Abstract

Funds for this administrative supplement are requested to support additional effort for investigators (Drs. Belle and Jakicic), data systems and data management, project coordination, sIRB and travel. The RFA called for 2 clinical centers, but one of the clinical centers (CUIMC) also included the New York State Psychiatric Institute where assessments were to be performed and the other site is a combination of 3 sites (Drexel University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Tufts University). Though the New York State Psychiatric Institute may not be involved moving forward, the additional sites resulted in, and will continue to require, the need for more administrative oversight by Dr. Belle, more systems development and maintenance, more coordinator time, and greater than anticipated sIRB costs. Additionally, the MPI from Drexel University has moved to Dartmouth College, also expanding administrative and sIRB costs requiring increased efforts for Dr. Belle and a project coordinator. Dr. Jakicic, a co-Investigator, became the primary developer of the intervention and continues work with the interventionists to monitor intervention delivery so, as a result, he spends greater than anticipated effort preparing documents for, and working with, the interventionists. Dr. Jakicic also leads the weight adjudication subcommittee, which was not envisioned when applying for the project. Finally, the extensive data collection approved by the Steering Committee has resulted in substantially more data systems development/maintenance and data management effort to optimize data completeness and accuracy.
