UTMB Health Services Research Training Program

项目摘要/总结 德克萨斯大学医学分支（UTMB）的这项新的T32健康服务研究计划旨在 基金为期5年，每年资助3名博士前培训生。该计划旨在提高和改善 具有临床背景的卫生服务研究人员库，以帮助解决卫生保健中的复杂问题 在美国交货。鉴于我们在卫生服务研究领域的优势，我们专注于使用尖端技术， 研究卫生保健提供模式和趋势的方法，评估卫生政策的影响， 以检验各种护理模式的有效性。受训人员是博士或博士-博士生， 人口健康科学计划，临床科学计划，或康复科学计划的 预防医学和社区卫生部。 UTMB在开展卫生服务研究方面有着出色的记录。我们得到了R24的资助， 2001年至2006年医疗保健机构对服务不足人口的服务研究 研究和质量（AHRQ）。从那时起，我们不断发展健康服务研究， R 01和R24关于老年人以患者为中心的结局研究，目前由AHRQ资助。除了 从AHRQ和NIH的几个额外的卫生服务研究R 01的资金，我们也有一个P2C 由国家资助的康复大数据研究和数据共享中心 儿童健康与人类发展研究所和另一个多研究者研究奖， 德克萨斯州癌症预防与研究资助的癌症比较有效性研究 德克萨斯州研究所目前附属部门的教师在生物统计学，流行病学， 经济学、计算机科学、社会学、医学、卫生政策和康复。我们计划在我们的基础上再接再厉 在不同人群的卫生服务研究中，加强和培训卫生保健专业人员。就是这种情况 在我们的其他项目中，将特别努力招收来自不同临床背景的学生， 我们的学员将专注于其临床领域的健康服务研究。生物医学研究生院 科学和教务长办公室在过去5年中作出了重大承诺，以加强 在UTMB卓越的研究生教育。这些承诺包括总统学者计划， 招收优秀研究生，设立博士后工作办公室， 在职业发展和辅导方面有组织的培训和机会。我们制定了一个正式的 结构和相关活动，以加强招聘和促进我们的学员在区域内的安置 和全国性的。我们相信，我们的医疗保健专业的学员将有竞争力的领导职位 在他们的临床领域的下一代健康服务研究人员中。

PROJECT ABSTRACT/SUMMARY This new T32 program for Heath Service Research at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) seeks funds for 5 years to support 3 predoctoral trainees per year. The program aims to increase and improve the pool of health service researchers with clinical background to help address complex issues in health care delivery in the US. Given our strengths in the areas of health service research, we focus on using cutting edge methodology to study the patterns and trends of health care delivery, to assess the impact of health policy, and to examine the effectiveness of various care models. The trainees are PhD or MD-PhD students in the Population Health Science program, Clinical Science program, or Rehabilitation Science program of the Department of Preventive Medicine and Community Health. UTMB has an excellent record in conducting health service research. We were funded by an R24 on Health Service Research in Underserved Population between 2001 and 2006 from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). Since then, we have continuously developed health service research with two R01s and an R24 on Patient Centered Outcomes Research in the Elderly, currently funded by AHRQ. Besides funding from AHRQ and several additional health service research R01s from the NIH, we also have a P2C grant for the Center for Large Data Research and Data Sharing in Rehabilitation funded by the National Institute of Child Health & Human Development and another Multi-Investigator Research Award on Comparative Effectiveness Research on Cancer in Texas funded by the Cancer Prevention & Research Institute of Texas. The current faculty in the affiliated departments have strengths in biostatistics, epidemiology, economics, computer science, sociology, medicine, health policy, and rehabilitation. We plan to build on our strengths and train health care professionals in health service research in different populations. As is the case in our other programs, special efforts will be made to recruit students from diverse clinical backgrounds, and all our trainees will focus their health service research in their clinical field. The Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences and Provost's Office have made significant commitments in the past 5 years to enhance the excellence of graduate education at UTMB. These commitments include the President's Scholars Program to recruit outstanding graduate students and the establishment of an Office of Postdoctoral Affairs that includes organized training and opportunities in career development and mentoring. We have developed a formal structure and related activities to enhance recruitment and facilitate the placement of our trainees regionally and nationally. We believe that our health care profession trainees will be competitive for leadership positions among the next generation of health service researchers in their clinical area.
