Implementation Research Institute for Mental Health Services IRI-MHS

 描述（由申请人提供）：为了响应PAR-14-304，NIMH心理健康研究教育指导网络，本申请寻求五年的支持，以建立，维护和维持一个创新的心理健康实施科学指导网络。该网络将以创造性的新方式扩展实施研究所（IRI，NIMH R25资助2009-2015），该研究所已成功培训了43名新的心理健康实施研究人员。实施科学对心理健康至关重要，大多数美国精神障碍患者接受的护理不理想，这在很大程度上是由于实施、可持续性和扩大循证治疗方面的挑战。培训需求远远超过供应，但只有少数项目培训实施研究人员，只有IRI在心理健康方面。因此，我们寻求一个一次性的，为期五年的更新IRI追求三个目标：（1）发展教师和研究员谁将推进科学和领导心理健康实施研究领域的指导网络;（2）评估IRI指导网络的成果，为培训的持续改进提供信息，并获得关于指导网络在加速合作中的作用的新知识，学术生产力和研究培训;（3）通过传播经验教训、培训模式和创建可持续指导网络的工具，将培训效益扩大到更广泛的领域。为了实现目标1，我们将进行一个创新的，不断更新的年度暑期研究所;促进网络合作和指导;准备IRI研究员在他们的家乡机构指导他人，从而扩大和维持IRI的覆盖面和影响力;并使用学习访问联邦资助的实施研究网站，以帮助研究员将IRI培训与基于团队的现实世界科学联系起来。评估方法将包括文献计量学和社会网络分析，结果包括指导效果，合作和学术产品（出版物和赠款提案）。IRI将为24名新研究人员（四个两年期队列中的六个）提供实施科学前沿的创新培训。新的研究员将与过去的研究员，核心教师和专家教师建立网络，以促进合作和促进学术创新。他们的研究将加速实施科学的创新，并为精神卫生保健的可持续改善提供信息，从而减轻无数个人和家庭的精神疾病负担。IRI研究员将为“三T科学”做好充分准备-团队，翻译，跨学科-投资未来报告（国家咨询心理健康理事会研究培训工作组）要求。研究员将通过他们的奖学金推进该领域，并将领导下一代心理健康实施研究人员。如果没有精神卫生实施科学的进步，NIMH战略计划的目标就不可能实现，因为精神卫生的疾病负担很高，有效治疗方法不断增加，但循证护理的可用性和接受率很低。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In response to PAR-14-304, NIMH Mentoring Networks for Mental Health Research Education, this application seeks five years of support to build, maintain, and sustain an innovative mentoring network for implementation science in mental health. This network will extend in creative new ways the Implementation Research Institute (IRI, NIMH R25 funding 2009-2015), which has successfully trained 43 new mental health implementation researchers. Implementation science is critical for mental health where most Americans with mental disorder receive sub-optimal care due in large part to challenges in the implementation, sustainability, and scale-up of evidence-treatments. Training demand far outweighs supply but only a handful of programs train implementation researchers and only the IRI in mental health. Therefore we seek a one-time, five-year renewal of IRI to pursue three aims: to (1) develop a mentoring network of faculty and Fellows who will advance the science and lead the field of mental health implementation research; (2) evaluate outcomes of the IRI mentoring network, inform continued improvement to training, and derive new knowledge about the role of mentoring networks in accelerating collaboration, scholarly productivity and research training; and (3) extend training benefits to the broader field by disseminating lessons learned, training models, and tools for creating sustainable mentoring networks. To achieve aim 1, we will conduct an innovative, continually renewed annual summer institute; foster networked collaboration and mentoring; prepare IRI Fellows to mentor others in their home institutions, thus extending and sustaining IRI's reach and impact; and use learning visits to federally funded implementation research sites to help Fellows connect IRI training to team based, real-world science. Evaluation methods will include bibliometrics and social network analysis, with outcomes including mentoring effectiveness, collaboration, and scholarly products (publications and grant proposals). IRI will provide innovative training at the forefront of implementation science to 24 new researchers (six in four two-year cohorts). New Fellows will be networked with past Fellows, Core Faculty, and Expert Faculty to spur collaboration and foster scholarly innovation. Their research will accelerate innovation in the implementation science and inform sustainable improvements to mental health care-thereby reducing the burden of mental illness for countless individuals and families. IRI Fellows will be well prepared for "Three T Science"--team, translational, trans-disciplinary-called for by the Investing in the Future report (National Advisory Mental Health Council Workgroup on Research Training). Fellows will advance the field through their scholarship and will lead the next generation of implementation researchers in mental health. Objectives of the NIMH strategic plan cannot be achieved without advances in implementation science for mental health, where disease burden is high, the repertoire of effective treatments is growing, but availability and receipt of evidence- based care is low.
