    An interdisciplinary exploration of the treatment gap in self-injurious behavior in intellectual and developmental disabilities
    (2024-04) Roberts, Caroline
    This is an exploratory multi-paper dissertation on the topic of treatment access for self-injurious behavior (SIB) in intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). In the introduction I orient the reader to the relevant history of science and methodological approach. Then, in three papers I harness the power of experiential knowledge and interdisciplinarity through reflexive thematic analysis and knowledge translation. In Paper 1, A qualitative analysis of family caregiver experiences accessing treatment for self-injurious behavior in individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, I explore the experiences of family caregivers interacting with providers to access treatment for SIB in IDD and present a working model of treatment pathways. In Paper 2, Interdisciplinarity and self-injury: Toward an inclusive research and treatment paradigm, I explore the possibility of an interdisciplinary study of self-injury in individuals with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities. In Paper 3, Stakeholder beliefs: An interdisciplinary exploration of the treatment gap in self-injurious behavior in intellectual and developmental disabilities, I consider the specific role of the beliefs of caregivers, researchers, and clinicians in treatment access. I conclude with a synthesis of the three papers, their shared contribution, implications for research and practice, limitations, and future directions.

    Transforming the University: Preliminary Recommendations of the Task Force on Collaborative Research
    (University of Minnesota, 2006-03-27) Lawrenz, Frances; Paller, Mark S.
    The University must: • enhance the value of collaborative research and foster a culture in which it can flourish • provide incentives and recognition for collaborative work • develop mechanisms for bringing scholars together to promote the synergy provided by collaborative work • develop, recruit, retain, and provide opportunities for highly talented researchers to lead and administer important collaborative projects • support educational and training opportunities to make collaborative research understood and accessible to all participants • publicize internally and externally the important findings and outcomes of collaborative work

    Transforming the University: Preliminary Recommendations of the Task Force on Graduate Reform: Discipline Evolution
    (University of Minnesota, 2006-03-27) Ekker, Stephen C.; Garner, Shirley Nelson
    The Discipline Evolution Task Force identifies the following five recommendations as having the greatest potential for transforming the University commensurate with its Strategic Positioning goals: • Establish a named and high-profile institute, modeled after the Radcliffe Institute at Harvard University... to support interdisciplinary scholarship at the University of Minnesota. • Create internal faculty exchanges whereby faculty members work in a department or program other than their own for a semester or two.... • Establish a program similar to the faculty exchange program for graduate students to enable them to develop interdisciplinary expertise.... • Seed and, when appropriate, provide long-term support to new and transformational research initiatives that bring together teams of highly talented faculty and students.... • Implement meaningful systems for assessing existing centers, including the expectation that new and existing centers will close after five years unless there is a cogent rationale to continue them....
