH HOLD THE MOST POTENTIAL FOR FOSTERING LEARNING IN SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING. ADDITIONALLY, THIS PROJECT SEEKS TO PROVIDE A NEW STANDARD FOR HOW PRODUCERS CAN CO-CREATE MEDIA THAT REFLECTS THE INTERESTS, HABITS, AND LIVED EXPERIENCES OF THE CHILDREN THEY AIM TO SERVE. GIVEN THE MEDIA HABITS OF TODAY'S CHILDREN, WHO OFTEN VIEW VIDEOS, PLAY VIDEO GAMES, AND DISCUSS STRATEGIES AND PREFERENCES WITH THEIR FRIENDS AND SIBLINGS, TEAM HAMSTER!'S 35 MILLION DIGITAL GAME PLAYS AND 55 MILLION VIDEO VIEWS CAN HAVE A SIGNIFICANT REACH AND IMPACT ON THE YOUTH WHO ARE SERVED. THE PROJECT USES A PARTICIPATORY CO-DESIGN APPROACH WITH FOUR GROUPS OF COLLABORATORS: YOUTH, MEDIA DESIGNERS, YOUTH DEVELOPMENT EXPERTS, AND STEM EXPERTS. THERE WILL BE AN IMPACT STUDY UTILIZING AN EXPERIMENTAL-CONTROL/PRE-TEST-POST-TEST DESIGN, WITH EQUAL GROUPS OF APPROXIMATELY 120 CHILDREN AND THEIR CAREGIVERS. DATA FROM TECHNOLOGY PROBES WILL BE ANALYZED TO CREATE PROFILES OF YOUTH USAGE, WITH A FOCUS ON PEER-TO-PEER ENGAGEMENT. RESEARCH WILL BE USED TO ADDRESS THESE QUESTIONS: 1) WHAT PEER-TO-PEER JOINT MEDIA ENGAGEMENT PRACTICES ARE MOST PROMISING FOR FOSTERING ENGINEERING LEARNING AND EXPLORATION AMONG DIVERSE, ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED 5 TO 7 YEAR-OLD CHILDREN, AND HOW MIGHT NEW DESIGN FEATURES OF DIGITAL GAMES AND SUPPORTING VIDEOS PROMOTE THESE PRACTICES? 2) WHAT DESIGN FEATURES OF DIGITAL GAMES AND SUPPORTING VIDEOS BEST PROMOTE MEDIA-BASED PEER-TO-PEER ENGAGEMENT AROUND ENGINEERING LEARNING AND EXPLORATION? 3) TO WHAT EXTENT DO THE DIGITAL GAMES DEVELOPED THROUGH THIS PROJECT FOSTER ENGINEERING LEARNING AND EXPLORATION? 4) WHAT ARE BEST PRACTICES FOR DEVELOPING A PARTICIPATORY CO-DESIGN PROCESS, OCCURRING BOTH ONLINE AND IN PERSON, THAT IS CENTERED ON THE CREATION OF DIGITAL GAME FEATURES AND SUPPORTING VIDEOS THAT EXPAND THE REACH OF DIGITAL ENGINEERING GAMES? THIS TYPE 5, RESEARCH IN SUPPORT OF WIDE-REACHING PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT WITH STEM, PROJECT IS FUNDED BY THE ADVANCING INFORMAL STEM LEARNING (AISL) PROGRAM, WHICH SUPPORTS PROJECTS THAT: (A) CONTRIBUTE TO RESEARCH AND PRACTICE THAT CONSIDERS INFORMAL STEM LEARNING'S ROLE IN EQUITY AND BELONGING IN STEM; (B) PROMOTE PERSONAL AND EDUCATIONAL SUCCESS IN STEM; (C) ADVANCE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT IN SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY; (D) FOSTER INTEREST IN STEM CAREERS; (E) CREATE AND ENHANCE THE THEORETICAL AND EMPIRICAL FOUNDATIONS FOR EFFECTIVE INFORMAL STEM LEARNING; (F) IMPROVE COMMUNITY VIBRANCY; AND/OR (G) ENHANCE SCIENCE COMMUNICATION AND THE PUBLIC'S ENGAGEMENT IN AND UNDERSTANDING OF STEM AND STEM PROCESSES. THE PROJECT IS CO-FUNDED BY THE INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY EXPERIENCES FOR STUDENTS AND TEACHERS (ITEST) PROGRAM, WHICH SUPPORTS PROJECTS THAT BUILD UNDERSTANDINGS OF PRACTICES, PROGRAM ELEMENTS, CONTEXTS, AND PROCESSES CONTRIBUTING TO INCREASING STUDENTS' KNOWLEDGE AND INTEREST IN SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, AND MATHEMATICS (STEM) AND INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY (ICT) CAREERS. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.

