CHAMP Sponsors Senior Wellness Fair October 24

 

By: Sadhna Diwan on behalf of CHAMP and CommUniverCity faculty and students

CHAMP faculty invites you to visit the Senior Wellness Fair co-hosted this year by CHAMP, CommUniverCity and the Santa Clara County Department of Adult & Aging Services (DAAS).

When:  October 24, 2012 from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Where: Roosevelt Community Center, 901 E. Santa Clara Street (between 19th and 21st)

Students and faculty from Health Science, Kinesiology, Nursing, Nutrition, Occupational Therapy, Psychology, and Social Work are participating to provide health and wellness screenings, education, and physical activity demonstrations to seniors from the East San Jose neighborhood.

We invite you to come and support your students and faculty, and learn about how your department might participate in future CHAMP and CommUniverCity activities.

Remember healthy aging is for everyone – if you aren’t older already, soon enough you will be! And you’ll learn about important resources available in the community to promote healthy aging for us all. So come by and check us out on October 24th at the Roosevelt Center!

The mission of the Center is to promote healthy aging among multicultural and diverse populations living in the San Francisco Bay area. With faculty affiliates from all academic disciplines at SJSU, the Center facilitates interdisciplinary aging research, education and training, and strategic partnerships with community-based organizations working with older adults.

CHAMP is housed in the College of Applied Sciences and Arts which is home to applied and professional disciplines serving dynamic societal needs and dedicated to promoting a healthy, ethical, and enlightened global community through innovative application of knowledge and scholarship.

CASA CARHS Grants Academy Applications Due Next Week!

by Danielle A. Harris PhD
CASA CARHS Grants Academy Applications due next week!Dear CASA colleagues,I’m writing to encourage you to consider applying for the CASA CARHS Grants Academy for AY 2012-2013. For the second year in a row, CASA CARHS plans to administer an intensive Grants Academy for a small group of faculty who commit to writing a moderate- to large-sized research funding proposal.

Last year, I was one of seven CASA faculty members who participated in the Academy. With the support and structure of the Academy, I completed and submitted a major funding proposal to NIJ. Not only did participation in the Academy provide me with the substantive material and information that I needed to draft and complete the proposal, but even more important to me, it provided a supportive community of like-minded researchers from across campus – once a month I got to be in the same room with a group of dedicated scholars at all levels, from Assistant to full Professor, to talk about our work, the experience of grant-writing, and the challenges and rewards of doing research at SJSU.

There are monthly seminars, really wonderful mentors from across campus, statistical consultation if you need it, submission incentives, and they arrange for you get a review of your proposal from a senior scholar in your field. If you’re interested in doing funded research, I really encourage you to apply. If you have any questions about what it was like or if it’s right for you, feel free to email me (danielle.harris@sjsu.edu).

Applications are due 10/19/12 to CARHS steering committee member Dr. Van Ta Park (van.ta@sjsu.edu).
