Mentoring and Patient-Oriented Research in Mind and Body Practices

在过去的17年里，Natalia Morone博士在以患者为导向的研究(POR)中建立了她的研究生涯 以及治疗慢性疼痛的综合非药物干预，特别是正念干预 用于慢性下腰痛(CLBP)。她的研究组合还扩展到通过电子技术提供的正念 健康(EHealth)和远程健康。她在研究、出版、教学和 辅导。她的KL2奖和R01专注于cLBP的综合治疗，她的R34扩展到 正念电子健康治疗高血压。她目前的UH3奖旨在将正念转化为 通过务实的临床试验将慢性腰痛纳入临床环境。她指导医科学生， 住院医生、研究员、博士后和初级教员。被辅导者继续接受联邦拨款， 在同行评议的期刊上发表了他们的工作，并在地方和全国范围内展示了他们的工作。 与未来生物医学研究队伍的管道合作对培养下一代至关重要 补充和综合医学(CIM)研究人员。她长期致力于 在研究中促进未被充分代表的群体(URG)的职业生涯，目前是U-奖的多重PI 通过评估为期12个月的职业发展干预，将URG保留在研究中。有一个 越来越多的证据表明，精神和身体练习是治疗慢性疾病的有效方法。 然而，实施到临床实践中并没有广泛发生。电子健康方法也可以 促进精神和身体实践与临床环境的整合。这一奖项将是提供 为扩大应聘者的研究和增加她的指导所需的专用保护时间 实施针对慢性疾病的身心实践和治理的能力 促进患者参与这些实践的技术。她将利用波士顿大学 临床与翻译科学研究所(BU CTSI)丰富的培训、教育和支持资源 研究以确保她的学员的成功。该项目的目标是：1.实施身心练习 用于慢性疾病的临床护理。2.利用技术提供精神和身体练习 治疗慢性疾病。3.指导和培养下一代中西医结合研究人员 在以病人为中心的临床研究中严格的精神和身体实践。K24研究项目将 将莫龙博士的研究扩展到实施科学和电子健康领域。这项提议已被制定为 为受训者提供丰富的研究项目来源，这些项目将发展POR和 CIM并通过实施科学和实施促进慢性疾病的正念领域 电子健康。BU CTSI的丰富资源将是辅导的必要组成部分。莫龙医生已经 8年多来致力于增加URG研究的多样性，这将继续是她的重点 这一奖项的导师。

Over the past 17 years Dr. Natalia Morone established her research career in patient-oriented research (POR) and integrative nonpharmacological interventions to treat chronic pain, particularly mindfulness interventions for chronic low back pain (cLBP). Her research portfolio also extends into mindfulness delivered via electronic Health (eHealth) and telehealth. She has an established record of research, publications, teaching, and mentoring. Her KL2 award and R01 focused on integrative treatment for cLBP and her R34 expanded into mindfulness eHealth for hypertension. Her current UH3 award seeks to translate mindfulness for the treatment of cLBP into the clinical setting via a pragmatic clinical trial. She mentors medical students, residents, fellows, post-docs, and junior faculty. Mentees have gone on to receive federal grant funding, have published their work in peer-reviewed journals and have presented their work both locally and nationally. Working with the pipeline of the future biomedical research workforce is critical to training the next generation of complementary and integrative medicine (CIM) investigators. She has a long-standing commitment to fostering the careers of underrepresented groups (URGs) in research and is currently the multi-PI of a U-award to retain URGs in research through the evaluation of a 12-month career development intervention. There is a growing evidence base that mind and body practices are effective treatment for chronic medical conditions. Yet implementation into clinical practice has not widely occurred. Electronic health approaches may also facilitate integration of mind and body practices into the clinical setting. This award will be key to providing the dedicated protected time necessary for expanding the candidate's research and increasing her mentoring capacity in the implementation of mind and body practices for chronic medical conditions and harnessing technology to facilitate engagement of patients in these practices. She will leverage the Boston University Clinical and Translational Science Institute's (BU CTSI) rich resources for training, education, and supporting research to ensure the success of her mentees. The project Aims are to: 1. Implement mind and body practices for chronic medical conditions into clinical care. 2. Harness technology to deliver mind and body practices for chronic medical conditions. 3. Mentor and train the next generation of integrative medicine investigators in rigorous mind and body practices in patient-oriented clinical research. The K24 research projects will expand Dr. Morone's research into implementation science and eHealth. This proposal has been developed to provide a rich source of research projects for mentees that will develop the pipeline of researchers in POR and CIM and advance the field of mindfulness for chronic medical conditions through implementation science and eHealth. The abundant resources of the BU CTSI will be a necessary component to mentoring. Dr. Morone has devoted over 8 years to increasing the diversity of URGs in research and this will continue to be a focus of her mentoring for this award.
