I joined the University of Missouri (MU) in May 2020, during the early phases of the COVID-19 pandemic. My leadership administrative roles at MU are in the School of Medicine, MU Health Care, and in the NextGen Precision Health initiative. My role as the Executive Vice Chancellor of Health Affairs at the University of Missouri allows me to develop and implement a comprehensive strategy that affirms MU Health Care as a nationally recognized leader in patient care and to continue the MU School of Medicine’s legacy of education and scholarly excellence.

I have spent my career in higher education, including my student years, time as a faculty member conducting research and teaching in my field of behavioral neuroscience, and 26 years as an administrator. Those 26 years consisted of service as chair of the Department of Psychology at Indiana University (1995-2004), an associate dean at IU (2004-2006), dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at the University of Kansas (2006-2009), executive dean of Arts and Sciences and then executive vice president and provost at Ohio State University (2009-2015), and most recently chancellor of the University of Arkansas (2016-2021). During my time as an administrator, I saw my share of good and bad times in higher education. I think the good times far outweighed the bad times. Indeed, the resilience of our universities through rather significant changes in higher education—such as the development of new technologies, economic recessions, fluctuations in federal support for research, rapidly growing enrollments and several other major influences—has been impressive, especially in light of how slow our institutions can be in adapting to change. Nonetheless, our universities continue to make contributions to society through our missions of research and discovery, teaching and learning, and outreach and engagement. Then came the pandemic that hit the world in February of 2020.

The COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 through the current time has presented broad and new challenges for all of society. Research universities have been faced with many new demands and obstacles across all aspects of their operation. Field research, an activity that must commonly plan for disruptions and unexpected events, has had to be approached with even more creative and responsive efforts. Given that field research comprises a significant portion of the research portfolio at the University of Nebraska – Lincoln (UNL), the pandemic response at UNL and the response for continued field research are highly connected and strongly informed by each other.

Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is the standard treatment for metastatic hormone responsive prostate cancer (CaP), and when surgery or radiation is not an option for localized CaP. ADT is increasingly recommended as an adjuvant treatment with radiation therapy1 because of its survival benefit.2 ADT has also been shown to benefit men with metastatic disease. It can delay the onset of symptoms such as pain and fracture from bone metastasis, urinary obstruction, and bowel obstructions.3 ADT can be effective for two to three years in delaying the progression of CaP and its symptoms. Yet, it has been demonstrated that Black men are less likely to receive ADT compared to their White counterparts (OR=0.64).4-6 In a previous study using SEER-Medicare linked data, among men with locoregional CaP, Black men were significantly less likely (24%) to receive ADT than other White men.6 Furthermore, Cobran and colleagues (2018) found that Black men with metastatic CaP experienced significantly delayed receipt of ADT as compared to White men (172 days vs. 95 days, p<0.05).7 Additionally, others using SEER-Medicare data found that Black men with metastatic CaP were less likely to receive ADT, and when they did receive it, the treatment was delayed compared to other men.3,8 Despite the evidence supporting the benefit of ADT, in combination with radiation therapy, either adjuvantly or neoadjuvantly, to produce better outcomes,9 Black men are less likely to receive ADT with radiation therapy. Findings from a population-based study of men with locally advanced CaP showed that, even though radiation therapy combined with ADT is better than either alone, only 8% of Black men received radiation therapy plus ADT compared to 84% of other men.10 Therefore, the purpose of this convergent, mixed methods study is to explore provider and patient factors related to ADT receipt between Black and White men in a midwestern health system.

This article is written from my perspective as the director of a Phase 1 Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) grant that established the Cognitive and Neurobiological Approaches to Plasticity Center (CNAP; www.k-state.edu/ cnap) in July 2017. CNAP is located within the Department of Psychological Sciences on the central campus of Kansas State University (K-State) in Manhattan, Kansas. CNAP researchers study cognitive and neural plasticity in animal models, as well as conduct basic and clinical research in humans. Phase 1 research has focused on a variety of brain regions and circuits associated with diseases and disorders that impair healthy brain function (Figure 1). Researchers have studied multiple diseases and disorders in humans and in animal models, including alcohol and substance abuse, obesity, autism spectrum disorders, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, hearing disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

We present a "Researcher's Hierarchy of Needs" (loosely based on Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs) in the context of interdisciplinary research in a "big data" era. We discuss multiple tensions and difficulties that researchers face in today's environment, some current efforts and suggested policy changes to address these shortcomings and present our vision of a future interdisciplinary ecosystem.
