DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The clinical and public health significance of eating disorders and obesity are well-documented, yet these problems are known to be resistant to treatment. This application is a request for an NIMH mid-career Investigator Award in Patient Oriented Research (K24) in order to relieve me from clinical, administrative, and teaching duties, to ensure 50% protected time for mentoring activities and patient-oriented research in the fields of eating disorders and obesity. This application will focus on an expansion of my research in intervention and prevention of eating disorders and obesity, areas in which I currently have three ongoing NIH-funded studies: "Effectiveness of Psychological treatments for BED" (R01 MH64153), "Interventions to Reduce Eating Disorder Risk Factors" (R01 MH60453), and Childhood Obesity: A Maintenance Approach" (R01 HD36904). These grants focus on, respectively: the long-term effectiveness of three distinct treatments for binge eating disorder (BED); the evaluation of an Internet program designed to reduce risk factors for and incidence of eating disorders; and the efficacy of two family-based treatments intended to improve long-term maintenance of weight loss in children. My overarching goals during the award period and in the long- term are: 1) to continue identifying and developing efficacious treatments for eating disorders and obesity; 2) to apply concepts and methods from basic behavioral science to the study of eating disorders and obesity in order to improve and refine treatments; 3) to clarify the diagnostic status of BED; 4) to investigate the role of familial and social factors in the etiology, prevention, and treatment of eating disorders and obesity; 5) to develop early intervention and prevention strategies aimed at preventing comorbidity, relapse, and disability in eating disorders and obesity; 6) to identify risk and protective factors for co-occurring illnesses, with particular attention to the links between eating disorders and obesity; and 7) to increase my training and mentoring of future clinical scientists, an area where I have already demonstrated strong commitment. I plan to build on my strengths by acquiring expertise in advanced research designs and methods; translational research; eating behavior, development, and psychopathology in children and adolescents; and metabolic processes and precise assessments of energy intake and expenditure. Becoming more knowledgeable in these areas will allow me to perform innovative research and provide enhanced opportunities for clinical researchers under my tutelage. Given the high morbidity and mortality associated with eating disorders and obesity, a continued refinement of treatment approaches and focus on early intervention and prevention is required to augment the rates of successful treatment responders and decrease the incidence of eating disorders and obesity.

描述(由申请人提供)：饮食失调和肥胖的临床和公共卫生意义已有很好的文件记录，但这些问题已知对治疗具有抵抗力。这份申请是对NIMH以患者为中心的研究(K24)职业中期研究员奖的请求，以将我从临床、行政和教学职责中解放出来，以确保在饮食失调和肥胖领域的指导活动和以患者为中心的研究有50%的保护时间。这项申请将专注于扩展我在干预和预防饮食失调和肥胖方面的研究，目前我在这些领域有三项正在进行的NIH资助研究：“床上心理治疗的有效性”(R01 MH64153)、“减少饮食失调危险因素的干预措施”(R01 MH60453)以及“儿童肥胖：一种维持方法”(R01 HD36904)。这些赠款分别侧重于：针对暴饮暴食障碍(Bed)的三种不同疗法的长期有效性；旨在减少饮食失调风险因素和发病率的互联网计划的评估；以及旨在改善儿童长期减肥的两种基于家庭的治疗的有效性。我在获奖期间和长期的总体目标是：1)继续寻找和开发治疗饮食失调和肥胖症的有效方法；2)将基本行为科学的概念和方法应用于饮食失调和肥胖症的研究，以改进和改进治疗方法；3)澄清BED的诊断地位；4)调查家庭和社会因素在饮食失调和肥胖症的病因、预防和治疗中的作用；5)制定旨在预防饮食失调和肥胖症的共病、复发和残疾的早期干预和预防策略；6)确定共病的风险和保护因素，特别注意饮食失调和肥胖之间的联系；以及7)加强我对未来临床科学家的培训和指导，这是我已经表现出强烈承诺的一个领域。我计划通过在高级研究设计和方法、翻译研究、儿童和青少年的饮食行为、发育和精神病理学以及新陈代谢过程和能量摄入和消耗的准确评估方面的专业知识来增强我的优势。在这些领域变得更有见识，将使我能够进行创新研究，并为我指导下的临床研究人员提供更多机会。鉴于与饮食失调和肥胖相关的高发病率和高死亡率，需要继续改进治疗方法，并注重早期干预和预防，以提高治疗反应成功率，降低饮食失调和肥胖症的发生率。
