Reminder
Survey and resources to support research amid funding challenges
| | | |
As the research landscape continues to evolve, here are a few tools and resources to support our community:
- The IHPI Funding Impact Survey is still available for members to access to help us better understand the impact and scope of funding cuts on IHPI research teams.
- The IHPI Research Staffing Needs & Resources tool aims to help connect members who have research staffing needs with members whose teams have capacity to provide staffing assistance.
- The Michigan Institute for Clinical & Health Research (MICHR) continues to offer free professional protocol writing support, including templates and brief consultation. This service is open to faculty across U-M for any study that meets the NIH definition of a clinical trial.

OUR EXPERTS
Groundbreaking research, innovation, and intellectual energy
| | A new National Poll on Healthy Aging reveals major gaps in knowledge and preparation for long-term care among Americans aged 50 and older. Nearly two-thirds (62%) mistakenly believe that Medicare would pay for their care if they needed to permanently move into a nursing home. But Medicare generally does not pay for this type of care—nor does it compensate family members who provide care at home. | | | |

As teen social media use continues to grow, so do concerns about its impact on their mental health. In this video, Jane Harness, D.O., clinical assistant professor of psychiatry, discusses her research on how teens perceive social media and its effects on their well-being.
Her insights are drawn from the MyVoice program, which surveyed youth ages 14–24 across the U.S. about their social media habits, how they manage their use, and the advice they would offer to peers. The study revealed that teens are especially concerned about online safety—frequently warning against sharing personal information, engaging with strangers, and clicking on location-tracking links.
| | | A new study led by Kao-Ping Chua, M.D., Ph.D., associate professor of pediatrics, shows patients were less likely to continue to fill buprenorphine prescriptions and more likely to pay for buprenorphine with cash or private insurance if they lived in states with the biggest versus smallest Medicaid enrollment drops. | | | |
A new study in JAMA Internal Medicine reveals a concerning decline in self-reported mental health among mothers in the U.S. between 2016 and 2023. Analyzing data from nearly 200,000 participants in the National Survey of Children’s Health, Lindsay Admon, M.D., M.Sc., associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology, and her colleagues found that the percentage of mothers rating their mental health as fair or poor rose by 3.5 percentage points over the eight-year period, representing a 63.6 percent increase from the baseline prevalence of 5.5 percent in 2016.
