Assistant professors receive Accelerated Translational Incubator Pilot (ATIP) grants.
Kelly Doran, PhD, RN, (left) assistant professor, and Doris Titus-Glover, PhD, RN, assistant professor, have been awarded 2021 - 22 Accelerated Translational Incubator Pilot (ATIP) grants from the University of Maryland, Baltimore's Institute for Clinical and Translational Research. The ATIP grant provides starter funds for projects specifically focused on innovative, translational research that involve faculty from the UMB Schools of Dentistry, Law, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, or Social Work; and UMBC/UMB or UMB/Baltimore community partnerships.
Doran, a multiple principal investigator, was awarded a $40,000 grant for "Towards predictive and proactive in-the-moment stress management among healthcare workers: A pilot study in long-term care," with Lujie Chen from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. By establishing the feasibility and best data collection practices with long-term care workers, this pilot study will lay the groundwork for future research with larger-scale data collection from more representative samples and for a longer duration. Their work will open up opportunities for understanding the dynamic interplay between the work-related stressors and stress responses at a fine-grained level and its interaction with individual characteristics.
Titus-Glover was awarded a $30,000 grant for "Exploring recovery-oriented capital support factors (personal, social, family functioning and community) to sustain opioid addiction recovery." She will conduct a sequential mixed-methods study to explore recovery support factors and to determine associations that optimize sustained recovery from opioid use addiction among low-income parenting women in a residential facility.
