Mentoring/Career Development in PTSD Services Research

描述（由申请人提供）：再次提交此修订后的提案，以请求支持B. Christopher Frueh博士继续指导临床研究者并开展以患者为导向的心理健康服务研究。他的主要兴趣是向公共部门的创伤幸存者提供心理健康服务，包括解决农村差距和相关公共政策的努力。他曾担任八项与该领域相关的联邦资助研究项目的PI，包括向创伤受害者提供心理健康服务（K08； NIMH），精神病学环境中的创伤（R01； NIMH）和向创伤受害者提供远程精神病学服务（R01； AHRQ）。除了他作为一名高质量的研究人员的声誉和他在精神卫生服务方面的良好资助记录外，这位候选人还拥有出色的指导记录。在过去的13年里，他为许多成功的心理学家、精神病学住院医生和来自不同学科的初级教师调查者提供了重要的指导。他的近期目标是继续指导初级调查人员，并获得新的技能，以协助他继续他自己的病人为导向的心理健康服务研究。为此，他将获得卫生经济学方面的技能和知识，并将提交R01进行临床试验，以评估使用视频会议（“远程保健”）应用程序向创伤幸存者提供服务的有效性和成本效益，以解决农村资源利用方面的差异。他的长期目标是通过该奖项提供的机会，继续在与公共部门机构服务的创伤幸存者相关的心理健康服务和经济研究领域发展独特的专业知识。这些专业知识将使他能够更好地指导初级研究人员在未来开展以患者为导向的精神卫生服务研究。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This revised proposal is resubmitted to request support for B. Christopher Frueh, Ph.D. in his continued efforts to mentor clinical investigators and to conduct patient-oriented mental health services research. His main interest is mental health service delivery to trauma survivors in the public sector, including efforts that will address rural disparities and relevant public policy. He has served as PI on eight federally-funded research grants relevant to this arena, including Mental Health Service Delivery to Trauma Victims (K08; NIMH), Trauma within the Psychiatric Setting (R01; NIMH), and Telepsychiatry Service Delivery to Trauma Victims (R01; AHRQ). Besides his reputation as a quality researcher and his strong track record of funding in mental health services, the candidate has an excellent record of mentorship. He has provided critical mentorship to a large number of successful pre- and post-doctoral psychologists, psychiatry residents, and junior faculty investigators from a range of disciplines (> 25 total mentees) over the past thirteen years. His immediate goals are to continue to mentor junior investigators, and to acquire new skills to assist him in continuing his own patient-oriented mental health services research. Toward this end, he will acquire skills and knowledge in health economics, and will submit an R01 for a clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of using videoconferencing ("telehealth") applications to provide service delivery to trauma survivors, in order to address disparities in rural resource utilization. His long-term goal is to continue to develop a unique expertise in the area of mental health services and economic research relevant to trauma survivors served in via public sector agencies through the opportunities afforded by this award. This expertise will better enable him to mentor junior researchers in conducting patient-oriented mental health services research in the future.
