Calling all Florida State University investigators and research teams! 📋👇

The UF-FSU CTSA program is planning a new Research Bioethics Program to support you through ethical, regulatory, and implementation challenges in human subjects research.

But first, we need your input to build it right.

Share your priorities on potential consultation services, educational programming, and resource needs in this quick survey: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/enj_zmYY

Your feedback directly impacts future planning. Thank you for your time!

After the great success of The Human Genome Project, we are now able to “read” the entire 6 billion letters of an individual’s genetic blueprint in an affordable and timely way. One of the most powerful applications of this genome sequencing is the identification of the “root cause” of a child’s undiagnosed, complex medical conditions or developmental disabilities like autism, intellectual disabilities, epilepsy and cerebral palsy. This technology is now standard-of-care and reimbursed by most insurance companies and Florida Medicaid.

Examples of the sometimes life-saving and often life-changing benefits of this Genomics & Precision Health approach will be presented for critically ill babies in the neonatal intensive care unit, for young children in pediatrics clinics, and for future application to all babies born in the State of Florida as part of routine newborn screening.

Please join ACTS 2 for our next free Facebook Live Workshop, “Maximizing Health and Well-Being for Loved Ones with Dementia: Special Focus on Palliative Care."

🗓️ Thursday April 23, 2026.
🕓 7:00 PM-8:30 PM (Eastern Time)
👉 Register: https://bit.ly/ACTS2FB

This workshop provides important information about the health, emotional and spiritual benefits of palliative care for older adults with dementia and their family caregivers. Caregivers typically receive little or no information from their health care providers about the impact of palliative care on quality of life for their loved ones with dementia. Here’s your opportunity to get the inside scoop!

Featured presenters, Fabiola Jean-Charles and Chris Morissette, will cover key topics, such as what palliative care really is and its impact on quality of life, when to consider using palliative care and best methods for accessing these services, and how to obtain insurance coverage for palliative care. Tomeka Norton-Brown will highlight opportunities for free skills training, problem-solving consultation, and support for family caregivers of older adults with dementia.

Current and future caregivers, elder care professionals, and other interested community members are strongly encouraged to join the workshop.

After you have registered, we will send you written workshop materials. If you have questions or need additional information, please call toll-free 1-866-778-2724 or email [email protected]. Sponsors for this workshop are the African American Alzheimer’s Caregiver Training and Support Project 2 (ACTS2) and the Florida State University College of Medicine.
