11:00-11:45 Panel — Team Approaches to Veteran Health & the Million Veteran Program

Michael Welsh & Samuel Aguayo

In this talk, Michael Welsh will discuss the unique, holistic nature of the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) -- America's largest integrated health care system -- particularly in the role and importance of preventative care, for which interdisciplinary teams are crucial. Dr. Samuel Aguayo will then shift the lens from health care delivery to the VA's flagship population health research endeavor, the Million Veteran Program (MVP), and examine its impact on both patients and the research community.

The goal of the Million Veteran Program (MVP) is to learn more about how genes affect health, in order to improve health for Veterans, and ultimately, everyone. MVP uses genetic, military exposure, lifestyle, and health information from MVP Veteran partners to better understand the role of genes and health. With more than 900,000 Veteran partners as of July 2022, MVP is the largest database of its kind in the world—an integrated health and genomic database tied to a health care system. It is also the world’s largest genomic cohort of Veterans with the largest representation of minorities in the U.S.

9:00-10:00 Friday Keynote — Facilitating a Collaborative Grant Sprint: Tips For Researchers (in-person Health North 222 & virtual)

Ann Verhey-Henke

Grant Sprints are a designed and facilitated experience that catalyzes teams using the power of divergent and convergent thinking, to uncover new innovative ideas and approaches to their work, achieve a shared vision, and uncover opportunities to address societal challenges.

Since its first pilot, our method has evolved into a process that supports faculty from the earliest stage of ideation and partnership building to the path toward broader impact and public engagement. We are re-imagining how these tools can influence, create value and support the research development community and are excited to share our process and learnings with the Arizona State University community.

Ann Verhey-Henke

Well-Being as Skills: Training Your Mind

This presentation includes social-emotional challenges and factors influencing well-being, and an overview of the documented benefits and recommendations of a skills-based approach to well-being. Participants will learn the four key well-being skills, the relevant research evidence and recommendations for lifelong practice: 1) awareness, 2) insight, 3) connection, and 4) purpose. Participants will have an opportunity to engage in an experiential activity to demonstrate the simplicity and benefits of practicing these skills, all intended to educate and inspire participants to apply these practices to their personal and professional lives. Skills that may be explored include appreciation and mindfulness. The presentation will conclude with a summary of guidelines for training the mind, along with a recommendation for a free healthy minds mobile app. The overall purpose is for participants to leave with experiential knowledge and creative inspiration to adopt a skills-based approach to teaching, promoting, and practicing lifelong well-being.

1:30-2:30 Workshop

Substance Use Translational Team

The key goals of our translational team are to mobilize collaborative potential at CHS along with the key community partners to develop translational interdisciplinary research capacity to tackle pressing public health issues related to substance use and substance use disorders.

In this workshop, we will share our strategies and experiences of working to establish ties with community partners through conduct of qualitative interviews with key stakeholders. The interviews were designed to identify key stakeholder priorities and needs in the areas of substance use intervention and policy research in Arizona, as well as their interests in collaborative relationships with ASU-based researchers.

We will share our experiences of establishing data collection procedures to conduct key stakeholder interviews, and we will update on our preliminary interview findings, their implications as well as their utility for further partnership building. The workshop will also discuss examples of collaborative work with community partners through funded projects and research grants.