RURAL PENNSYLVANIA MENTAL AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE INITIATIVE - THROUGH THE RURAL PENNSYLVANIA MENTAL AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE INITIATIVE, CEFF IS LOOKING TO EXPOSE THE REGION'S RURAL POPULATION TO THE LATEST TECHNIQUES AVAILABLE IN THE TREATMENT AND PREVENTION OF MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES, PARTICULARLY DRUG AND ALCOHOL ABUSE SUCH AS OPIOID ADDICTION. ACROSS THE U.S., THE PERCENTAGE OF ADULTS AGED 18 OR OLDER WITH A MENTAL ILLNESS HAS INCREASED. INDIVIDUALS WITH MENTAL ILLNESS ARE UP TO 40% MORE LIKELY THAN THOSE WITHOUT MENTAL ILLNESS TO USE ILLICIT SUBSTANCES. THE PROGRAM AIMS TO REDUCE THE IMPACT OF SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL ILLNESS IN RURAL PENNSYLVANIA. BEYOND THE PERSON DIRECTLY USING SUBSTANCES, ADDICTION IMPACTS THE PHYSICAL, MENTAL, AND ECONOMIC HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF CHILDREN, FAMILIES, AND THE COMMUNITY. CEFF WILL FOCUS ITS WORK ON THE COUNTIES OF NORTH-CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA, INCLUDING BLAIR, CLEARFIELD, CAMERON, CENTRE, ELK, JEFFERSON, AND MCKEAN. FROM 2015-2020 THERE WERE 505 REPORTED ACCIDENTAL OVERDOSE DEATHS IN THOSE COUNTIES (OVERDOSEFREEPA, N.D.). LOW-INCOME AND RURAL AREAS ARE AMONG THE MOST LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE THE EFFECTS OF SUBSTANCE ABUSE. RURAL AREAS OF PENNSYLVANIA ARE AT GREATER RISK DUE TO A LACK OF TRANSPORTATION, FINANCIAL INSTABILITY, AND RESOURCES OR HEALTH SERVICES TO ADDRESS THEIR ADDICTION. THESE REGIONS OFTEN LACK ACCESSIBLE HEALTH SERVICES, ESPECIALLY THOSE CONSIDERED "SPECIALIZED" SERVICES, SUCH AS ADDICTION TREATMENT. TO SUPPORT RURAL COMMUNITIES IN NEED, CEFF WILL PARTNER WITH MENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PROVIDERS TO OFFER COMPASSIONATE, EXPERIENCED CARE, FROM COUNSELING TO ARRANGING TREATMENT IN A COMPREHENSIVE, EVIDENCE-BASED PROGRAM. CEFF WILL ALSO EXAMINE EMERGING BEST PRACTICES AND LOCATE APPROPRIATE RESOURCES, IDENTIFY KNOWLEDGE GAPS AND IMPLEMENTATION CHALLENGES, OFFER USEFUL RESOURCES FOR THOSE WITH SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS OR MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES, AND INCREASE AWARENESS OF THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH PRESCRIPTION OPIOID USE AND MISUSE.

COMMUNITY PROJECT FUNDING/CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING - NON-CONSTRUCTION - THE CLEARFIELD EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION – FUTURE INCORPORATED (CEFF) AND THE COMMONWEALTH UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA LOCK HAVEN UNIVERSITY CLEARFIELD CAMPUS (CUPLHCC) HAVE EMBARKED ON A JOINT INITIATIVE TO TACKLE THE CRITICAL NEED FOR MEDICAL SERVICES AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT IN RURAL NORTH-CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA. THIS COLLABORATIVE EFFORT IS DESIGNED TO SIGNIFICANTLY ENHANCE HEALTHCARE EDUCATION AND TRAINING, ENSURING THAT THE REGION IS BETTER EQUIPPED TO MEET ITS HEALTHCARE DEMANDS. THE PRIMARY GOAL OF THIS JOINT INITIATIVE IS TO ELEVATE THE STANDARD OF HEALTHCARE EDUCATION AT CUPLHCC BY ACQUIRING ADVANCED MEDICAL TRAINING EQUIPMENT. THIS INITIATIVE AIMS TO ENHANCE CUPLHCC’S NURSING, NURSE PRACTITIONER, AND PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT PROGRAMS, PROVIDING STUDENTS WITH HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE USING STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNOLOGY. THE JOINT INITIATIVE BETWEEN CEFF AND CUPLHCC IS A STRATEGIC RESPONSE TO THE PRESSING HEALTHCARE CHALLENGES IN RURAL NORTH-CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA. THE INITIATIVE AIMS TO CREATE A SUSTAINABLE MODEL FOR IMPROVING HEALTHCARE ACCESS AND QUALITY IN THE REGION BY FOCUSING ON EDUCATION AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT. LONG-TERM IMPACTS INCLUDE HEALTHIER COMMUNITIES, AS MORE QUALIFIED HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS WILL LEAD TO IMPROVED HEALTHCARE SERVICES AND BETTER HEALTH OUTCOMES. ECONOMIC GROWTH WILL ALSO BE SUPPORTED, AS A ROBUST HEALTHCARE WORKFORCE CONTRIBUTES TO THE REGION'S OVERALL ECONOMIC STABILITY AND GROWTH. EDUCATIONAL EXCELLENCE AT CUPLHCC WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD ITS REPUTATION AS A LEADING INSTITUTION FOR HEALTHCARE EDUCATION, ATTRACTING MORE STUDENTS AND FACULTY DEDICATED TO ADVANCING MEDICAL CARE. THIS PROJECT REPRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT IN THE FUTURE OF HEALTHCARE IN RURAL NORTH-CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA, AIMING TO CREATE A STRONGER, HEALTHIER COMMUNITY THROUGH ENHANCED EDUCATION AND TRAINING.

COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: EPIIC: GENERATING REGIONAL INNOVATIVE PARTNERSHIPS (GRIP) -THE COLLABORATIVE PROJECT AIMS TO BROADEN THE PARTICIPATION OF TWO-YEAR INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN EMERGING TECHNOLOGY PROGRAMS BY INCREASING THE CAPACITY AND INFRASTRUCTURE TO GROW AND SUSTAIN STRONG REGIONAL PARTNERSHIPS AT THE FOLLOWING INSTITUTIONS: WILLIAM RAINEY HARPER COLLEGE (IL), IVY TECH COMMUNITY COLLEGE (IN), MISSISSIPPI GULF COAST COMMUNITY COLLEGE (MS), WASHBURN UNIVERSITY INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY (KS), AND WSU TECH (KS). OVER ITS THREE-YEAR DURATION, THIS PROJECT WILL FUND THE DEVELOPMENT, IMPLEMENTATION, AND EVALUATION OF EACH INSTITUTION?S NEW CAPACITY TO MEANINGFULLY ENGAGE IN CROSS-SECTOR PARTNERSHIPS TO ADVANCE EFFORTS IN WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT. THE COLLABORATING INSTITUTIONS (THE COHORT) WILL ENGAGE EMPLOYERS IN WAYS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN DONE BEFORE AT THEIR INSTITUTIONS BY IMPLEMENTING THE BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY LEADERSHIP TEAM (BILT) ADVISORY COUNCIL MODEL. THIS MODEL IS SUBSTANTIALLY DIFFERENT FROM THE TRADITIONAL ADVISORY COMMITTEES CURRENTLY USED AT THE COLLEGES THAT GENERALLY MEET TWICE PER YEAR, LACK EMPLOYER INVOLVEMENT, AND ARE NOT CONSIDERING FUTURE LABOR MARKET NEEDS. IN THE BILT, REGIONAL EMPLOYERS HAVE CO-LEADERSHIP ROLES AND COLLABORATE WITH FACULTY TO DEVELOP AND UPDATE COURSE CONTENT BY SHARING THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS NEEDED FOR THE WORKFORCE 12 TO 36 MONTHS INTO THE FUTURE. THIS DEEPER LEVEL OF ENGAGEMENT WILL SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT THE QUALITY AND RELEVANCY OF ACADEMIC PROGRAMS AND WILL MAKE STUDENTS BETTER PREPARED FOR THE WORKFORCE. BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS WITH REGIONAL BUSINESS LEADERS WILL ENSURE CLASSROOM CONTENT IS CURRENT AND CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENT INTERNSHIPS, APPRENTICESHIPS, MENTORSHIP, AND GUEST SPEAKERS. INSTITUTIONS WILL IMPLEMENT THE BILT PROCESS USING PUBLICLY AVAILABLE BILT RESOURCES AND A BILT CONSULTANT FOR THE REGIONAL-SPECIFIC INDUSTRY PARTNERSHIPS BEING TARGETED. THE COLLEGES WILL SHARE LESSONS LEARNED, BEST PRACTICES, PROGRESS ON INDIVIDUAL INSTITUTIONAL PLANS, AND SOLUTIONS TO BARRIERS TO IMPLEMENTING COLLEGE-WIDE CHANGE. THE OVERALL OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO BUILD INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY TO GROW EXTERNAL PARTNERSHIPS FOR WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS TO MAKE THEM MORE RESPONSIVE TO REGIONAL WORKFORCE NEEDS. GOALS INCLUDE DEVELOPING, IMPLEMENTING, AND EVALUATING AN INSTITUTION-SPECIFIC, REPLICABLE, SCALABLE PLAN TO TRANSFORM THE CURRENT TRADITIONAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE PROCESS INTO THE BILT MODEL TO CREATE MEANINGFUL ENGAGEMENT WITH INDUSTRY PARTNERS AND IDENTIFYING RECRUITMENT AND OUTREACH STRATEGIES THAT FOCUS ON ENSURING REPRESENTATION OF UNDERREPRESENTED