Keith N. Humphreys, associate professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences and a CHP/PCOR associate, has been awarded the status of "research career scientist" by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs' Health Services Research and Development Service. This renewable award, which initially is for five years, supports the careers of investigators who have distinguished themselves through scientific achievement and contribute to the VA research program. Humphreys directs the Program Evaluation and Resource Center at the VA Palo Alto Health Care System. Notably, of the 11 people in the national VA system who have received "research career scientist" status, two -- Humphreys and Rudolf Moos -- are CHP/PCOR affiliates.
