MIDCAREER INVESTIGATOR AWARD-PATIENT-ORIENTED RESEARCH

艾里斯河贝尔，医学博士（H -亚利桑那州）博士FACN BCIA（C）正在申请一个中期职业生涯研究者奖在以患者为导向的研究（K24）。她的重点领域是多变量设计和分析，以系统理论方法作为启发式工具，研究补充和替代（CAM）疗法与传统医学的整合。她非常适合这个奖项作为一个有成就的教育家/导师和临床研究人员。她目前是亚利桑那大学和图森VA医疗中心的精神病学，心理学，家庭和社区医学终身副教授，附属于中西医结合项目的研究副主任。她的培训包括传统医学，神经科学，精神病学和CAM模式，如生物反馈和放松，环境医学，营养学和经典顺势疗法。她是委员会认证的老年精神病学，认证的临床生物反馈，荣幸地作为一个研究员的美国营养学院，并授权作为顺势疗法在亚利桑那州。她一直资助作为一个独立的研究人员在CAM相关领域的研究，如营养和环境医学连续从1984年至1990年和1992年至今，从联邦和私人机构。她在环境医学的研究项目已被广泛认为是从基础科学到临床相关性的重要转化工作。她的主要长期目标是作为一名临床科学家工作，并在中西医结合的前沿教学，使用最合适的理论和经验工具，从一系列的方法，包括健康结果研究的多变量统计方法和非线性心理生理学技术CAM治疗期间愈合的研究。未来五年的目标包括：A）获得多元统计健康结果和非线性心理生理分析技术的新方法技能，并在预防医学和健康结果方面建立新的合作网络; B）实施一项正在进行的积极研究计划，该计划将建立在目前资助的项目基础上;和C）建立和发展一个指导计划，为临床医生，科学家研究员在亚利桑那大学计划在整合医学的一个严格的方法，整合医学研究。她目前的研究是i）环境医学和ii）CAM利用。在获奖期间，Bell博士将增加新的研究：i）多维CAM治疗反应结果的测量; ii）CAM治疗愈合效果的非线性生物标志物（例如心动周期变异性;非线性和线性EEG变化）。

Iris R. Bell, MD MD(H - Arizona) PhD FACN BCIA(C) is applying for a Mid-Career Investigator Award in Patient-Oriented Research (K24). Her focus area is multivariate design and analysis, with examination of a systems-theory approach as a heuristic tool to study the integration of complementary and alternative (CAM) therapies with conventional medicine. She is well-suited for this award as an accomplished educator/mentor and Clinical researcher. She is presently a tenured Associate Professor of Psychiatry, Psychology, and Family and Community Medicine at the University of Arizona and the Tucson VA Medical Center, affiliated as Associate Director for Research with the Program in Integrative Medicine. Her training includes both conventional medicine, neuroscience, and psychiatry and CAM modalities such as biofeedback and relaxation, environmental medicine, nutrition, and classical homeopathy. She is Board- certified in geriatric psychiatry, certified in Clinical biofeedback, honored as a fellow of the American College of Nutrition, and licensed as a homeopath in the State of Arizona. She has been funded as an independent investigator for research in CAM-related areas such as nutrition and environmental medicine continuously from 1984-90 and from 1992 to the present, from federal and private agencies. Her research program in environmental medicine has been widely recognized as significant translational work from basic science into clinical relevance. Her principal long-term goal is to work as a Clinician-scientist and teach at the frontiers of integrative medicine, using the most appropriate theoretical and empirical tools from a range of methodologies, including multivariate statistical methods for health outcomes research and nonlinear psychophysiological techniques for studies of healing during CAM treatments. Objectives for the next five years include: A) acquire new methodological skills in multivariate statistical health outcomes and nonlinear psychophysiological analysis techniques and establish new collaborative networks in preventive medicine and health outcomes; B) implement an ongoing, active research program that will build upon currently funded projects; and C) establish and develop a mentorship program for clinician-scientist fellows in the University of Arizona Program in Integrative Medicine for a rigorous approach to integrative medicine research. Her present studies are on i) environmental medicine and ii) CAM utilization. During the award period, Dr. Bell will add new studies on i) measurement of multidimensional CAM treatment response outcomes; ii) nonlinear biomarkers (e.g. heart period variability; nonlinear as well as linear EEG changes) of CAM treatment effects in healing.
