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 899863 903380 DEFENSE AND VETERANS BRAIN INJURY CENTER (DVBIC). PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: ODETTE HARRIS, M.D., M.P.H. THE DEFENSE AND VETERANS BRAIN INJURY CENTER (DVBIC) OPERATES IN AN ENVIRONMENT THAT WORKS IN COLLABORATION WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF REHABILITATION AT THE VA PALO ALTO HEALTH CARE SYSTEM (VAPAHCS) WHICH IS AN INTEGRATED SERVICE DELIVERY SYSTEM DEVELOPED BY THE VA TO ADEQUATELY PROVIDE FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE MEDICAL, SURGICAL, AND REHABILITATION CARE FOR RETURNING SERVICE MEMBERS AND VETERANS. WE PROVIDE STATE-OF-THE-ART CARE FOR OUR VETERAN AND ACTIVE DUTY PERSONNEL THROUGH THIS INTEGRATION AND OFFER EDUCATION AND ASSISTANCE FOR THEM TO REINTEGRATE INTO SOCIETY. WE ACCESS LONGITUDINAL AND CONTINUOUS EPIDEMIOLOGIC DATA AS PRIMARY TOOLS TO FOCUS ON RELEVANT FUNCTIONAL OUTCOMES THAT HELP VETERANS, MILITARY PERSONNEL AND CIVILIANS REINTEGRATE INTO SOCIETY AFTER ACUTE INJURY. OUR CURRENT PROJECTS INCLUDE BEING A SITE FOR NATIONAL VA AND DOD LONGITUDINAL STUDIES SUCH AS TBI MODEL SYSTEMS AND CLINICAL TRACKING FORM STUDY. USING VARIOUS INNOVATIVE INTERVENTIONS SUCH AS NEUROMODULATION, COMPLIMENTARY ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE AND COGNITIVE REHABILITATION, DVBIC DEVELOPS TREATMENT STRATEGIES FOR HEALTH PROBLEMS FREQUENTLY REPORTED IN THE BRAIN INJURED POPULATIONS. THROUGH OUR LOCAL AND NATIONAL COLLABORATIONS WITHIN THE DVBIC NETWORK AS WELL AS WITH UNIVERSITIES AND HOSPITALS ACROSS THE NATION, WE ARE AMONG THE LEADERS IN ADVANCED NEUROIMAGING, BIOMARKER AND COMPUTERIZED COGNITIVE ASSESSMENTS FOR DIAGNOSIS AND MANAGEMENT OF BRAIN INJURIES AND THEIR RELATED SYMPTOMS. CURRENT PROJECTS IN SUCH POPULATIONS INCLUDE LARGE MULTI-SITE LONGITUDINAL ASSESSMENT AND NEUROIMAGING AND NEUROMODULATION STUDIES FUNDED BY DOD, VA AND NIH. OUR LEADERSHIP PROVIDES MENTORSHIP TO POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWS FROM THE VA OFFICE OF ACADEMIC AFFAIRS AND RESIDENTS IN PSYCHIATRY, NEUROLOGY AND PHYSICAL MEDICINE AND REHABILITATION DEPARTMENTS AT STANFORD. OUR REGIONAL EDUCATION COORDINATOR ALONG WITH OUR NATIONAL DVBIC EDUCATION DEPARTMENT PROVIDES LOCAL AND REGIONAL TBI AWARENESS AND WE HOST AN ANNUAL TBI FORUM TO PROVIDE UPDATED CLINICAL AND RESEARCH INFORMATION TO PROVIDERS, RESEARCHERS, PATIENTS AND CAREGIVERS. WE UTILIZE OUR ACTIVE CLINICAL PRACTICE AT THE VA PALO ALTO AND STANFORD NEUROSURGERY DEPARTMENT AND OUR DVBIC EDUCATION NETWORK TO TRANSLATE OUR NEUROSCIENCE-DRIVEN RESEARCH METHODOLOGIES INTO THESE CLINICAL SETTINGS FOR TARGETED AND ACCURATE MEDICAL CARE. 830163 830163 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 POST-TRAUMATIC 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. 785337 PREDICTING RESILIENCE IN THE HUMAN MICROBIOME. PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: DAVID RELMAN, M.D.THE HUMAN MICROBIOME, OR THE COMMUNITIES OF MICROBES THAT ARE COMMONLY FOUND IN AND ON THE HUMAN BODY, PROVIDE A WIDE VARIETY OF BENEFITS TO THEIR HUMAN HOST, INCLUDING FOOD DIGESTION, PROVISION OF NUTRIENTS AND VITAMINS, PROTECTION AGAINST DISEASE-CAUSING MICROBES AND AGAINST ENVIRONMENTAL CHEMICALS, AND PROPER REGULATION OF HUMAN IMMUNITY AND METABOLISM. AT THE SAME TIME, THESE COMMUNITIES ARE ALSO CAPABLE OF CONTRIBUTING TO DISEASE IF THEY BECOME ALTERED. WE ARE INTERESTED IN HOW THESE COMMUNITIES CAN MAINTAIN THEIR BENEFICIAL PROPERTIES (STABILITY), ESPECIALLY WHEN CONFRONTED WITH FACTORS CAPABLE OF COMMUNITY DISTURBANCE, LIKE ANTIBIOTICS OR SHIFTS IN DIET, AS WELL AS HOW COMMUNITIES ARE ABLE TO RECOVER FROM THESE DISTURBANCE FACTORS (RESILIENCE). OUR APPROACH IS TO RECRUIT HEALTHY ADULTS, EXPOSE THEM TO SHORT COURSES OF ANTIBIOTICS, INTESTINAL CLEAN-OUT PROCEDURES (AS UNDERTAKEN BEFORE COLONOSCOPY), AND/OR TEMPORARY CHANGES IN DIET, AND ANALYZE FEATURES OF THE MICROBIOME, WITH THE SHORT-TERM GOAL OF IDENTIFYING FEATURES THAT MIGHT EXPLAIN STABILITY AND RESILIENCE. THE LONG-TERM GOALS ARE TO UNDERSTAND THE BASIS FOR MICROBIAL COMMUNITY STABILITY, MAINTENANCE OF BENEFICIAL FUNCTIONS OF THE MICROBIOME, AND RECOVERY, SO THAT PRECISE INTERVENTIONS CAN BE DESIGNED THAT WILL PROMOTE AND RESTORE THE BENEFICIAL PROPERTIES OF THE HUMAN MICROBIOME. 21738568 2856323 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 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. 21738568 2856323 24253931 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 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 48 0 1 309 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 11 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 6508583970 3801 MIRANDA AVENUE PALO ALTO CA 94304 MARK NICOLLS DIRECTOR, BOARD CHAIR 1.00 40.00 X X 0 0 0 LAWRENCE LEUNG STATUTORY VA DIRECTOR, SECR/TREAS 1.00 40.00 X X 0 0 0 DAVID J CLARK DIRECTOR 0.50 40.00 X 0 0 0 CHARLIE CONZ DIRECTOR 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 THOMAS J FITZGERALD III STATUTORY VA DIRECTOR 0.50 40.00 X 0 0 0 MARY K GOLDSTEIN DIRECTOR 0.50 40.00 X 0 0 0 ODETTE HARRIS DIRECTOR 0.50 40.00 X 0 0 0 FERID MURAD DIRECTOR 10.00 0.00 X 37865 0 0 JOHN POLLARD STATUTORY VA DIR/AUD COMM.
