Web-based provider training for cognitive behavioral therapy of insomnia (CBTi) www.CBTIweb.org
The overarching goal of this study is to develop a sophisticated, user-friendly Web-based provider training course for CBTi (CBTiWeb) which is fully sustainable and accessible with minimal cost (financial and time) to the clinician and results in knowledge gains similar to those of an in-person training.

NIH/NIAAA
A Controlled Test of Interpersonal Rejection, Social Anxiety, and Alcohol Use among Female Adolescents
The primary research goal is to test whether acute social stress (i.e. rejection), as compared to non-social stress, elicits greater alcohol-relevant cognitions among socially anxious girls. A secondary goal is to evaluate the indirect effects of key cognitive (i.e. disengagement coping) and psychobiological (i.e. salivary alpha amylase/cortisol ratio) variables in this relationship.

American Sleep Medicine Foundation
Non-inferiority study of telemedicine versus conventional CBTi in recently Hospitalized Patients with Insomnia
To perform comparative effectiveness research of CBTi administered by telemedicine versus conventional office-based CBTi on insomnia severity in recently hospitalized patients.
Role: Co-I

Univ of Pennsylvania (Sub-Military Suicide Research Consortium)
Suicide Risk and Sleep in Treatment: An Intensive Daily Sampling Study
The primary research goal of this study is to examine whether key sleep variables are significant near-term predictors of increased suicidal ideation and the critical periods of heightened suicidal ideation. The secondary aim is to examine mediators and moderators of the associations among sleep disturbances and suicidal ideation. A final aim is to determine optimal strategies for assessing sleep and suicide risk in military personnel in treatment.
Role: Co-Investigator (Co-I)

Web-Based Provider Training for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Nightmares (CBT-N)
The primary aim of the proposed project is to develop a sophisticated, user friendly, web-based provider training for the evidence-based, non-pharmacological treatment, cognitive behavioral therapy for trauma-related nightmares (CBT-N), which is fully sustainable and is accessible with minimal cost (financial and time) to the clinician.

Sleep and Vaccine Response in Nurses (SAV-RN)
The overarching goal of the current study is to develop a comprehensive model detailing the effects of sleep and its specific facets, as well as other risk factors, on the short-term (1-month) influenza antibody response, as well as its long-term (12-month) degradation.

Treatment of Comorbid Sleep Disorders and PTSD
The primary aim of the study was to determine if providing cognitive-behavioral therapy of insomnia and nightmares (CBTi+n) and Cognitive Processing Therapy of PTSD-Cognitive only version (CPT) results in greater PTSD and sleep symptom reduction than CPT only. The secondary aim was to determine if sequencing CBTi+n before or after CPT results in differential effects on PTSD and sleep symptom reduction.
