Adapting Basic Cognitive Measures for Clinical Assessment of Schizophrenia (R01): -Purpose. Progress in pharmacologic and behavioral treatments for schizophrenia depends in part on developing new and valid approaches for assessing cognitive dysfunction. Specialized behavioral measures are required to characterize the integrity of specific cognitive mechanisms in persons with schizophrenia. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages adaptation of measures developed and tested in cognitive science and cognitive neuroscience laboratories for use in clinical assessment. Candidate measures should be selected on the basis of established construct validity and evidence of impaired task performance in schizophrenia, or theoretical relevance to cognitive domains implicated in schizophrenia symptomatology. Methodological issues to be addressed in translational studies involving schizophrenia subjects may include: (1) standardization of task design and administration, (2) evaluation of measurement properties such as internal consistency, test-retest reliability, short-term stability, practice effects, and ceiling/floor effects, and (3) optimization of measures for use in clinical trials. Research projects responding to this FOA are required to test adapted cognitive measures with schizophrenia subjects. -Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the NIH Research Project Grant (R01) award mechanism.
