Introducing Spark Sessions for Faculty and Staff

Do you have an idea for research or scholarship that has been collecting dust? Need feedback on your proposal but aren't sure who to ask? Are you intimidated or confused by the grant seeking process?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, attend an upcoming Spark Session!

What is a Spark Session?
Spark Sessions provide an opportunity for faculty and staff to share ideas and support each other in proposal development and grant submission. Attend a Spark Session to:
• Brainstorm and generate new ideas
• Refine your idea
• Receive feedback and support
• Learn from your peers
• Network and collaborate
• Receive up to date news and information regarding external grants

Spark Sessions will be held monthly and will last approximately 1 hour. Discussion content will change each month based on the ideas and topics shared by your peers.

Who should attend?
Faculty and staff of all disciplines and experience levels are encouraged to attend the Spark Sessions. The only requisites are 1) an interest in proposal development and grant seeking, and 2) a willingness to share your ideas or provide constructive feedback to your peers.

What if I don't have an idea (yet)?
Feel free to attend even if you don't have an idea! Support your peers by providing feedback regarding their ideas! Also, Spark Sessions are an ideal forum to network, learn, and stay up to date on grant related news and opportunities.

When will Spark Sessions be held?
Help us schedule a time that works for you! If you are interested in participating in a Spark Session, please send the following information to Erica Swift at swift@augsburg.edu:
• Name
• Preferred day(s) of the week and time(s) for session to be held

Cultural Competence in Care of Trans Patients

Hello,
My name is Emerson Ball and I am an undergraduate student conducting research through the Undergraduate Research and Graduate Opportunity grant program at Augsburg College with the mentorship of Alex Iantaffi, Assistant Professor at University of Minnesota. I am conducting several focus groups on the cultural competence of current and aspiring health care providers in working with transgender patients as well as the experiences of transgender individuals within health care. Please see the request below and pass along, thank you for your consideration.
Best,
Emerson

Transgender identified individuals:
I am currently conducting a study regarding current and aspiring health care providers' cultural competence in working with transgender patients and the successes and gaps within that.
You may be eligible to participate if: you are eighteen years or older, you live in the United States or its territories, and you identify as transgender.
If you are interested in participating, you will be asked to participate in a focus group discussing your experiences in your care received from health care providers as well as your personal definitions of cultural competence. It will take approximately 90 minutes, one time only on June 13th, 5 p.m.-6:30 p.m. on the 2nd floor of Christiansen in the Cedar room at Augsburg College.
If you are interested, please respond to transhealthcarestudy@gmail.com or call Emerson Ball at (612) 626-3601 for further information.
Refreshments will be provided during the focus group.
This study, protocol number 2013-37-3, has been approved by Augsburg College's Institutional Review Board. If you have any concerns about your rights as a participant please email irb@augsburg.edu.

Thank you for your consideration,

Emerson Ball
