Patricia L. Mabry, Ph.D.
Senior Advisor
Dr. Mabry is a Senior Advisor in the Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR) at NIH. She is committed to developing resources and creating opportunities for the NIH investigator community (and beyond) in order to encourage and support the development of behavioral and social science research projects featuring interdisciplinary and Systems Science approaches http://obssr.od.nih.gov/scientific_areas/methodology/systems_science/index.aspx. Since joining OBSSR in November 2005, Dr. Mabry has been instrumental in catalyzing interest in and support for systems science across the 27 institutes and centers that comprise NIH. Dr. Mabry leads the systems science programmatic activities for OBSSR, including PAR-08-224, Using Systems Science to Protect and Improve Population Health (R21) http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-08-224.html and the annual Institute on Systems Science and Health, and is the project officer for a contract to support the Collaborative Obesity Modeling Network (COMNet). In 2006 Dr. Mabry led the production of the Interdisciplinary Methodology and Technology Summit, an NIH Roadmap for Medical Research activity http://nihroadmap.nih.gov/interdisciplinary/summit0806/agenda.asp, and in 2007 she co-led the development of a funding opportunity announcement under the NIH Roadmap entitled, Facilitating Interdisciplinary Research via Methodological and Technological Innovation in the Behavioral and Social Sciences (R21). In 2007, in collaboration with CDC, Dr. Mabry initiated and guided the production of the 2007 Systems Science Symposia Series and led OBSSR's sponsorship of the conference, Complex Systems Approaches to Population Health (videocasts/podcasts of these and other events are available at http://obssr.od.nih.gov/training_and_education/videocast/videocast.aspx#ssh). Dr. Mabry has been recognized for her efforts; she was a member of the team that received the inaugural Applied Systems Thinking Prize from the Applied Systems Thinking Institute in 2008 http://www.asysti.org/Prize/2008asystprizewinner.aspx, and received an individual Merit Award from NIH in 2008 in recognition for her leadership and contributions in systems science.
Dr. Mabry is currently focusing much of her work on fostering opportunities for behavioral, social and population scientists to learn from and team up with people in other disciplines, especially those in disciplines grounded in mathematical and computational sciences (e.g., computer science, engineering, mathematics, operations research). To this end, she is one of three Conference Organizing Chairs for the 2010 International Conference on Social Computing, Behavioral Modeling, and Prediction (SBP10) at which she is creating opportunities for such cross-fertilization. Dr. Mabry also spends some time writing and publishing in scientific journals primarily on the topics of tobacco control and systems science.
Dr. Mabry earned her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Virginia (1996). She has worked in small business, academia, and government, and her professional experience falls into several broad categories: conducting original intervention research for tobacco cessation, providing counseling and psychological services to individuals and couples, teaching behavioral aspects of medicine to medical students, writing NIH Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant applications, and programmatic development at NIH.
