## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT
As a collaboration among UCLA, Kaiser Permanente Southern California, the VA Greater Los Angeles
Healthcare System, and the LA County Department of Health Services, the AHRQ-PCORI K12 program,
Stakeholder-Partnered Implementation Research and Innovation Translation (SPIRIT), is designed to
prepare outstanding postdoctoral scholars for academic research careers focused on rapid and sustainable
uptake of new scientific discoveries and innovations that improve the design, delivery, and outcomes of care
for chronic diseases at the individual, population, and health care system levels. This supplement to the SPIRIT
K12 Program leverages existing K12 Scholar projects and expands the specific aims of their ongoing
research to develop high-impact new knowledge concerning COVID-19 and the ongoing pandemic. Three of
our current K12 scholars are proposing supplemental work that address health issues that have arisen due to
COVID-19. These projects address how different vulnerable populations with health care needs, including
adults with diabetes, children with autism spectrum disorder, and Veterans with severe mental illness, are
managing during the stay-at-home orders during the COVID-19 pandemic and evaluate their experiences with
one solution for health care provision, telehealth, during stay-at-home orders.
