Project Description:
This K01 award application is for Dr. Elizabeth Siantz, a PhD-trained social worker whose overarching career goal is to become an independent clinical investigator who uses implementation science to promote the adoption and integration of evidence-based Chronic Disease Self-Management programs for persons with chronic disease, primarily opioid use disorder (OUD) and serious mental illness (SMI). This K01 will support four key areas of career development: 1) intervention adaptation as it relates to the mental health and primary care needs of persons with OUD; 2) training in clinical trial design and management in real-world settings; 3) advanced skills for qualitatively evaluating intervention implementation; and 4) strengthening research leadership with a focus on gender equity and diversity in science.
