Training in Implementation Science Research and Methods

摘要 实施科学是研究促进传播和采用的方法的学术领域 将基于证据的实践应用到现实世界中。该领域在过去十年中取得了巨大的增长。 然而，阻碍进一步增长的一个关键差距是年轻调查人员缺乏严格的培训机会。 因此，该拟议计划的目标是启动第一个T32计划，专门用于实施 科学培训，以改善心脏，肺，血液和睡眠（HLBS）的健康促进和临床实践。我们 寻求从医学博士，博士，和博士前候选人的申请，从广泛的临床和科学 学科，和不同的个人背景。拟议的计划将充分利用恒星 耶鲁大学两个新中心的资源：位于学校的耶鲁实施科学中心（YCIS） 医学，以及实施和预防科学方法中心（CMIPS），总部设在 公共卫生学院。该计划的目标是：[1]培养科学家的知识，技能， 有能力成为独立调查员，继续扩大调查领域; [2]建立一支 与利益相关者（包括患者、护理人员和公共卫生）合作的研究者/领导者 专业人员，从一开始就通过传播研究成果，以促进吸收的目标 实践和政策中的发现。[3]加强实施科学工作队伍的多样性。这 建议有4个显着的特点：（1）与NHLBI支持的K12计划， 作为耀中的培训核心;（2）导师和资源代表了学科的非凡广度 来自耶鲁大学的各种学校，包括医学，公共卫生，护理和管理， 实施科学，组织行为学，研究设计和（HLBS）健康促进方面的专业知识， 医疗保健;（3）与更广泛的纽黑文社区，包括卫生部的密切接触 健康，联邦合格的健康中心，和当地的非营利组织，以及（4）社交网络的新用途 模拟评估T32学员的专业发展和进步。我们最初的K12队列 学者们获得了NIH，基金会和行业赠款，平均每年4篇论文，证明了 严格的训练教学部分利用耀中和CMIPS开发的课程，以及其他 耶鲁大学的项目培养了几代临床调查和公共卫生研究的科学家 方法.一个研究实习将提供来自国家和国际专家在HLBS密切指导 药符合条件的学员将获得健康科学博士或硕士学位，具体取决于专业 需求培训时间为2-3年，根据需要。我们每年将有3-7个插槽。成功 候选人必须表现出对实施科学的坚定承诺， 以前的学术培训领域，并致力于与利益相关者作为合作伙伴。见习 进度将由项目主任、导师和咨询委员会进行监督和评估。

Abstract Implementation science is the domain of scholarship that studies methods to facilitate the spread and adoption of evidence-based practices into real-world settings. The field has seen tremendous growth in the last decade. Yet, a critical gap impeding further growth is the lack of rigorous training opportunities for young investigators. Hence the objective of this proposed program is to launch the first T32 program dedicated to implementation science training to improve heart, lung, blood, and sleep (HLBS) health promotion and clinical practice. We seek applications from MDs, PhDs, and predoctoral candidates, from a wide range of clinical and scientific disciplines, and diverse personal backgrounds. The proposed program will take full advantage of the stellar resources of two new centers at Yale: the Yale Center for Implementation Science (YCIS), based at the School of Medicine, and the Center for Methods in Implementation and Prevention Science (CMIPS), based at the School of Public Health. The program’s aims are to: [1] Develop scientists with the knowledge, skills, and ability to become independent investigators who will continue to expand the field; [2] build a cadre of investigators/leaders who collaborate with stakeholders, including patients, caregivers, and public health professionals, from inception through dissemination of research results, with the goal of promoting the uptake of findings in practice and policy. [3] Enhance the diversity of the implementation science workforce. This proposal has 4 distinguishing characteristics: (1) Integration with an NHLBI-supported K12 program that serves as the training core of YCIS; (2) Mentors and resources representing an extraordinary breadth of disciplines from a wide array of schools at Yale, including Medicine, Public Health, Nursing, and Management, with expertise in implementation science, organizational behavior, study design, and (HLBS) health promotion and medical care; (3) Intense engagement with the broader New Haven community, including the Department of Health, federally qualified health centers, and local nonprofit groups, and (4) A novel use of social network modeling to assess the professional development and progress of T32 trainees. Our initial cohort of K12 scholars have secured NIH, foundation, and industry grants, and averaged 4 papers/year each, attesting to the rigor of our training. Didactic components leverage coursework developed by YCIS and CMIPS, and additional Yale programs that have trained generations of scientists in clinical investigation and public health research methods. A research practicum will offer close mentorship from national and international experts in HLBS medicine. Eligible trainees will receive a PhD or Masters in Health Science degree, depending on professional needs. Training duration will be 2-3 years, based on needs. We will have 3-7 slots per year. Successful candidates must show evidence of a strong commitment to implementation science, academic excellence in fields of previous academic training, and a commitment to work with stakeholders as partners. Trainee progress will be monitored and evaluated by the Program Directors, mentors, and an Advisory Committee.
