DESCRIPTION (PROVIDED BY APPLICANT): The objective of the proposed investigation is to expand and strengthen health services research (HSR) capacity within the state of Arkansas through creation of the Arkansas Consortium for Health Services Research. The Consortium will bring together multiple research groups and health organizations within the state to facilitate the conduct of applied research that elucidates pathways for improving the quality, efficiency, accessibility, and equity of health care in Arkansas and, by extension, in many other rural and underserved areas of the country. Partners in the Consortium will include researchers from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) Colleges of Public Health, Medicine, and Pharmacy along with the Arkansas Department of Health, Arkansas BlueCross BlueShield, and the Arkansas Foundation for Medical Care. Through these partnerships, the Consortium will (1) develop and maintain research-quality databases from several under-utilized state data sources including Arkansas BlueCross BlueShield's enrollment and claims files, Arkansas Medicaid enrollment and claims files, and the Arkansas Hospital Discharge Data System; (2) develop multidisciplinary research mentorship, communication and skill-building opportunities for health services researchers across the state; (3) develop and administer an intramural HSR "seed grant" program that provides dedicated programming time and a limited amount of funding to allow health services researchers to conduct pilot studies using Consortium data resources; and (4) develop a multi-institutional, multi-disciplinary HSR advisory board to guide the research activities of the Consortium, facilitate research translation and dissemination, and ensure effective coordination among all university and external partners. Through these partnerships, the Consortium will serve as a catalyst for increasing the volume and quality of externally-funded HSR studies conducted in Arkansas and for translating and applying the evidence from these studies to improve the delivery and financing of health care.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议调查的目的是通过创建阿肯色州卫生服务研究联盟，扩大和加强阿肯色州内的卫生服务研究（HSR）能力。该联盟将汇集多个研究小组和卫生组织在国家内，以促进应用研究，阐明提高质量，效率，可及性和公平的卫生保健在阿肯色州，并通过扩展，在许多其他农村和服务不足的地区的国家进行。该联盟的合作伙伴将包括来自阿肯色州大学医学科学（UAMS）公共卫生、医学和药学学院的研究人员，沿着阿肯色州卫生部、阿肯色州蓝十字蓝盾和阿肯色州医学基金会的研究人员。 在乎通过这些合作伙伴关系，该联盟将（1）开发和维护研究质量数据库从几个未充分利用的国家数据源，包括阿肯色州蓝十字蓝盾的登记和索赔文件，阿肯色州医疗补助登记和索赔文件，以及阿肯色州医院出院数据系统;（2）开发跨学科的研究指导，沟通和技能建设的机会，为整个国家的卫生服务研究人员;（3）制定和管理一个校内HSR“种子基金”计划，该计划提供专门的编程时间和有限的资金，以允许卫生服务研究人员使用联盟数据资源进行试点研究;以及（4）建立一个多机构、多学科的高铁咨询委员会，以指导联合体的研究活动，促进研究成果的翻译和传播，并确保所有大学和外部合作伙伴之间的有效协调。通过这些合作伙伴关系，该联盟将作为一种催化剂，增加在阿肯色州进行的外部资助的高铁研究的数量和质量，并翻译和应用这些研究的证据，以改善医疗保健的提供和融资。
