PAVIR WORKS WITH MORE THAN 100 RESEARCHERS AND 215 STAFF TO SUPPORT BASIC SCIENCE AND CLINICAL RESEARCH TO REALIZE ITS MISSION. PAVIR'S RESEARCH SPANS THE INVESTIGATION OF DISEASES IN THE LABORATORY TO TESTING NEW DRUG TREATMENTS AND DEVELOPING IMPROVED MODELS OF HEALTH CARE DELIVERY. IN ADDITION TO A FOCUS ON BASIC SCIENCE AND CLINICAL RESEARCH, PAVIR'S RESEARCH ADDRESSES HEALTH CHALLENGES THAT HAVE BEEN FACED ESPECIALLY BY VETERANS, INCLUDING POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER AND TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY, GERIATRIC MEDICINE, REHABILITATION, SLEEP AND OTHER VETERANS AND PUBLIC HEALTH DISEASES. PAVIR'S RESEARCHERS HAVE APPOINTMENTS AT THE VA PALO ALTO HEALTH CARE SYSTEM, AND MOST HOLD DUAL APPOINTMENTS AT THE STANFORD UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE. 0 0 1460991 1460991 TARGETED STRATEGIES TO ACCELERATE EVIDENCE-BASED PSYCHOTHERAPY (EBP) IMPLEMENTATION IN MILITARY. PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATORS: CRAIG S. ROSEN, PH.D. AND CARMEN P. MCLEAN, PH.D. THIS FOUR-YEAR STUDY, FUNDED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE, IS AIMED AT INCREASING USE OF EVIDENCE-BASED PSYCHOTHERAPIES (THERAPIES PROVEN EFFECTIVE IN RESEARCH) IN CLINICS ON MILITARY BASES. DESPITE EFFORTS TO TRAIN MILITARY PROVIDERS IN EFFECTIVE PSYCHOTHERAPIES FOR POSTTRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER (PTSD), ONLY A MINORITY OF SERVICE MEMBERS RECEIVE THESE TREATMENTS. THIS TRIAL TESTS WHETHER A TAILORED PROCESS IMPROVEMENT APPROACH (USING A TOOLKIT FOR MATCHING SPECIFIC CHANGE STRATEGIES TO LOCAL BARRIERS) IS MORE EFFECTIVE THAN PROVIDER TRAINING ALONE IN EXPANDING THE PROPORTION OF PATIENTS WHO RECEIVE AN EBP. THE PROJECT, LED BY INVESTIGATORS AT THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR PTSD AND PALO ALTO VETERANS INSTITUTE FOR RESEARCH (PAVIR), INCLUDES COLLABORATORS FROM FIVE UNIVERSITIES AND EIGHT MILITARY TREATMENT FACILITIES. OBJECTIVES: TO TEST IN A STEPPED-WEDGE RANDOMIZED TRIAL WHETHER THE TARGETED ASSESSMENT AND CONTEXT-TAILORED IMPLEMENTATION OF CHANGE STRATEGIES (TACTICS) INCREASES USE OF EVIDENCE-BASED PSYCHOTHERAPY MORE THAN DOES PROVIDER TRAINING ALONE. SECONDARY OUTCOMES INCLUDE EFFECTS OF TACTICS ON AVERAGE IMPROVEMENT IN PTSD SYMPTOMS, AND SATISFACTION WITH THE TACTICS PROCESS. ACCOMPLISHMENTS: ALL STAFF HAVE BEEN HIRED, EIGHT MILITARY CLINICS REPRESENTING ALL SERVICE BRANCHES HAVE BEEN RECRUITED, MILITARY IRB APPROVAL HAS BEEN OBTAINED FROM OUR FIRST SITE (OTHERS ARE IN PROCESS), AND TRAINING PROVIDERS IN EVIDENCE-BASED TREATMENT HAS BEGUN. IMPLEMENTATION OF TACTICS WILL BEGIN WITHIN THE NEXT SIX MONTHS.POTENTIAL IMPACT: IF EFFECTIVE, TACTICS MAY REPRESENT A SCALABLE APPROACH TO ACCELERATING THE USE OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH BEST PRACTICES IN MILITARY SETTINGS. 