InJAC meets on the second Thursday of even months.
The Indiana Joint Asthma Coalition (InJAC) develops and promotes Indiana’s statewide strategic plan, in collaboration with health departments, and stakeholders, and partner agencies in rural and urban communities to: improve quality of care, reduce environmental triggers, provide asthma-related trainings and presentations to healthcare professionals, schools, non-profit organizations, hospitals, local health departments, and partner agencies, and increase public awareness of asthma as a serious chronic disease and improve the knowledge and skills of patients regarding detection, treatment, and control of asthma, particularly among high-risk populations.
To join the coalition, contact Courtney Stewart at cestewar@iu.edu.
Beginning January 15, the Indiana CTSI will hold regularly scheduled Grant-Writing Open Office Hours. At each session, attendees will hear from an expert on a specific topic, and then there will be time for conversation and questions.
The first office hours session will be held on January 15 at 7:00 a.m. Starting in February, they will take place the first Wednesday of each month from 7:00 a.m. – 8:00 a.m, and the third Wednesday of the month from 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. Sessions will take place on Zoom.
These sessions are open to anyone affiliated with Indiana CTSI partner institutions.
