So you finally got the summary statement back, what do you do after the initial shock?  Let’s talk about how to respond effectively to the “pink sheets” and revise your application. On November 13, Dr. Joseph Gallo discussed steps to take in responding, with examples.

Joseph Gallo, MD, MPH, Bio:
A major focus of my research concerns the form and course of depression among older adults. Using the data from the NIMH Epidemiologic Catchment Area surveys I carried out a series of studies using novel statistical modeling to explore how depression presents differently among older adults than younger persons. The spectrum studies, a series of proposals using mixed methods, built on these findings to carry out a mixed methods study of how older adults experience depression. A second major area has involved mental health treatment in primary care settings including medical comorbidity. I am the PI for a long-term follow-up of PROSPECT (Prevention of Suicide in Primary Care Elderly – Collaborative Trial), a randomized trial of depression management in primary care practices. A third major area involves the use of mixed methods in health services research. I am the Principal Investigator for the Mixed Methods Research Training Program for the Health Sciences, bringing Scholars and mentors in mixed methods together to advance the research employing mixed methods in the health sciences.