833661 A NEW FRAMEWORK FOR UNDERSTANDING THE MECHANISMS OF DIASTOLIC DYSFUNCTION. PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: DANIEL ENNIS, PH.D.DR. ENNIS DIRECTS THE RADIOLOGICAL SCIENCES LAB AT VAPAHCS, WHICH AIMS TO DEVELOP THE NEXT GENERATION OF RADIOLOGIC IMAGING EXAMS AND EVALUATION FOR A WIDE RANGE OF CLINICAL INDICATIONS. OUR PRIMARY FOCUS IS ON IMPROVING THE DIAGNOSIS OF HEART AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE. WE EMPHASIZE TECHNICAL IMPROVEMENTS TO MRI EXAMS THAT ENABLE THE RESULTS TO BE QUANTITATIVE. CURRENTLY, ONE PROJECT FOCUSES ON DEVELOPING TECHNOLOGIES THAT WILL ENABLE MEASURING CHANGES IN THE STIFFNESS OF THE HEART. THE HEART MAY BECOME STIFFER BECAUSE OF SEVERAL DISEASES, BUT CURRENTLY THERE ARE LIMITED WAY TO MEASURE HEART STIFFNESS. WE AIM TO DEVELOP BOTH THE MRI METHODS THAT ENABLE ACCURATE ESTIMATES OF HEART MOTION AND PATIENT-SPECIFIC COMPUTATIONAL MODELS THAT ENABLE THE ESTIMATION OF THE UNDERLYING HEART STIFFNESS. WE EXPECT THAT THESE TECHNOLOGIES WILL AID IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF PATIENTS WITH A SPECIFIC FORM OF HEART FAILURE FOR WHICH THE HEART CONTRACTS ADEQUATELY BUT DOES NOT FILL ADEQUATELY. TO DATE WE HAVE INVENTED NEW METHODS TO MEASURE HEART MOTION WITH MRI, DEVELOPED A VALIDATION PLATFORM TO CONFIRM OUR ABILITY TO MEASURE HEART STIFFNESS, AND WE HAVE AN ON-GOING STUDY TO EVALUATE OUR NEW APPROACH IN PATIENTS WITH HEART FAILURE. 770973 PARTICIPATORY SYSTEM DYNAMICS VS AUDIT AND FEEDBACK: A CLUSTER RANDOMIZED TRIAL OF MECHANISMS OF IMPLEMENTATION CHANGE TO EXPAND REACH OF EVIDENCE-BASED ADDICTION AND MENTAL HEALTH CARE: PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR. LINDSEY ZIMMERMAN, PH.D.OUR BROAD AIM IS TO EMPOWER ALL HEALTHCARE STAKEHOLDERS TO PROVIDE THE HIGHEST QUALITY CARE TO ALL PATIENTS. OUR SPECIFIC AIMS ADDRESS THE COMPLEXITIES AND TRADEOFFS ASSOCIATED WITH IMPLEMENTING EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICES (EBPS) IN OUTPATIENT ADDICTION AND MENTAL HEALTH SYSTEMS. THERE IS SCIENTIFIC CONSENSUS ABOUT THE BEST EVIDENCE-BASED PSYCHOTHERAPIES AND PHARMACOTHERAPIES (EBPS) TO MEET THE NEEDS OF PATIENTS WITH OPIOID AND ALCOHOL USE DISORDER, PTSD, AND DEPRESSION. HOWEVER, EBP COORDINATION OVER TIME, WITHIN AND ACROSS MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAMS OF PROVIDERS, IS COMPLEX AND CONSTANTLY CHANGING. VETERANS HEALTH ADMINISTRATION (VA) POLICY MANDATES, NATIONAL TRAINING PROGRAMS, AND INCENTIVIZED QUALITY MEASURES, HAVE BEEN INSUFFICIENT FOR REACHING MORE THAN 3 TO 28% OF PATIENTS WITH