Hi Juliet,
Would you please post this to the COEHD Faculty?
I've copied the department chairs on this memo, just to make sure they know about it
and can assist in informing students and faculty who might be interested in pursuing this
opportunity.
Thanks!
Betty

Subject: Invitation to Attend pre-Society for Research on Adolescence (SRA) capacity
building workshop
Dear Colleagues,
The MCEC has secured some funding to cover travel costs and registration fees of young
scholars and early researchers interested in building the field of researching and
supporting military-connected children and parents. This is an excellent and unique
opportunity for learning, networking, and collaboration.
Registration is handled by the Society for Research on Adolescence at
http://www.s-r-a.org/Registration, but inquiries about potential funding support may be
sent to copy Lydia Cotton
Lydia.cotton@militarychild.org<mailto:Lydia.cotton@militarychild.org>
Topics to be discussed:
* The current knowledge base about military children and families including the
Future of Children (2013) volume on "Military Children and Families."
* Discussion on what we currently do not know about military children and
families
* Policies and Programs for Military Children and Families
* What Constitutes Evidence-Based Practice? The Use of Complex Models
* Discussion on examples of program evaluation
* Practical Advice about Research
* Examples of Current Research
* What Can We Learn from Military-Connected Children and Youth?
(research-to-practice)
* Break-Out Groups: Ideas for new research-application links (guided questions)
* Ideas for New Research Ideas, Funding Opportunities, and Collaboration
We hope that this opportunity fits your research interests and look forward to seeing you
in Austin in March.
Sincerely,
David Splitek, Ph.D.
