DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): For more than a decade, NIMH has provided support to the National Association for Rural Mental Health's (NARMH) Annual Conference by sponsoring and traveling plenary speakers, panel presentations, and individual researcher presentations. However, this process has been full of uncertainty involving last minute decisions regarding funding availability. This uncertainty has resulted in the NARMH's Annual Conference being unable to support and "showcase" rural and frontier researchers and research to the extent necessary to forward the rural and frontier research agenda. This grant would provide five years of support to NARMH for its Annual Conference. This stable and predictable support would enable NARMH to achieve the following broad goals: 1) Provide an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to disseminate current findings on service system research and interventions specific to rural and frontier areas, 2) foster a network of individuals who are interested in conducting and using this research. Specific goals for current and future Annual Conferences are to present research findings on the following topics: 1) Outcome assessment of an intervention curriculum designed to encourage and assist farm families to utilize their mental health care and enhance their mental health status, 2) Evaluation of innovative new service system financing models appropriate for rural and frontier communities, 3) Monitoring the increasing cultural diversity of rural areas and assessing the implications for clinical training and practice to ensure that providers are sensitive to the cultural views that diverse populations have regarding mental health treatment, 4) Development of practice-based guidelines for rural mental health care, 5) Can diagnosis and treatment of mental health problems be delivered through telemental health at least as effectively as care delivered face to face? 6) What can we learn from other countries and the models they use for improving rural mental health service delivery? A Conference Planning Committee will be created comprised of individuals who represent specific areas of expertise including mental health research; mental health policy; public sector research; government and university researchers; consumer/survivors; family members; and representatives from CMHS and NIMH. This group will be responsible for establishing a strategic direction and substantive focus for NARMH conferences over the five-year period of the grant, as well as helping to plan each year's conference. The Conference Planning Committee will convene twice a year, in a face-to-face meeting at the Annual Conference and through a teleconference in November. In addition, this grant will also support the participation at each year conference's of NIMH funded mental health services researchers and dissemination of their research findings.

描述（由申请人提供）：十多年来，NIMH通过赞助和巡回全体演讲者，小组演讲和个人研究人员演讲，为全国农村心理健康协会（NARMH）年会提供支持。然而，这一进程充满了不确定性，涉及到在最后一刻就资金供应作出的决定。这种不确定性导致NARMH的年度会议无法支持和“展示”农村和前沿研究人员和研究，以推进农村和前沿研究议程。这笔赠款将为NARMH的年度会议提供五年的支持。这种稳定和可预测的支持将使NARMH能够实现以下广泛的目标：1）为研究人员和从业人员提供机会，以传播关于服务系统研究和针对农村和边境地区的干预措施的最新研究结果，2）培养有兴趣进行和使用这项研究的个人网络。目前和今后年度会议的具体目标是就以下专题提出研究结果：（1）对旨在鼓励和帮助农村家庭利用其精神保健和提高其精神健康状况的干预课程进行结果评估，（2）对适合农村和边境社区的创新性新服务系统融资模式进行评估，3）监测农村地区日益增加的文化多样性，并评估临床培训和实践的影响，以确保提供者对不同人群对精神卫生治疗的文化观点保持敏感，4）制定基于实践的农村精神卫生保健指南，5）通过远程健康提供心理健康问题的诊断和治疗是否至少与面对面提供的护理一样有效？6)我们可以从其他国家以及他们用于改善农村精神卫生服务提供的模式中学到什么？ 会议规划委员会将由代表特定专业领域的个人组成，包括心理健康研究;心理健康政策;公共部门研究;政府和大学研究人员;消费者/幸存者;家庭成员;以及CMHS和NIMH的代表。该小组将负责在赠款的五年期间为NARMH会议制定战略方向和实质性重点，并帮助规划每年的会议。会议规划委员会将每年召开两次会议，一次是在年度会议期间举行的面对面会议，另一次是在11月举行的电话会议。此外，这笔赠款还将支持NIMH资助的精神卫生服务研究人员参加每年的会议，并传播他们的研究成果。