INDIVIDUALS AND BUSINESSES ON THE BILT TEAMS. INSTITUTIONAL ACTIVITIES VARY BY INSTITUTION; HOWEVER, SHARED ACTIVITIES INCLUDE IMPLEMENTING THE BILT ADVISORY COUNCIL MODEL FOR AT LEAST ONE ACADEMIC PROGRAM, USING PUBLICLY AVAILABLE BILT RESOURCES AND A BILT CONSULTANT FOR TARGETING SPECIFIC REGIONAL INDUSTRIES AND EMPLOYERS, AND DEVELOPING AND IMPLEMENTING INSTITUTION-SPECIFIC STRATEGIC PLANS TO BUILD CAPACITY FOR GROWING AND SUSTAINING REGIONAL PARTNERSHIPS WITHIN ITS RESPECTIVE REGIONAL INNOVATION ECOSYSTEM. COLLABORATIVE ACTIVITIES INCLUDE CREATING A FRAMEWORK FOR IMPLEMENTING BILT AT COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL COLLEGES THAT IS REPLICABLE AND SCALABLE; EDUCATING FACULTY AND EMPLOYERS ON THE VALUE OF THE BILT FOR STUDENTS, PROGRAMS, AND THE REGIONAL ECONOMY; ESTABLISHING A SCHEDULE OF VIRTUAL MONTHLY MEETINGS; CREATING A COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE TO SHARE BEST PRACTICES, PROGRESS ON INDIVIDUAL INSTITUTIONAL PLANS, CHALLENGES FACED, AND SOLUTIONS DESIGNED TO ADDRESS BARRIERS TO IMPLEMENTING INSTITUTIONAL CHANGE; CREATING A COLLABORATION PLATFORM FOR DISCUSSIONS AND DOCUMENT STORAGE; CONVENING AN ADMINISTRATORS WORKING GROUP COMPRISED OF PIS AND CO-PIS TO COMMUNICATE THE STATUS OF COHORT PROGRESS AND ENSURE ALL DELIVERABLES ARE ON TARGET; AND PLANNING AN ANNUAL IN-PERSON COHORT WORKSHOP ADJACENT TO THE ANNUAL WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE CONFERENCE HOSTED BY THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF COMMUNITY COLLEGES. A THIRD-PARTY EVALUATOR WILL ASSESS THE OUTCOMES AND IMPACTS OF THE COHORT?S PROJECT.

DELTA HEALTH SYSTEMS IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM - 116 WOODGREEN CROSSING MADISON, MISSISSIPPI 39110-4522 LANELLE WEEMS MSN, RN 601-368-3322 LWEEMS@MHANET.ORG WWW.MCQW.ORG REQUESTED FUNDS: $402,028 NEED SOUTH SUNFLOWER COUNTY HOSPITAL (SSCH) IS A 47-BED, NOT-FOR-PROFIT, SOLE COMMUNITY HOSPITAL. HIGH CHRONIC DISEASE PREVALENCE PLAGUES COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN SUNFLOWER COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI. THE RESULT IS THAT SUNFLOWER COUNTY RANKS AS ONE OF THE LEAST HEALTHY COUNTIES IN MISSISSIPPI, AS #71 OF 82 RANKED COUNTIES. WHILE MOST OF THE COUNTY IDENTIFIES AS ONLY BLACK OR AFRICAN AMERICAN (77%), THE MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME DIFFERS BY $47,300 BETWEEN BLACK RESIDENTS ($26,500) AND WHITE RESIDENTS ($73,800). TO FULLY SERVE THE MOST MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN SUNFLOWER COUNTY, MEANING THE LOW-INCOME BLACK RESIDENTS, SSCH STAFF CONDUCTED A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) IN 2022. AN ONLINE COMMUNITY SURVEY (N=59) OFFERING INSIGHTS INTO THE HEALTH OF THE SUNFLOWER COUNTY FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE COUNTY’S RESIDENTS. RESPONDENTS IDENTIFIED ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE AS THE MOST IMPORTANT FEATURE OF A HEALTHY COMMUNITY AND NOTED HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, DIABETES, AND OBESITY AS DISEASES OF