Mobilizing community-driven health promotion through community granting programs: a rapid systematic review
Background
Effective health promotion responds to the unique needs of communities. Community granting programs that fund community-driven health promotion initiatives are a potential mechanism to meet those unique needs. While numerous community health-focused programs are available, the various strategies used by granting programs to foster engagement, administer grants and support awardees have not been systematically evaluated. This rapid systematic review explores the administration of community granting programs and how various program components impact process and population health outcomes.
Methods
A systematic search was conducted across three databases: Medline, SocINDEX, and Political Science Database. Single reviewers completed screening, consistent with a rapid review protocol. Studies describing or evaluating community granting programs for health or public health initiatives were included. Data regarding program characteristics were extracted and studies were evaluated for quality. A convergent integrated approach was used to analyze quantitative and qualitative findings.
Results
Thirty-five community granting programs, described in 36 studies, were included. Most were descriptive reports or qualitative studies conducted in the USA. Program support for grant awardees included technical assistance, workshops and training, program websites, and networking facilitation. While most programs reported on process outcomes, few reported on community or health outcomes; such outcomes were positive when reported. Programs reported that many funded projects were likely sustainable beyond program funding, due to the development of awardee skills, new partnerships, and securing additional funding. From the perspectives of program staff and awardees, facilitators included the technical assistance and workshops provided by the programs, networking amongst awardees, and the involvement of community members. Barriers included short timelines to develop proposals and allocate funds.
Conclusions
This review provides a comprehensive overview of health-related community granting programs. Grant awardees benefit from technical assistance, workshops, and networking with other awardees. Project sustainability is enhanced by the development of new community partnerships and grant-writing training for awardees. Community granting programs can be a valuable strategy to drive community health, with several key elements that enhance community mobilization.

Mapping Teacher Informal Advice Networks as a Tool for District Administrators: A Case Study
With few resources and little time for professional development, science education leaders need ways to efficiently disseminate effective pedagogical practices, improve instruction, and support science teachers (Shaked and Schecter, 2016). Efficient leader strategies are especially important as teachers and districts face reforms to existing standards. One potential avenue for dissemination is leveraging the informal social networks of teachers. Therefore, it is necessary to map and interpret informal teacher networks. We describe a case study involving a partnership of university researchers and a district science curriculum specialist who collected survey data to map district teacher informal advice-seeking networks. We also describe the kinds of network analysis information that science education leaders can use to make strategic decisions about the costs and benefits of efforts directed at all teachers (e.g. workshops, annual professional development time) and those directed at highly connected teachers who can become or already are informal leaders in their communities.

Appraising the Evidence for Avoiding Lotions or Topical Agents Prior to Radiation Therapy
This project aimed to determine whether avoiding the use of lotions or topical agents for four hours prior to radiation therapy is supported by evidence. A comprehensive literature review, interviews with clinical experts, benchmarking with international cancer centers, and consultation with professional nursing organizations were conducted. Results showed limited evidence as well as variation in practice.

Medical Marijuana Edible Voluntary Recall in Arizona
In January 2017, during a routine food service inspection at a local medical marijuana dispensary, Coconino County Public Health Services District (Health District) discovered that the dispensary was processing and bottling potentially hazardous food items, including marinara sauce, and selling the product as shelf stable. Prior to distribution, these jarred potentially hazardous foods did not go through any food processing review or testing for biological hazards. These food products posed a danger to consumers. Therefore, the Health District initiated a voluntary recall, which was the first time a medical marijuana-infused food product had been recalled in Arizona.
