Portfolio Analysis Team Lead The results of the first comprehensive epilepsy research portfolio analysis were presented at the recent ICARE meeting on April 13th, 2015. The Interagency Collaborative to Advance Research in Epilepsy ( ICARE ) is a voluntary working group of public and non-profit organizations in the United States that provide sustained funding for epilepsy research and training. ICARE was established and meets annually to better coordinate research-related activities among these groups, and to encourage collaborations where compelling opportunities exist. At the meeting on March 24, 2014 the group discussed and agreed upon the potential benefits of a community-wide portfolio analysis of funded epilepsy research. It would provide a means to better inform the group about the landscape of funded epilepsy research and coordinate strategies, leverage resources, avoid duplication of effort and assess progress being made against the epilepsy research priorities as defined by the 2014 NINDS Benchmarks and the recommendations from the 2012 IOM report “Epilepsy across the Spectrum.”
The RAND Corporation and American Medical Association are conducting research to better understand and describe how physician practices in a variety of specialties and practice arrangements (independent, IPA, health system, etc) that have integrated behavioral health care into the range of services they offer. If you’ve integrated behavioral health care in your practice, whether you’re in the early stages or have a well-established program, the AMA is asking for participation in this research project. This phone interview-based research will enable the AMA to provide physicians with training and resources needed to effectively implement and manage behavioral health care in their practices. If you’re interested and available to participate, please contact Mark Friedberg, MD, MPP, RAND Senior Physician Policy Researcher, at mfriedbe@rand.org
Sometimes it really is all in the family! AES research funds benefited from AES President Amy Brooks-Kayal’s talented son Zach and the generosity of her husband, SPI Pharma CEO, Rana Kayal who teamed to organize and sponsor a concert to benefit AES. Zach is a member of Yale’s Premier A Cappella group, Mixed Company, who performed a concert to benefit AES research funds on Thursday, March 19 in Wallingford, PA