THE HIGHEST QUALITY TREATMENTS. AS AN ALTERNATIVE, PARTICIPATORY SYSTEM DYNAMICS (PSD) HAS BEEN USED TO EXPLAIN CAUSES OF COMPLEX PROBLEMS IN BUSINESS MANAGEMENT FOR 60 YEARS. WE USE EXISTING ENTERPRISE DATA TO TAILOR MODEL PARAMETERS TO EACH CARE TEAM. PSD MODELS WERE MADE ACCESSIBLE VIA A `MODELING TO LEARN' INTERFACE AND TRAINING, DURING WHICH TEAMS SAFELY EVALUATED LOCAL CHANGE SCENARIOS VIA SIMULATION TO FIND THE HIGHEST YIELD OPTIONS FOR MEETING VETERANS' NEEDS. DURING THE SECOND YEAR OF OUR PROJECT, CONCURRENT WITH THE ONSET OF THE COVID19 PANDEMIC, WE BEGAN OUR TWO-ARM, 24-SITE (12 SITES/ARM) CLUSTER RANDOMIZED TRIAL TO TEST THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PSD SIMULATION AS COMPARED TO MORE STANDARD TEAM AUDIT AND FEEDBACK DATA REVIEW. WE ALSO MADE AVAILABLE NEW FREE ONLINE RESOURCES FOR OTHER RESEARCH TEAMS AND HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS TO USE (SEE HTTPS://MTL.HOW/DEMO). OUR STUDY HAS THE POTENTIAL TO INFORM A NEW PARADIGM, BY DETERMINING WHAT WORKS TO IMPROVE HEALTH SYSTEM QUALITY DEFINED AS EBP REACH, WHY IT WORKS, AND UNDER WHAT CONDITIONS. IF PSD IS EFFECTIVE, STUDY ACTIVITIES WILL ADDRESS A NATIONAL PRIORITY TO IMPROVE VETERANS' ADDICTION AND MENTAL HEALTH CARE TO PREVENT CHRONIC SYMPTOMS, RELAPSE, SUICIDE, AND OVERDOSE. 23640126 4172117 PAVIR IS PRIVILEGED TO WORK WITH A LARGE COMMUNITY OF UNIQUELY TALENTED MEDICAL RESEARCHERS ACROSS A BROAD SPECTRUM OF RESEARCH AREAS AS WE FULFILL OUR MISSION OF ADVANCING VETERANS AND PUBLIC HEALTH THROUGH INNOVATIVE RESEARCH. THE RANGE OF RESEARCH ACTIVITIES IS BROAD AND INCLUDES SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON MAJOR DISEASE CATEGORIES, ALL OF WHICH ARE PREVALENT IN THE VA'S PATIENT POPULATION. THESE INCLUDE CARDIOVASCULAR MEDICINE, MENTAL HEALTH, CHRONIC INFLAMMATORY DISEASE, STEM CELL/REGENERATIVE MEDICINE, PAIN, SLEEP DISORDERS, AND MANY OTHERS. IN ADDITION TO DISEASE SPECIFIC RESEARCH, PAVIR IS ENGAGED IN SUPPORTING RESEARCH AIMED AT ENHANCING HEALTH CARE. PAVIR'S RESEARCH PORTFOLIO INCLUDES COMPARATIVE STUDIES IN WHICH RESEARCH TEAMS ARE LEARNING WHICH TREATMENTS ARE SUPERIOR TO OTHERS, HOW TO AUGMENT OR IMPROVE STANDARD OF CARE, AS WELL AS HOW TO ENHANCE THE OPERATION OF HEALTH CARE. FURTHERMORE, PAVIR IS SUPPORTING EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES, ESPECIALLY IN AREAS OF ADVANCING CLINICAL CARE FOR VETERANS AND FOSTERING THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF OUR EXPERT STAFF. 23640126 4172117 26705751 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 115 0 1 280 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 14 2 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA X LILY IBRAGIMOV 6502392805 3801 MIRANDA AVENUE PALO ALTO CA 94304 X MARK NICOLLS DIRECTOR, BOARD CHAIR 1.00 40.00 X X 0 0 0 LAWRENCE LEUNG DIRECTOR 1.00 40.