NOTICE. TALK. ACT.? AT SCHOOL - THE NOTICE. TALK. ACT.® AT SCHOOL (NTA) MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM SEEKS TO TRAIN TEACHERS AND OTHER RELEVANT SCHOOL PERSONNEL IN MIDDLE SCHOOLS AND HIGH SCHOOLS: TO RAISE AWARENESS TO HELP TEACHERS AND RELEVANT SCHOOL PERSONNEL NOTICE EMERGING MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS, INCREASE THEIR CAPACITY TO TALK WITH STUDENTS ABOUT EMERGING MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS, AND INCREASE THE KNOWLEDGE OF TEACHERS AND SCHOOL PERSONNEL TO ACT BY CONNECTING STUDENTS WHO MAY NEED MENTAL HEALTH CARE TO RESOURCES AND TREATMENT. THE KEY MESSAGING OF THE PROGRAM IS NOTICE.TALK.ACT®. TEACHERS AND SCHOOL PERSONNEL WORK CLOSELY WITH TEENAGERS AND ARE ONGOING OBSERVERS OF THEIR USUAL BEHAVIORS, SOCIAL INTERACTIONS AND EMOTIONS. THEREFORE, TEACHERS AND SCHOOL PERSONNEL ARE UNIQUELY SITUATED TO PROMOTE POSITIVE MENTAL HEALTH, RESILIENCE AND COPING SKILLS. THE NTA PROGRAM DELIVERS THE CURRICULUM OVER A 2-STEP PROCESS, UNIQUELY DESIGNED TO FIT THE DESIRED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TRAINING TIME FRAME THAT SCHOOLS LOOK FOR, WHICH IS BETWEEN 90-120 MINUTES. STEP 1 BEGINS WITH AN ONLINE E-LEARNING MODULE. THIS MODULE CREATES A BASELINE OF KNOWLEDGE FOR TEACHERS AND RELEVANT SCHOOL PERSONNEL ON THE “NOTICE” PORTION OF THE NTA KEY FRAMEWORK AND ALSO ADDRESSES THE “TALK” AND “ACT” COMPONENTS OF THE TRAINING. IT IS INTERACTIVE WITH VIDEOS, AUDIO PLAY BACKS, AND QUIZZES TO ASSESS KNOWLEDGE AND PROVIDE REAL-TIME FEEDBACK TO USERS. DATA FROM THE FINAL ASSESSMENT CAN HELP ELUCIDATE STAFF CONCERNS OR AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT THAT FACILITATORS OF THE IN-PERSON CLASSROOM MODULE (STEP 2) CAN THEN USE. STEP 2 OF THE NTA CURRICULUM IS A TAILORED CLASSROOM MODULE. THIS MODULE IS DELIVERED BY NTA CERTIFIED TRAINERS, PSYCHIATRISTS WORKING IN COLLABORATION WITH THE SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY-BASED MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS. TO ENSURE THAT EACH SCHOOL’S CLASSROOM TRAINING IS RELEVANT TO ALL STAFF, KEY PIECES ARE TAILORED TO: STUDENT DEMOGRAPHICS, CURRENT CONCERNS OF EDUCATIONAL STAFF, COMMUNITY TRAUMA THAT MAY BE IMPACTING STUDENTS AND STAFF, AND CURRENT AVAILABLE RESOURCES. THIS PORTION OF THE CURRICULUM FOCUSES ON THE “TALK” AND “ACT” PORTIONS OF THE PROGRAM. THE CERTIFIED TRAINERS AND SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS WORK TOGETHER TO ADDRESS THE AVAILABILITY OF BOTH SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES, INCLUDING SERVICES AND SUPPORTS FOR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES. THERE ARE FIVE KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS THAT WE WILL TRACK TO MEASURE THE EFFICACY OF THE NOTICE. TALK. ACT.