DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This IP-RISP, entitled "Sustaining Public-Academic Research Collaborations" (SPARC), will develop infrastructure for an interventions research partnership of investigators at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio with the Center for Health Care Services (CHCS), the community mental health agency for San Antonio. It builds on current active research relationships of the PI and co-PI with the agency. The goal is to create mechanisms and pathways to productive public-academic research collaborations that will be mutually beneficial, and results of which will be highly relevant to persons with mental illness treated in community settings. A major focus is on identifying and overcoming clinical, administrative, and attitudinal impediments to research collaborations. Proposed interventions to achieve a more effective and productive research partnership include changes in employee training, developing a research review process that encourages agency-researcher interactions and involvement of stakeholders, developing specific CHCS positions to facilitate research, use of investigator expertise to assist the agency in improving clinical care and program evaluation, and developing computer-based procedures for information sharing and transfer to improve clinical care of research subjects and researcher access to agency data. The goal of these interventions is to create an environment of mutual trust and beneficence that allows optimization of interventions and practice research. Ethnic/cultural factors that can impact service access, design, and delivery will be a key focus. Measures of the state of the collaboration will be refined and will guide its progress. To disseminate the results of these efforts, a toolkit to assist implementation in other settings will be developed. Two pilot intervention studies will address issues in planning and executing studies of evidence-based practices in community mental health settings. Measures of each intervention's effects on patient outcomes and hospital use will guide development of full-scale follow-up studies. This work will contribute to improved design and delivery of mental health services by facilitating research in the settings where these services are usually provided, with the persons who usually receive them. Treatments designed and tailored for those receiving them should improve mental health outcomes.

描述（由申请人提供）：该IP-RISP名为“持续公共学术研究合作”（SPARC），将为圣安东尼奥德克萨斯大学健康科学中心与圣安东尼奥社区精神卫生机构卫生保健服务中心（CHCS）的研究人员的干预研究伙伴关系开发基础设施。它建立在PI和共同PI与该机构目前积极的研究关系的基础上。其目标是建立机制和途径，实现富有成效的公共学术研究合作，这将是互利的，其结果将与在社区环境中接受治疗的精神疾病患者高度相关。一个主要的重点是确定和克服临床、行政和态度障碍的研究合作。为实现更有效和更富有成效的研究伙伴关系，建议的干预措施包括员工培训的变化，制定鼓励机构-研究人员互动和利益相关者参与的研究审查流程，制定具体的CHCS职位以促进研究，利用研究人员的专业知识协助机构改善临床护理和项目评估，开发基于计算机的信息共享和传递程序，以改善研究对象的临床护理和研究人员对机构数据的访问。这些干预措施的目标是创造一个相互信任和慈善的环境，使干预措施和实践研究最优化。可能影响服务访问、设计和交付的种族/文化因素将成为重点。协作状态的衡量标准将得到完善，并将指导其进展。为了传播这些努力的成果，将编制一个工具包，以协助在其他情况下的执行工作。两项试点干预研究将解决在社区精神卫生环境中规划和执行循证实践研究中的问题。衡量每种干预措施对患者预后和医院使用的影响将指导开展全面的后续研究。这项工作将促进在通常提供这些服务的环境中与通常接受这些服务的人进行研究，从而有助于改进精神卫生服务的设计和提供。为那些接受治疗的人设计和量身定制的治疗方法应该能改善心理健康状况。