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID J CLARK DIRECTOR, SECRETARY/TREASURER 1.00 40.00 X X 0 0 0 CHARLIE CONZ STATUTORY NON-VA DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 THOMAS J FITZGERALD III STATUTORY VA DIRECTOR 0.50 40.00 X 0 0 0 MARY K GOLDSTEIN DIRECTOR UNTIL 05/22/20 0.50 40.00 X 0 0 0 ODETTE HARRIS DIRECTOR 0.50 40.00 X 0 0 0 FERID MURAD DIRECTOR 0.50 X 46432 0 4165 JOHN POLLARD DIRECTOR/AUDIT COMMITTEE MEMBER 0.50 40.00 X 0 0 0 ROBERT SLOSS DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 PHILIP TSAO DIRECTOR/AUDIT COMMITTEE MEMBER 1.00 40.00 X 0 0 0 JENNIFER LEE STATUTORY VA DIRECTOR 0.50 40.00 X 0 0 0 RINA N SHAH STATUTORY VA DIRECTOR 0.50 40.00 X 0 0 0 PAUL HEIDENREICH DIRECTOR 0.50 40.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL ANTHONY HINDERY CEO 40.00 X 272355 0 35858 LISA CLARK HR DIRECTOR 40.00 X 166697 0 4832 MARY L THORNTON DIRECTOR OF DATA INTEGRITY 40.00 X 140330 0 23779 ELAINE STAATS DIRECTOR OF SPONSORED RESEARCH 40.00 X 142041 0 36321 LILY IBRAGIMOV DIRECTOR OF FINANCE & ACCOUNTING 40.00 X 146280 0 24012 WEN AMY TIAN RESEARCH SCIENTIST II 40.00 X 140624 0 13162 BONNIE OIKING LIANG CFO/COO UNTIL 06/30/19 40.00 X 137572 0 22531 1192331 0 164660 27 0 1 0 0 23198211 653457 21674 23851668 GOVERNMENT FEES & CONTRACTS 541700 3151173 3151173 MEDICAL RESEARCH 541700 2481935 2481935 5633108 47815 47815 MISCELLANEOUS INCOME 900099 40051 40051 40051 29572642 5633108 0 87866 574094 51766 522328 12675404 10103792 2571612 819445 609740 209705 1595142 1285264 309878 1046461 801503 244958 39978 2378 37600 87783 87783 1554731 1428379 126352 20563 15148 5415 629650 381410 248240 59592 51714 7878 71256 71256 202985 134797 68188 296054 268394 27660 55582 55582 SUBRECIPIENTS 4498639 4498639 OTHER PERSONNEL COST 3368925 3440393 -71468 RESEARCH MATERIAL COST 2971718 2971657 61 EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE 499232 495565 3667 121684 93956 27728 31188918 26705751 4483167 0 206711 1823799 5790934 5999388 5112136 4029336 378361 214129 3869056 2953302 1037799 915754 12525941 12982406 2844485 4155963 1347858 1409314 0 700000 4192343 6265277 X 6271716 5271449 2061882 1445680 8333598 6717129 12525941 12982406 -1616276 -193 0 X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X VA PALO ALTO HEALTH CARE SYSTEM PALO ALTO CA RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 1 240 0 0 0 240 0 PART II-B, LINE 1, LOBBYING ACTIVITIES: OUR ORGANIZATION PAID MEMBERSHIP DUES TO THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF VETERANS' RESEARCH AND EDUCATION FOUNDATIONS (NAVREF).
