一个芝加哥卓越中心在学习卫生系统研究培训的目标 （ACCELERAT）旨在培养下一代卫生系统转型领导者。的 COVID-19大流行对美国生活的几乎所有方面都产生了破坏性影响， 包括学术研究和培训。伊利诺伊州是受COVID-19影响最严重的州之一， 超过11万例，超过5,000人死亡大多数病例和死亡病例是 集中在芝加哥地区。因此，ACCELERAT的学者和教师都有， 并将继续经历新的COVID-19责任和不可预见的障碍， 完成K12指导研究和嵌入式健康改善活动。的 拟议的K12研究补充资金将使目前的ACCELERAT学者， (a)延长K12研究时间表，以完成因COVID-19中断的拟议研究， （B）加强目前的研究，以解决与其正在进行的研究有关的紧迫的COVID-19主题 research.从长期的研究中得出的初步研究， 这些改进将加强今后独立供资的及时性和相关性 通过包括直接相关的增强和完整的初步数据， 新冠肺炎时代的学习型医疗体系。

The goal of A Chicago Center of Excellence in Learning Health Systems Research Training (ACCELERAT) is to develop the next generation of health system transformation leaders. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a disruptive impact on almost all aspects of life in the US, including academic research and training. Illinois is among the states hit hardest by COVID-19, with over 110,000 cases and more than 5,000 deaths. A majority of these cases and deaths are concentrated in the Chicagoland region. Thus, both ACCELERAT scholars and faculty have, and will continue to experience both new COVID-19 responsibilities and unforeseen barriers to completion of the K12 mentored research and embedded health improvement activities. The proposed K12 research supplemental funds will both enable current ACCELERAT Scholars to (a) extend K12 research timelines to complete proposed research interrupted by COVID-19 and to (b) enhance current research to address urgent COVID-19 topics related to their ongoing research. The preliminary research that emerges from both the extended time and enhancements will strengthen the timeliness and relevance of future independent funding applications by including enhanced and complete preliminary data that are directly relevant to the learning health system in the COVID-19 era.
