MYPath, Our Community: The Future of Trail Systems in Owen County, Indiana
No full textMYPath Trail System, located in Owen County, Indiana, has partnered with Indiana University’s O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs and the Center for Rural Engagement to seek recommendations on future trail expansion. The MYPath Trail System is an important asset for the local community’s health, pride, and economic revitalization. MYPath must grow its community engagement and marketing strategies, speak to the economic impact of the trail, and strategically prepare for expansion efforts. This report offers in-depth recommendations on trail expansion strategies that maintain and uplift community values
What Pain Intervention Methods Help Reduce Opioid Use and Increase Patient Satisfaction?
No full textEffective pain management is crucial for improving patient outcomes after surgery. Pain can hinder the healing process, negatively impact mental health, and contribute to the stress response, leading to other physical symptoms. Nurses play a key role in administering pain management orders from physicians while also providing comfort care to patients. As such, it is essential for nurses to be informed about alternative pain interventions that can reduce opioid use. This consideration prompted an examination of various pain management strategies for shoulder surgery and their potential to minimize opioid consumption. Is it possible to spare opioids for most patients? While this paper specifically focuses on shoulder surgery, the insights it provides are valuable to all nurses, as pain management remains a challenge for many patients across a wide range of conditions
Using the IU Research Desktop for Interactive Supercomputing
No full textRobert Henschel is the Engagement Architect for the Research Engagement directorate in Research Technologies. He is responsible for working with IU faculty and research teams to facilitate the efficient use of IU’s High Performance Computing (HPC) systems and reduce time to science. Henschel has more than 20 years of experience in High Performance Computing, and his research interests focus on performance analysis of parallel applications and broadening adoption of HPC systems across all fields of science. Henschel has led the development of IU’s Research Desktop, which makes it easier for inexperienced users to get started with HPC and has allowed the university to leverage powerful compute and storage resources to serve a broad user base.Indiana University has a long history of providing High Performance Computing (HPC) services to all faculty, students and staff free of charge. This includes access to HPC systems like Quartz, Big Red 200, Jetstream and a high performance desktop service called Research Desktop (RED).
RED provides students and researchers access to graphical applications, in a highly interactive fashion. The system has been designed to lower the barrier of entry and broaden adoption of traditional supercomputing resources. While the service provides all the normal HPC command line tools and allows for job submission to HPC systems, it is designed for users to run computationally demanding applications like MATLAB, Schrödinger, R-Studio and Jupyter right on the desktop. RED provides users with an environment that looks familiar to what they know from Microsoft Windows or Mac OSX, while offering the storage and compute resources of an HPC system. The Research Desktop allows for running applications for days and even weeks, as well as disconnecting and re-connecting to a session, making it easy for users to start and monitor long running computational workflows. The service has been available to IU faculty, students and staff for over 7 years.
This talk will give an overview of RED and will outline common use cases like running Jupyter Notebooks, R-Studio or Matlab. RED will be compared to the other HPC systems available to IU users like Quartz and Big Red 200. There will be time for Q&A as well as a live demonstration of RED

CITI PROGRAM TRAINING: PERCEPTIONS OF LEARNERS ENGAGED IN HUMAN SUBJECTS RESEARCH
No full textThesis (Ed.D.) - Indiana University, Department of Learning, Design, and Adult Education/School of Education, 2025Ethics in research is an important topic in organizations and education in research has grown
over the last twenty years. Compliance in human subjects research training is a need for many organizations. The CITI Program Training is the standard in the United States for Training that addresses human subjects protection and can be used to meet compliance requirements. The CITI Program is a widely used platform for research ethics and compliance training and offers a variety of online courses in human subjects research ethics. Although CITI Program is widely used and has attractive features, it can be difficult to understand what impact the training has. To understand training impacts, individuals can be asked about their perspectives. UnitedHealth Group (UHG) is a health care and well-being company that has an Office of Human Research Affairs (OHRA). Even though participants have completed and met the 80% passing requirement on the required CITI modules, the problem is it is unknown what impact or value the CITI modules are having. This study explored UHG participants’ experiences with CITI Program training modules, using Kirkpatrick’s first level as a framework to capture perceptions and experiences. Participants of the study included eight participants who have completed required ITI Training modules. Interviews were used to discover participants’ perceptions of the CITI Program Training. The interviews consisted of twenty, semi-structured questions comprised of primarily qualitative questions to allow more information to be obtained several months after the training event has occurred. Interview questions were based on the New World Kirkpatrick Model framework for Training evaluation at level one: reaction. The questions focused on participant perceptions, or reaction, and about their perceptions of their reaction to training, learning, behavior, and results. This study is expected to yield preliminary understandings of how participants perceive CITI Training and what it means in their research context and job. These findings offer a richer understanding of the participants CITI Training experience for future learners, and leaders who operate within and influence this space
State Fairs: Growing American Craft: Four Questions for Exhibition Contributing Curator Jon Kay
No full textJon Kay served as a contributing curator for the Smithsonian Institution’s exhibition State Fairs: Growing American Craft. This exhibition was staged at the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum (August 22, 2025-September 7, 2026). In this interview, Kay reflects on the exhibition and associated catalogue, situating this collaborative project within his long-term work studying crafts, and working with craftspeople, associated with the Indiana State Fair. The following interview was undertaken by Jason Baird Jackson, with Jon Kay, between September 23 and October 5, 2024. It was initially published as follows:
