General information

Essential Practices for Building Lasting Research Partnerships

When academic researchers and community organizations team up, differing perspectives and expectations naturally emerge. The Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) developed seven essential partnership practices for healthier research relationships, including conflict resolution, shared decision-making, power sharing, resource sharing, mutual benefit, trust-building, and reflection.

New Resource: Communicating Rural Public Health

Approximately one-quarter of the U.S. population lives in a rural area, and while these communities may be less dense, their impact on national public health is immense. We saw this clearly in 2025, when contagious diseases emerged in rural regions before crossing county and state lines. There’s no better moment to learn what rural public health means, the stories that define their communities, and the communications approaches that work.

3/26: The Public Health Impacts of the 2025 Executive Orders

Sponsored by: Network for Public Health Law

The past year was filled with federal actions that greatly impacted public health, both in the traditional sense and through a broader Health in All Policies lens. From funding cuts to the destabilization of long-trusted public health institutions, 2025 was a notable year for public health. Federal executive orders issued throughout 2025 were no exception. Information on the federal executive orders issued throughout 2025 was often scattered, making it difficult to appreciate the overall impact of these federal actions and related policies on public health. The Network’s newly created resource, Executive Order Watch: Public Health Impact of the 2025 Federal Executive Orders, helps bridge this gap by providing an at-a-glance overview of the 2025 executive orders. Though not exhaustive, the wide range of topics—from climate to vaccines to the federal workforce—captures the scale of impact across public health. Join us to learn more about this new resource and the ongoing public health impacts of the 2025 executive orders and related actions in areas including equity, reproductive health, the Federal MAHA initiative, immigration, and voting.

3/31: Mental Wellbeing and Resilience Learning Community: Addressing educator burnout crisis through systems change

Sponsored by: Minnesota Department of Health

K–12 educators and school staff are facing an unprecedented mental health crisis. Nationally, they are the most burned-out profession in the U.S., with a 2022 Gallup survey reporting that 44% of school staff experience symptoms of burnout. The consequences are far-reaching: burnout negatively affects educators’ decision-making, sense of purpose, and, most critically, their relationships with students. In 2022 the Northeast Service Cooperative and Midwest Center for School Mental Health launched an initiative to build awareness across partner districts about the breadth and impact of educator burnout. Equipped with the data and collective input, including a wide array of potential strategies, they are launching a resource guide and toolkit to support intentional policy and systems changes in schools. They will be evaluating the impact of these strategies and school change processes. Learn about the data, their insights to date, next steps, and how your district or region might begin to address educator burnout.
