What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided? OUTPUTS: ACTIVITIES: Three papers are currently in process, two of which have been presented or accepted for presentation at national professional conferences, with expected submission to peer reviewed journals during 2013. EVENTS: The P-1, a masters student, and an undergraduate student presented a co-authored paper on the academic performance of student veterans at a national meeting (American Sociological Association, Denver, Colorado, August 2012). The P-1 presented a paper on the characteristics of communities of origin for active duty enlistees at the USU Demography Research Seminar (October 2012). The P-1, a doctoral student, and an undergraduate, have had a co-authored paper on the relationship between enlistee human capital characteristics and the social, demographic, and economic profiles of their communities of origin, accepted for presentation at a major national meeting -- the Population Association of America -- to be held in New Orleans in April 2013. SERVICES: The P-1 participated in an Extension conference at USU, presenting on "Serving the Servers: Mobilizing Extension to Meet Military Needs," March 2012 EDUCATION/TRAINING: Four graduate students and five undergraduates gained research experience working on this project. PARTICIPANTS: Individuals Amy Kate Bailey, Assistant Professor of Sociology, Utah State University, is the principal investigator for this project. Graduate students involved with the project are as follows: Madisen Drury and Mary Fugate, both masters' students in sociology; Karin Abel, a doctoral student in sociology; and Brooke Lambert, a masters' student in HPER. Undergraduate students who worked on the project are: Hannah Randall, Stepfan Huntsman, David Sobel, D. Brian Kartchner, and Marina Hernandez. All students received either wages, academic credit, research certification on their transcripts, or a combination of these. TARGET AUDIENCES: Those served by the project include Utah Extension Officers, and four undergraduate and five graduate students at Utah State University. One of the graduate students and three of the undergraduate students are first in their families to go to college. Two of the students are Hispanic and two are LGBT. PROJECT MODIFICATIONS: Nothing significant to report during this reporting period. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?

OUTPUTS: This project was newly funded in August 2011. As such, there are no outputs to report for 2011. PARTICIPANTS: Individuals Amy Kate Bailey, Assistant Professor of Sociology, Utah State University, is the principal investigator for this project. Training or professional development During the fall 2011 academic semester, one graduate student and one undergraduate student gained experience on this research project. They are: Madisen B. Drury, who expects to receive her M.S. in Sociology during the Spring 2012 semester, and is continuing on the project until her graduation; Hannah L. Randall, who will earn a B.S. in Psychology during the Spring 2012 semester, and is continuing to work on the project until her graduation. These students participated in conducting a review of the literature and completing IRB applications. We have also conducted outreach to several of our intended collaborators, requesting data from six state-level National Guard commands, as well as from the Utah State University veterans' resource and academic advising offices. Ms. Drury conducted phone outreach to these commands to identify the appropriate channels for requesting data, and collaborated with me on the requests. In addition, Ms. Randall began construction of a database to identify deployments among Utah's National Guard units. Finally, we have begun work on a co-authored manuscript that we are submitting to the American Sociological Association for consideration for presentation at the 2012 annual meetings. Collaborators and contacts We have contacted the following individuals at National Guard state commands to request data in support of Objective2 and Objective 3. Lt. Col. Rick Blower, Judge Advocate General's Office, Nevada National Guard; LTC D. M. Dahle ,Idaho National Guard; Elsa I. Gipson, Chief Warrant Officer 2, Colorado National Guard; Jennifer Nikolaisen, Chief, Office of Information and Privacy, Freedom of Information Act/Privacy Officer, National Guard Bureau (for archived Wyoming data); Francisco Romero, Wyoming National Guard; Rachel L. Spirlin, SGC, Montana National Guard; MG Brian Tarbat, Utah National Guard We have also submitted data requests to Tony Flores, director of Utah State University's veterans' resource office, and Steve Johnson in the academic advising office. We anticipate receiving data to conduct preliminary analyses in support of Objective 4 and Objective 5 within the next few weeks. TARGET AUDIENCES: Target audiences for future outputs and outcomes for this project include members of the scientific and academic communities, local social service providers and policy-makers, as well as members of the military. PROJECT MODIFICATIONS: There are no major changes to report at this time.
Impacts
There are currently no outcomes or impacts to report, as this project is only in its beginning stages.
