New Investigator Workshop

Meenaxi Hiremath, Dionne Jones, Redonna Chandler – National Institute on Drug Abuse
Bob Huebner – National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism
James Sorensen – University of California, San Francisco

Staff from NIDA’s Services Research Branch and NIAAA’s Division of Treatment and Recovery Research will conduct a grantsmanship workshop for new investigators. This workshop is intended to provide an overview of strategies for developing a successful research grant application for submission to NIDA and NIAAA. Topics to be covered include: Career Development, Grant Mechanisms, Essential Elements of the Grant Application, Grant Writing Tips, Common Pitfalls to Avoid, Human Subjects, IRBs, and Data Safety Monitoring Issues, The Review Process, and The Grant Decision-Making Process. The workshop is appropriate for junior investigators interested in pursuing a career in drug and alcohol abuse research. In addition, participants will have the opportunity to receive feedback from NIDA and NIAAA staff on concept papers.

Grantsmanship for Established PIs: Everything you ever wanted to know about NIH, but never asked

Thomas F. Hilton – National Institute on Drug Abuse

This workshop is limited to researchers who have served in the role of PI of an R01 grant for at least two years. It is intended to refine PIs’ knowledge about NIH business practices to enable more thoughtful strategic planning for new project initiatives that will sustain a long-range program of research and leadership of the field. Attendees may ahead of time submit anonymously all the questions they have been saving up over the years, which will be answered in the didactic portion of the program. Topics that will be addressed include: demystifying multiple-PI applications, cooperatives, centers, STTR/SBIR, and international projects. Emerging pending changes in NIH review procedures and project support levels will be discussed. There will also be a lively philosophical group discussion regarding what it takes to become and remain competitive

Methods Workshop
Accounting for Pre-Treatment Differences: Techniques of Casemix Adjustment

Daniel McCaffery, Beth Ann Griffin – RAND

3:00 – 4:00 pm (Part 1)   •   4:00 – 5:00 pm (Part 2)

Part 1: This workshop will introduce the need to more validly account for uncontrollable pre-treatment differences when patients or patient groups are to be compared. After a review of problems in the published literature, Dr. McCaffery will introduce attendees to methods for accounting for pre-treatment differences in risk and protective factors and adjusting for moderators due to intermittent institutionalization or imprisonment. Included will be a discussion of balancing adjustment approaches with power. The workshop will focus on propensity score approaches to estimating causal effects with observational data (what to do when everything but the kitchen sink may affect outcomes). Dr. McCaffery will show how to weight propensity scores to estimate average treatment effects on the treated population (estimating effectiveness for the target treatment population vs. all patients).

Part 2: This presentation will be followed by approximately 60 minutes hands-on familiarization with “twang,” a program for making casemix adjustments to research data. Freeware and dummy data will be provided. Part 2 attendees must bring a Windows-based laptop and power cord.

Understanding, Accessing and Using SAMHSA Data Sets: Opportunities for Research

Peter J. Delany – Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration

This special workshop will orient participants to the numerous data sets available from the Substance Abuse and Mental Services Administration (http://www.oas.samhsa.gov). Attendees will learn about on-line analytic services and reports as well as how to access data and utilize for research.
