Harvard
Catalyst, the Harvard Clinical and Translational Science Center, is
dedicated to improving human health by enabling collaboration and
providing tools, training and technologies to clinical and translational
investigations. The Catalyst has been working on implementing a series of
Community Capacity Building Seminars for the Massachusetts Department of
Public Health (MDPH) and the Population
Health Research Program Advisory Board, on which Partners Executive
Director Dr. David Weed sits, has organized several training
programs designed to promote translational research in community settings.
On June 25, 2015, the Board sponsored a program on Behavioral
Health Integration in Primary care featuring a presentation by Ayodola
Anise, Program Officer of the Patient-Centered
Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI). The session was followed by a
presentation of lessons learned from teams of PCORI grantees and
facilitated work groups on adverse childhood experiences, chronic disease
and comorbidities, domestic violence, substance abuse and suicide.
