Mentoring and Patient-Oriented Research in Mind and Body Practices

在过去的17年里，娜塔莉亚莫隆博士在以患者为导向的研究（POR）中建立了她的研究生涯。 和综合性非药物干预来治疗慢性疼痛，特别是正念干预 慢性腰痛（CLBP）她的研究组合也延伸到正念通过电子传递 保健（电子保健）和远程保健。她在研究、出版、教学和 指导。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 通过实用的临床试验将cLBP的治疗纳入临床环境。她指导医学院的学生， 住院医生研究员博士后和初级教员学员们继续接受联邦拨款资助， 在同行评审的期刊上发表了他们的工作，并在当地和全国范围内介绍了他们的工作。 与未来生物医学研究队伍的管道合作对于培养下一代至关重要 补充和整合医学（CIM）研究人员。她有一个长期的承诺， 促进研究中代表性不足的群体（URG）的职业生涯，目前是U奖的多PI 通过对12个月职业发展干预措施的评估，保留研究中的URG。有一个 越来越多的证据表明，身心练习是治疗慢性疾病的有效方法。 然而，在临床实践中的实施并没有广泛发生。电子健康方法还可以 促进身心实践与临床环境的整合。该奖项将是提供 为扩大候选人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利用 技术，以促进患者参与这些做法。她会利用波士顿大学 临床和转化科学研究所（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治疗。2.利用先进技术提供身心练习 治疗慢性疾病3.指导和培训下一代的中西医结合研究者 在以病人为导向的临床研究中严格的身心实践。K24研究项目将 将Morone博士的研究扩展到实施科学和电子健康领域。该提案旨在 为学员提供丰富的研究项目来源，以培养POR的研究人员， CIM和推进正念领域的慢性医疗条件通过实施科学和 电子保健。BU CTSI的丰富资源将是指导的必要组成部分。莫隆医生 致力于超过8年，以增加研究URG的多样性，这将继续是她的重点 为这个奖项做指导。

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.
