[PHSW] [Fwd: [PNWHEALTH] Evans Graduate School of Public Affairs is seeking agency partners]

Wed Sep 24 16:43:59 PDT 2003

Friends:

Some of you might want to take advantage of this offer from the Evans 
GSPA given the tough economic times. Or, you may know someone in your 
agency who needs consulting help. Forward the message on to likely 
people, please.

During my NLM Informatics Fellowship I had the chance to work with two 
corporations on projects. I learned much more from working with the 
professionals in those corporations than I would have trying to learn 
the same thing in a course. The students win and so will you because 
there is nothing like having a team work on your projects.

Laura

Dear Colleagues,

Evans School Public Service Clinics Seeking Agency Partners
	Agency Topics Due October 24!
	All the Info is at www.evansuw.org/research/psclinic
	Propose Topics On-Line in Minutes

Do you wish you had a consultant at your disposal to undertake projects
that you just don't have the time or staff to complete?  The Evans Public
Service Clinics at the University of Washington's Evans Graduate School
of Public Affairs in Seattle can help you!  They match second-year public
administration graduate students with public agencies and non profit
organizations in the community.  This partnership enables the students to
complete their degree requirements and provides you with no-cost research
and analysis services to further your organization's work.

The Public Service Clinics provide a faculty led, peer supported
environment in which second-year MPA students complete a capstone project
on an applied research topic of immediate interest to a non-profit or
public agency.  Each year, approximately 30 students are matched with
agencies in December.  Research and writing takes place from January until
June 2004, culminating in a finished product for the agency and a student
presentation in Parrington Hall.

When and where do I sign up?
Your organization has until Friday, October 24th to propose research
topics for the 2004 Public Service Clinics. To submit a proposal simply go
to www.evansuw.org/research/psclinic, click on "agency proposal form" and
let us know what project you'd like to offer.  It helps to pose a
question you seek to answer. Use the template and examples on the site as
guides.  If you want assistance developing your proposals, clinic
coordinator Nora Grip and the clinic faculty members Steve Page,
David Harrison and Dan Carlson can review your proposals and work with you
to tailor them for success.  You can reach Nora at
psclinic at u.washington.edu or 206.221.3676.

How Are the Clinics Organized?
This academic year Evans faculty will lead clinics organized around three
broad topics of how society charges public and non-profit agencies to:
*	serve people,
*	build and sustain communities, and
*	use and protect natural resources.

A faculty member with expertise and experience in the field will lead each
clinic.  Degree project research, whether agency or student generated,
domestic or international in scope, can find a home in one of these
clinics.  The 2003-04 clinics and instructors are:

Service Delivery Clinic: How can we improve the capacity of government and
community-based organizations to design and implement health care, human
services, job training, poverty alleviation and other kinds of programs
that assist people?  This clinic welcomes proposals that deal with the
training, support and retention of front-line human services workforce
that works directly with children and families.
Instructor: Professor Stephen Page concentrates his research on issues of
program design, service delivery and collaboration in the areas of social
and health policy.  For more information on Professor Page, please visit:
http://www.evansuw.org/FAC/Page/index.html.

Community Development Clinic: How can affordable housing, economic
development, land use and transportation strategies assist distressed
communities to evolve into vital, sustainable ones?  This year's clinic
welcomes topic proposals on issues of poverty and strategies to alleviate
poverty in the Central South King County areas of Renton, Tukwila, Burien
and SeaTac.
Instructor: Professor Daniel Carlson specializes in community
revitalization and development and transportation and land use issues.
For more information on Professor Carlson, please visit:
http://www.evansuw.org/FAC/Carlson/index.html.

Resource Use and Protection Clinic: How can we utilize natural resources
for human and economic gain while stewarding and protecting our water,
land, forests, air and other species?  This clinic will embrace topics at
the intersection of environmental protection and economic growth, locally
and globally.
Instructor: Professor David Harrison founded and directed the Northwest
Policy Center, which aided the region in its continuing transition from a
timber and resource-based economy.  He served as senior policy advisor to
Senator Maria Cantwell and brings a broad understanding of local, state
and national politics to issues of program design and funding.  For more
