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 题为“维持公共学术研究合作”(SPARC)，将为圣安东尼奥德克萨斯大学健康科学中心的研究人员与圣安东尼奥社区心理健康机构卫生保健服务中心 (CHCS) 的干预研究伙伴关系开发基础设施。它建立在 PI 和联合 PI 与该机构当前积极的研究关系的基础上。目标是建立有效的公共学术研究合作的机制和途径，这种合作将是互惠互利的，其结果将与社区环境中治疗的精神疾病患者高度相关。主要重点是识别和克服研究合作的临床、管理和态度障碍。为实现更有效和富有成效的研究伙伴关系而提出的干预措施包括改变员工培训、制定鼓励机构与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、利用研究者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输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仁慈的环境，以优化干预措施和实践研究。可能影响服务获取、设计和交付的种族/文化因素将成为重点关注的焦点。将完善合作状态的衡量标准并指导其进展。为了传播这些努力的成果，将开发一个工具包来协助在其他环境中实施。两项试点干预研究将解决社区心理健康环境中循证实践研究的规划和执行问题。衡量每种干预措施对患者结果和医院使用的影响将指导全面后续研究的开展。这项工作将通过促进在通常提供这些服务的环境中以及通常接受这些服务的人的研究，有助于改进精神卫生服务的设计和提供。为接受治疗的人设计和定制的治疗应该可以改善心理健康结果。
