背景成果研究培训计划应准备学员成功地竞争研究资金。我们研究了早期职业调查人员的先前和期望的培训如何与最近资助的心血管（CV）outcomes research.Methods相一致，我们（1）回顾文献，以确定CV结局研究中的13个核心能力领域;（2）调查早期职业调查人员，以了解他们在每个能力领域的先前和期望的培训;（3）检查最近资助的赠款通常追求的早期职业成果的研究人员，以确定可用的资金在能力领域;（4）分析研究人员培训和资助的研究之间的对齐在每个能力领域。我们评估了2010年至2014年来自早期职业研究者的185份调查回复（回复率为28%）和521份基金赠款。结果受访者之前的培训与临床流行病学、观察性研究、随机对照试验和实施/传播研究领域的基金赠款一致。对社区参与的研究和卫生信息学的资助比以前在这些领域的培训更为普遍。受访者以前接受过生物统计和系统审查方面的培训，这比侧重于这些具体领域的资助赠款更为常见。受访者期望的培训与资助赠款类似，但也有一些例外;例如，在卫生经济学/成本效益研究方面，期望的培训比这些领域的资助赠款更常见。限制CV赠款（n = 132）和国家心脏，肺，血液研究所资助的赠款（n = 170）产生了类似的result.Conclusions识别资助的赠款之间的不匹配的结果研究和早期职业生涯的调查员的事先/所需的培训可能有助于努力协调调查员的利益，培训和资金。我们的研究结果表明，有必要进一步考虑如何最好地准备早期职业生涯的调查资金的成功。
Background Outcomes research training programs should prepare trainees to successfully compete for research funding. We examined how early-career investigators' prior and desired training aligns with recently funded cardiovascular (CV) outcomes research.Methods We (1) reviewed literature to identify 13 core competency areas in CV outcomes research; (2) surveyed early-career investigators to understand their prior and desired training in each competency area; (3) examined recently funded grants commonly pursued by early-career outcomes researchers to ascertain available funding in competency areas; and (4) analyzed alignment between investigator training and funded research in each competency area. We evaluated 185 survey responses from early-career investigators (response rate 28%) and 521 funded grants from 2010 to 2014.Results Respondents' prior training aligned with funded grants in the areas of clinical epidemiology, observational research, randomized controlled trials, and implementation/dissemination research. Funding in community-engaged research and health informatics was more common than prior training in these areas. Respondents' prior training in biostatistics and systematic review was more common than funded grants focusing on these specific areas. Respondents' desired training aligned similarly with funded grants, with some exceptions; for example, desired training in health economics/costeffectiveness research was more common than funded grants in these areas. Restricting to CV grants (n = 132) and National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute-funded grants (n = 170) produced similar results.Conclusions Identifying mismatch between funded grants in outcomes research and early-career investigators' prior/ desired training may help efforts to harmonize investigator interests, training, and funding. Our findings suggest a need for further consideration of how to best prepare early-career investigators for funding success.
