Hello, we would like guidance on using the $10,000.

Comments & Events

Laura Fox, Environmental Public Health Tracking Epidemiologist
Going off of what Stephanie Hasanali Stephanie  asks here, we would like a little more guidance in how to spend these funds as well. Could CSTE provide examples on how the first cohort spent these funds?
Kacy Chrestman, Program Analyst at CSTE
We are working on a guiding document to help answer those questions, and I expect to post it this week. I can give you a few ideas now though.  Software, conference attendance, even things like RStudio or ArcGIS training are available to your team with your stipend. Hardware or personnel salary would be items that are not acceptable expenditures. 
Laura Fox, Environmental Public Health Tracking Epidemiologist
Thank you!
Max Habicht
We're interested in using some of the stipend for conference attendance, however, we're wondering if the funds can be allocated to others in our team other than those only on the DSTT team?  Thanks for your time! 
Kacy Chrestman, Program Analyst at CSTE
DSTT team members would be the only people that would be able to use the available funds. 
Rishi Kowalski, Opioid Epidemiologist IV, Cook County Department of Public Health
Hi Kacy Chrestman, Program Analyst at CSTE Kacy , has that document been posted? I wasn't able to find it on the documents page. Thanks! 
Kacy Chrestman, Program Analyst at CSTE
It hasn't, I'm sorry. We had a delay on our end, but we have the information now, and I am finishing up the document to post this week! Thank you for your patience. Things changed this year, so we're having to double check what is and isn't allowed, and I don't want to give anyone incorrect information!