® AT SCHOOL: STUDENT TRUANCY, DISCIPLINE REFERRALS, SUPPORT SERVICES REFERRALS, MAJOR MENTAL HEALTH EVENTS, AND FRAMEWORK IMPLEMENTATION. OUR GOALS, OVER EACH TWO-YEAR EVALUATION PERIOD, ARE TO: DECREASE THE STUDENT TRUANCY RATE IN EACH ENROLLED SCHOOL BY 33% BY IMPLEMENTING NOTICE. TALK. ACT.® FRAMEWORK TO ADDRESS TRUANCY RELATED BEHAVIORS; INCREASE SUPPORT SERVICES REFERRALS SEEN BY EACH SCHOOL SUPPORT TEAM BY 33% BY EFFECTIVELY EDUCATING SCHOOL PERSONNEL ABOUT THE AVAILABLE SERVICES AND SUPPORTS IN THEIR COMMUNITY; DECREASE DISCIPLINE REFERRALS BY 50% BY IDENTIFYING AND ADDRESSING BEHAVIOR ISSUES BEFORE ESCALATION; DECREASE MAJOR MENTAL HEALTH EVENTS 50% BY PROACTIVELY CONNECTING STUDENTS TO APPROPRIATE CARE; FACILITATE TRAININGS SUCH THAT 90% OF TRAINED INDIVIDUALS USE THE NOTICE. TALK. ACT.® FRAMEWORK. WITH MHAT GRANT FUNDING EXPECTED NUMBER OF TEACHERS AND SCHOOL PERSONNEL TRAINED IS: YEAR 1: 4,800 YEAR 2: 5,200, AND YEAR 3: 5,700, YEAR 4: 6,400, YEAR 5: 6,900. THE TOTAL NUMBER OF TEACHERS AND SCHOOL PERSONNEL THAT WILL BE TRAINED IS 28,900.

RESEARCH COLLOQUIUM FOR JUNIOR INVESTIGATORS

RESEARCH COLLOQUIUM FOR JUNIOR PSYCHIATRIST INVESTIGATORS - ABSTRACT THE OVERARCHING GOAL OF THIS PROPOSAL IS TO HELP EARLY CAREER PSYCHIATRIST INVESTIGATORS (I.E., MENTEES) DEVELOP AND MAINTAIN A RESEARCH CAREER PATH VIA OUR MULTI-COMPONENT RESEARCH COLLOQUIUM FOR JUNIOR PSYCHIATRIST INVESTIGATORS PROGRAM (THE RESEARCH COLLOQUIUM). THE RESEARCH COLLOQUIUM AIMS TO STRENGTHEN AND DIVERSIFY THE PSYCHIATRIST-SCIENTIST WORKFORCE. IT OFFERS TEAM-BASED AND ONE-ON-ONE MENTORSHIP AND RESEARCH CAREER DEVELOPMENT TO MENTEES IN TWO TRACKS THAT DIFFERENTIATE PARTICIPANTS’ CURRENT RESEARCH EXPERIENCE (I.E., BEGINNER AND INTERMEDIATE) ACROSS SIX CORE RESEARCH AREAS INCLUDING BASIC NEUROSCIENCE AND TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH, CLINICAL PSYCHOBIOLOGY, HEALTH SERVICES/HEALTH DISPARITIES RESEARCH, TREATMENT AND INTERVENTION RESEARCH, ALCOHOL, PAIN AND OTHER SUBSTANCE USE RESEARCH, AND MILITARY AND VETERAN MENTAL HEALTH RESEARCH. EACH YEAR, THE RESEARCH COLLOQUIUM GIVES 40-50 EARLY CAREER PSYCHIATRIST INVESTIGATORS, A YEAR-ROUND, IMMERSIVE RESEARCH EXPERIENCE. THIS APPLICATION SEEKS 5 YEARS OF SUPPORT TO FACILITATE THE IN-PERSON COMPONENTS OF THE RESEARCH COLLOQUIUM SPECIFICALLY FOR THE ALCOHOL, PAIN, AND OTHER SUBSTANCE USE RESEARCH AREA FOR THE 2023 – 2028 COHORTS. EACH YEAR, THE FUNDS FROM THIS AWARD WILL PARTIALLY SUPPORT A COHORT OF 15 EARLY RESEARCH CAREER PSYCHIATRISTS WITH INTEREST IN ALCOHOL, PAIN, AND OTHER SUBSTANCE USE RESEARCH TO ATTEND THE IN-PERSON COMPONENTS OF THE RESEARCH COLLOQUIUM, WHICH INCLUDE: 1) THE INITIAL 2-DAY RESEARCH COLLOQUIUM HELD CONTIGUOUS TO THE APA ANNUAL MEETING; 2) THE 6-MONTH FOLLOW-UP BOOSTER SESSION HELD CONTIGUOUS TO THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF NEUROPSYCHOPHARMACOLOGY (ACNP) ANNUAL MEETING; AND 3) THE 12-MONTH FOLLOW-UP BOOSTER SESSION HELD CONTIGUOUS TO THE SOCIETY OF BIOLOGICAL PSYCHIATRY (SOBP) ANNUAL MEETING. THE SPECIFIC AIMS ARE TO: 1) IDENTIFY CURRENT AND FUTURE SENIOR PSYCHIATRY RESIDENTS, RESEARCH FELLOWS, AND JUNIOR PSYCHIATRISTS WHO ARE PROMISING CANDIDATES FOR SUCCESSFUL RESEARCH CAREERS IN THE MENTAL HEALTH SPACE; 2) ASSESS THE STRENGTHS, WEAKNESS, AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT, AND SPECIFIC GOALS TO BE ACCOMPLISHED BY MENTEES DURING THEIR PARTICIPATION IN THE RESEARCH COLLOQUIUM; 3) PROVIDE A 2-DAY, INTENSIVE MENTORED TRAINING SESSION THAT WILL ALLOW MENTEES TO PRESENT THEIR CURRENT OR PROPOSED RESEARCH PROTOCOLS IN SMALL GROUP AND POSTER SESSIONS AND RECEIVE FEEDBACK FOR ENHANCEMENTS AND GUIDANCE FOR FUTURE CAREER PROGRESSION; 4) PROVIDE A 1-DAY, INTENSIVE MENTORED 6-MONTH FOLLOW-UP BOOSTER SESSION WHERE MENTEES WILL PRESENT UPDATES ON THEIR RESEARCH AND PROGRESS TOWARDS THEIR GOALS FOR THE PROGRAM IN SMALL GROUP SESSIONS, DISCUSS ANY BARRIERS TO THEIR SUCCESS, AND RECEIVE GUIDANCE TO FACILITATE PROGRESS; 5) PROVIDE A 1-DAY, INTENSIVE MENTORED 12-MONTH FOLLOW- UP BOOSTER SESSION WHERE MENTEES WILL PRESENT THEIR FINAL RESEARCH PROJECTS IN SMALL GROUP SESSIONS AND RECEIVE GUIDANCE ON TRANSITION TO THE NEXT STEP IN THEIR CAREER DEVELOPMENT; 6) PROVIDE MENTEES WITH MENTORING (I.E., FROM SENIOR RESEARCHERS AND STATISTICAL MENTORS) AND PEER FEEDBACK; 7) PROVIDE INFORMATION AND RESOURCES THAT WILL ENABLE MENTEES TO FIND AND OBTAIN FUNDING AND LAUNCH SUCCESSFUL RESEARCH CAREERS, AS MEASURED BY THE RECEIPT OF GRANT SUPPORT OR RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS, PUBLICATION IN PEER-REVIEWED JOURNALS, OR ACADEMIC APPOINTMENTS AT RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS (I.E., PRIVATE OR PUBLIC ACADEMIA OR INDUSTRY SETTINGS); AND 8) PROVIDE INNOVATIVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR ONGOING POST-COLLOQUIUM MENTORING AND CAREER GUIDANCE THROUGH AD HOC WEBINARS, BLOG POSTS, AND DISCUSSION BOARDS HOUSED ON THE RESEARCH COLLOQUIUM ONLINE COMMUNITY.
