SUMMARY:Stimulating Research to Enhance Aging in Place: A Continuum of Home and Community-based Services
DESCRIPTION:The goal of the AOTF workshop will be to establish several collaborative teams that will develop new research grant proposals designed to advance the evidence base for home and community-based services that support aging in place. Workshop participants will generate and prioritize novel research questions during the workshop and form research teams to subsequently write grant proposals to answer their chosen question. Each team will be asked to generate a plan that puts them on the path towards competitive grant submissions. For example\, one team could decide to use existing pilot data and could establish an analytic plan for a manuscript that both justifies the need for further study and establishes a documented collaboration between researchers that would be needed in a grant application. Another team might identify a focused research question and establish plans to pursue institutional/internal pilot funding that would be needed for a larger grant. Ultimately\, the goal is to use this networking opportunity to create new research teams that secure extramural funding to build the evidence base for aging in place\, allowing older adults to fully engage in daily life roles and maintain or improve their quality of life. \n\n\n\nView related OTJR articles: \n\n\n\n\nStimulating Research to Enhance Aging in Place to see priority areas.\n\n\n\nOut-of-Home Activities and Health in Older Adults: A Scoping Review\n\n\n\n\nParticipants (*Committee Member) \n\n\n\n\nSajay Arthanat\, PhD\, OTR/L\, ATP\, Telehealth Practice Center.

SUMMARY:Catalyzing Research to Optimize Participation in Work & Life Roles of Cancer Survivors: Moving Beyond Symptom Management
DESCRIPTION:The goal of the second Planning Grant Collective was to establish research teams that will develop grant proposals for studies that move the evidence base for cancer rehabilitation beyond impairment reduction to target improving cancer survivors’ productivity and participation in meaningful activity. Researchers from the disciplines of occupational therapy\, nursing\, oncology\, physiatry\, physical therapy\, psychology\, and exercise science attended the event.  \n\n\n\nThe event led to the formation of research teams that created action plans regarding publications and collection of pilot data to advance three lines of inquiry ultimately focused on reducing participation restrictions experienced by cancer survivors. One research team is analyzing existing data to inform the development an intervention designed to address employment concerns of people diagnosed with early-stage cancer. Another team is re-analyzing existing qualitative data to identify ways to use a community-based self-management approach to foster optimal participation in life roles and meaningful activities. The third team has designed a pilot study to collect descriptive data regarding participation restrictions\, in order to inform intervention development within clinic settings. \n\n\n\nView OTJR: Occupation\, Participation and Health article: Newman\, R.

SUMMARY:Understanding and Enhancing Community Function in Serious Mental Illness
DESCRIPTION:Supported by a generious donation from Bonita Kraft and Florence Stattel\, the first Planning Grant Collective focused on promoting research relevant to occupational therapy’s role in mental health care.   \n\n\n\nA select group of twenty-six occupational therapy researchers\, psychologists\, social workers\, health policy specialist and others\, representing mental health professionals from the U.S. and Canada gathered to establish several research teams in order to generate and worked on specific research projects together. Several funding agencies (NIMH\, NCMRR\, NIDILRR) were invited\, both as a way to identify potential funding opportunities and as a way to educate the agencies about the focus of occupational therapy.  \n\n\n\nThree groups were formed and agreed to pursue the following projects: \n\n\n\nGroup 1:  Action over Inertia; OT Consultation on ACT Teams; and Active Living.Group 2:  Improvement of community living outcomes for persons with serious mental illness wit the inclusion of OT assessment/intervention.Group 3:  College students with serious mental illness (SMI). \n\n\n\nView OTJR article for summary and recommendations: Promoting Occupational Therapy Mental Health Research: Proceedings From the 2017 AOTF Mental Health Planning Grant Collective \n\n\n\nParticipants (*Committee Members) \n\n\n\nMargaret Swarbrick\, PhD\, OTR\, CPRP\, Director of Practice Innovation and Wellness\, Collaborative Support Programs of New Jersey (CSPNJ) & Rutgers University Behavioral Health Care \n\n\n\nAntoine Luc Bailliard\, PhD\, OTR/L\, Assitant Professor\, Div. of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy\, University North Carolina at Chapel Hill \n\n\n\nSkye Pamela Barbic\, PhD\, OT\, Assistant Professor\, Occupational Science and Occupatoinal Therapy\, University of British Columbia \n\n\n\nM.
