We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the NSF Award Database.The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.

Assessing Change in Short-Term Therapy For Depression Using Esm @ University of North Carolina Greensboro DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Outcome studies have shown that several forms of psychotherapy are effective for depression, but questions about how, why, and when these treatments work remain. The proposed study answers the call for innovative research designs that allow for more intensive, individualized data collection that can address complex questions about the dynamic nature of treatment-related change. In this R21 application, we propose a proof-of-concept study using an innovative application of experience sampling methodology (ESM) that combines the idiographic advantages of single-subject research with the statistical advantages associated with larger samples and multilevel analyses. ESM involves sampling aspects of behavior occurring in the participant's everyday environment, thereby enhancing ecological validity and reducing retrospective bias. Thirty-four adults with primary major depressive disorder will be randomly assigned to 16 weeks of either self-system therapy (SST), a new short-term, empirically-supported psychotherapy for depression that targets deficits in incentive motivation and goal pursuit, or treatment-as-usual (TAU). Participants will complete a battery of individual difference and diagnostic measures at pretreatment. One week of intensive ESM will be collected at both pre- and post-treatment, during which participants will be signaled at random times during each day to answer questions about current functioning in several domains (e.g., affect, cognition, and goal pursuit) delivered via a phone-based interactive voice response (IVR) system. Throughout the 16 weeks of treatment, participants will complete similar IVR assessments on two randomly-selected days per week. The proposed study will test three main hypotheses. (1) Patients in SST will show greater increases in engagement with promotion goals and activities as well as greater increases in goal-related daily experiences of positive affect over the course of treatment compared to patients in TAU. (2) Patients in SST will show greater decreases in engagement with prevention goals and activities as well as greater decreases in goal- related daily experiences of negative affect over the course of treatment compared to patients in TAU. (3) Within the SST condition, a history of failure to pursue or achieve promotion goals and individual differences in chronic regulatory orientation (i.e., strength of orientation toward promotion and prevention goals) will moderate the effects of SST on changes in depressive symptoms and on daily experiences of promotion goal engagement. The proposed research will have a significant impact on an important public health problem and will expand our knowledge of how psychotherapy for depression works. The data to be obtained from this study will provide a sound empirical and theoretical framework for larger-scale programmatic research on the nature of treatment-induced change processes in patients with depression. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Depression is a major public health concern and a leading cause of morbidity and disability in industrialized nations. The proposed project will examine how adults with clinical depression change over the course of short-term psychotherapy by assessing how they are functioning in their daily lives. This project will lead to a more comprehensive understanding of how therapy affects patients'everyday functioning, and it has direct relevance for improving treatment outcomes. |

Building Infrastructure For Community Capacity in Accelerating Integrated Care @ University of North Carolina Greensboro PROJECT SUMMARY Although individuals from racial/ethnic and linguistic minority groups make up a considerable?and growing? proportion of the US population, they experience greater unmet need for mental health care than non-Latino Whites. Members of these groups are heavily represented in Medicaid, the largest insurer covering the most vulnerable individuals. And although the Affordable Care Act expanded Medicaid eligibility, research to date has not found that expansions have decreased the gap in mental health treatment between Whites and racial/ethnic minorities. Experts have identified a lack of culturally competent, bilingual/bicultural mental health providers as a factor contributing to the maintenance of these disparities. Similar challenges have been addressed in lower-income countries facing severe workforce constraints through the training of community health workers (CHWs), who originate from the communities they serve and have shown promise internationally as mental health service providers. However, they have not yet typically served in this role in US care delivery systems. State Medicaid-based accountable care organizations (ACOs) are forming in large numbers to provide care coordination via team-based approaches, with accumulating evidence suggesting that this strategy can greatly benefit resource-poor populations. However, many ACOs have not yet incorporated mental health services into their networks, despite the observed link between addressing mental health needs and improving physical health. Building staff capacity to provide these needed services would help ACOs implement evidence-based mental health interventions and improve the overall well-being of their assigned patients. Thus, our proposed collaborative R01 will develop ACO-academic-community partnerships in two demographically different states at different stages of ACO development and test a model that trains CHWs to serve as mental health providers within clinics/physician's organization and community-based organizations linked to ACOs in North Carolina and Massachusetts. This effort should expand ACO infrastructures and increase access to and quality of mental health care for low-income racial/ethnic and linguistic minorities in resource-poor communities. If successful, we will work with our ACO site partners to assess implementation outcomes of adoption, fidelity, maintenance, and explore implementation processes (facilitators and contextual factors) as potential mediators of implementation within diverse clinics, CBOs, and ACO networks. |