CONCERN. MEANWHILE, ONE THIRD OF ALL RESPONDENTS NOTED CONCERN REGARDING RACISM WITHIN THEIR COMMUNITY. WHILE SERVING RESIDENTS WITHIN THIS COMPLEX CONTEXT, SSCH HAS RECEIVED PRIOR TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AS PART OF THE 2018 COHORT OF HOSPITALS IN THE DELTA REGION COMMUNITY HEALTH SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM (DRCHSD). THOSE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE RECOMMENDATIONS LED TO IMPROVEMENTS AT SSCH IN THEIR FINANCES AND CLINICAL OPERATIONS AND TO ADDITIONS IN SERVICE LINES NEEDED TO ADDRESS LOCAL COMMUNITY HEALTH CONCERNS. OF THE QUALITY IMPROVEMENT INITIATIVES THAT HAVE BEEN LAUNCHED AT SSCH, NONE TO DATE ADDRESS THE ISSUES OF HIGH NURSE TURNOVER AND HIGH NURSE VACANCY RATES, BOTH OF WHICH ARE WORKFORCE CONCERNS FACED BROADLY THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI. RESPONSE SSCH REQUIRES SUPPORT IN TRAINING AND RETAINING QUALIFIED NURSING STAFF. NURSE RETENTION CAN IMPROVE QUALITY OF CARE AND COMMUNITY TRUST IN THE LOCAL HEALTH SYSTEM. HOWEVER, FINANCING NURSE STUDENT EXTERNSHIPS CAN BE COST PROHIBITIVE FOR A SMALL, RURAL HOSPITAL WITH A TIGHT OPERATING BUDGET. THUS , THE MS EARN PILOT PROGRAM WILL PROVIDE PAID, THREE-SEMESTER LONG EXTERNSHIPS TO ASSOCIATE DEGREE NURSING STUDENTS MATCHED WITH SSCH OVER THE 2024-25 ACADEMIC YEAR. THE PROPOSED PROJECT BUILDS UPON THE CURRENT MS SUMMER STUDENT EXTERNSHIP PROGRAM BY OFFERING A LONGER PERIOD OF TRAINING WITH OPPORTUNITIES FOR EXTERN AND HOSPITAL STAFF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT REGARDING HEALTH EQUITY AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT IN CLINICAL SETTINGS. IMPACT IN THE SHORT TERM, THIS PROJECT WILL INCREASE THE NUMBER OF NURSES PRESENT AT SSCH, EQUIP STAFF, INCLUDING NURSE EXTERNS, TO WORK EFFECTIVELY ACROSS DIVERSITY IN RACE AND CULTURAL BACKGROUND, PROVIDE NURSE EXTERNS WITH VALUABLE CLINICAL EXPERIENCE IN PREPARATION FOR THEIR NCLEX LICENSING EXAM, AND ENABLE MORE EFFICIENT PATIENT DISCHARGE AND BED TURNOVER. THESE CHANGES WILL POSITIVELY IMPACT THE HOSPITAL IN TERMS OF STAFF TURNOVER AND BURNOUT, WHILE IMPROVING CARE AVAILABLE TO THE UNDERSERVED, BLACK/AFRICAN AMERICAN POPULATION OF SUNFLOWER COUNTY. IN THE LONG TERM, THIS PROJECT WILL BE USED AS MODEL THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI TO IMPROVE NURSE STUDENT EXTERNSHIP TRAINING IN TERMS OF CLINICAL EXPERIENCE AND EQUITABLE PATIENT ADVOCACY. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DATA WILL BE COLLECTED VIA SURVEYS, INTERVIEWS, AND FOCUS GROUPS TO MEASURE THE IMPACT OF THE MS EARN PILOT PROGRAM ON METRICS RELATED TO HOSPITAL QUALITY OF CARE AND EMPLOYABILITY OF PARTICIPATING EXTERNS. ORGANIZATIONAL INFORMATION MISSISSIPPI HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION’S HEALTH, RESEARCH, AND EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION, INC. HAS BEEN MANAGING THE CURRENT MS SUMMER STUDENT EXTERNSHIP PROGRAM SINCE ITS INCEPTION, AND THEIR ALREADY EXISTING RELATIONSHIP WITH SSCH ENABLES MHA-F TO EASILY ACT AS PI OF THE PROPOSED MS EARN PROGRAM.
