HSR&D Senior Research Career Scientist Award

这项拟议的高级研究职业科学家(SRS)奖是为了支持Dr。 Matthew Maciejeski，健康经济学家，研究职业科学家，一位老牌 退伍军人事务部(退伍军人事务部)卫生服务研究与发展部(HSR&D) 研究人员，使他能够扩大他的科学、指导和服务贡献。Dr。 Maciejeski的研究重点是改善患有肥胖症或退伍军人的护理和预后 多种慢性病。这项研究很重要，因为患有肥胖症或 多种慢性病导致退伍军人管理局支出和人口的比例不成比例- 有效改善他们的健康和保健的基于保健的模式尚未建立。 为了解决这些重要人群，Maciejeski博士的研究特别关注 开展政策和规划的准试验性比较有效性研究 旨在帮助患有肥胖症或多种慢性病的退伍军人。这些项目的目标是 评估是指现有的计划和政策是否按预期发挥作用，以及哪些退伍军人 实现他们的最大利益。 在他20年的退伍军人生涯中，Maciejeski博士作为校长获得了HSR&D资金 来自AHRQ的8个IIR、2个R01和1个R21的调查员(PI)，来自NIDA的持续R01，2个RWJ 来自CMS的氟氯烃燃料组织赠款和合同资金已进入第6个年头。他也一直是一个联合- 其他退伍军人管理局和非退伍军人管理局补助金的调查员。Maciejeski博士作为PI的研究 帮助制定证据，证明接受了所有或 他们在社区门诊的部分护理和2002年退伍军人管理局药物的影响 共同赔付增加。最重要的是，Maciejeski博士和他的团队建立了证据 退伍军人接受减肥手术的长期结果。有了NIDA R01的资金，他 现在正在检查长期的精神健康结果，这些结果还没有在退伍军人管理局或 非退伍军人外科手术队列。 除了Maciejeski博士的研究活动外，他还在国家和国际 委员会。最近的活动包括为退伍军人事务部HSR&D拨款审查小组提供服务，并担任 2016年高铁与研发关于体重管理的最新会议。目前，Maciejeski博士 担任合作循证政策资源中心(PEPReC)技术中心主席 咨询委员会，并作为研究数据可持续发展小组的联合负责人，负责 促进在退伍军人管理局过渡期间可供重复使用的管理和临床数据的连续性 去赛尔纳EHR。他是JAMA的统计副主编，并担任社论 高铁的董事会。提供退伍军人事务部HSR&D SRS奖将使Maciejeski博士能够提高他的 对退伍军人事务部HSR&D任务的研究、指导和服务贡献将继续进行 严格的非随机化比较有效性研究，增加他对当地 和国家退伍军人委员会，并培训下一代卫生服务研究人员。

This proposed Senior Research Career Scientist (SRS) award is to support the activities of Dr. Matthew Maciejewski, a health economist, Research Career Scientist and an established Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Health Services Research and Development (HSR&D) investigator, allowing him expand his scientific, mentoring and service contributions. Dr. Maciejewski’s research focuses on improving care and outcomes for Veterans with obesity or multiple chronic conditions. This research is important because Veterans with obesity or multiple chronic conditions incur a disproportionate share of VA expenditures and population- based care models that effectively improve their health and health care are not yet established. To address these important populations, Dr. Maciejewski’s research particularly focuses on conducting quasi-experimental comparative effectiveness research of policies and programs designed to help Veterans with obesity or multiple chronic conditions. The goal of these evaluations is to whether existing programs and policies work as intended and which Veterans realize the greatest benefits from them. During his 20-year VA career, Dr. Maciejewski obtained HSR&D funding as Principal Investigator (PI) for 8 IIRs, 2 R01s and 1 R21 from AHRQ, an ongoing R01 from NIDA, 2 RWJ HCFO grants and contract funding from CMS that is in its 6th year. He has also been a co- investigator on three dozen other VA and non-VA grants. Dr. Maciejewski’s studies as PI helped to develop evidence on the utilization and quality of care for patients who received all or part of their care at community-based outpatient clinics and impacts of the 2002 VA medication copayment increase. Mostly importantly, Dr. Maciejewski and his team established evidence on the long-term outcomes of Veterans receiving bariatric surgery. With NIDA R01 funding, he is now examining long-term mental health outcomes that have not been widely examined in VA or non-VA surgical cohorts. In addition to Dr. Maciejewski’s research activities, he has served on national and international committees. Recent activities include service on VA HSR&D grant review panels and co-chair of the 2016 HSR&D State of the Art Meeting on Weight Management. Currently, Dr. Maciejewski serves as Chair of Partnered Evidence-Based Policy Resource Center’s (PEPReC) Technical Advisory Committee and as co-lead of the Research Data Sustainability Team responsible for facilitating continuity of administrative and clinical data available for reuse as the VA transitions to the Cerner EHR. He is a Statistical Associate Editor for JAMA and serves on the editorial board for HSR. Provision of a VA HSR&D SRS award will allow Dr. Maciejewski to enhance his research, mentoring and service contributions to the VA HSR&D mission to continue to conduct of rigorous non-randomized comparative effectiveness studies, increase his participation in local and national VA committees and train the next generation of health services researchers.
