Vanderbilt Health Services Research Training Grant

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案的目的是建立在我们的机构职业发展计划，范德比尔特卫生服务研究培训（VHSRT）计划的成功，并继续支持四个博士后MD，DO，DDS/DMD或健康科学博士，每1至3年，追求健康服务研究的职业生涯。该计划的设计反映了范德比尔特临床研究人员培训的四个核心原则：个性化指导培训的重要性，保护研究时间，临床和基础科学家之间的合作，以及通过研究项目的开展补充此类学习的实际应用的结构化教学学习。今年我们的培训计划中增加了一个公共卫生实习，这将进一步提升这些学员的经验。 这项建议的具体目标是： 1.继续成功的范德比尔特卫生服务研究培训计划（VHSRT）， 将个性化的指导研究经验与正式的MPH计划相结合，为合格的博士后候选人，以确保健康服务研究的核心能力。 2.加强实习生的经验，要求进行实质性的公共卫生实习， 机构和社区伙伴。 3.确保继续招募研究兴趣在 AHRQ优先领域。 4.为AHRQ的学员提供教学培训、研究机会和实习经验 与当地专业知识重叠的优先领域，特别是大规模数据库方法、实践和政策评估;病人安全和护理质量;质量改进;以及保健差异。 5.通过评估和跟踪，确保项目的持续改进。 总结：我们建议继续培训卫生服务研究的博士后学生，使这些人了解如何进行，实施和解释研究，提高所有美国人的医疗保健质量，安全性，效率和有效性。

DESCRIPTION (provided by the applicant): The objective of this proposal is to build on the success of our institutional career development program, the Vanderbilt Health Services Research Training (VHSRT) Program, and continue to support four postdoctoral MDs, DOs, DDS/DMDs or PhDs in the health sciences, for 1 to 3 years each, to pursue careers in health services research. The design of the program reflects the four central tenets of the training of clinical investigators at Vanderbilt: the importance of individualized mentored training, protected time for research, collaboration between clinical and basic scientists, and structured didactic learning complementing practical applications of such learning through the conduct of research projects. The addition of a public health practicum to our training program this year will further advance the experience of these trainees. The specific objectives of this proposal are to: 1. Continue the successful Vanderbilt Health Services Research Training Program (VHSRT), which integrates an individualized mentored research experience with a formal MPH program, for qualified postdoctoral candidates, to assure core competencies for health services research. 2. Enhance the trainee experience with the requirement for a substantive public health practicum with institutional and community partners. 3. Assure the continued recruitment of outstanding applicants whose research interests are within AHRQ priority areas. 4. Provide didactic training, research opportunities, and practicum experience for trainees in AHRQ priority areas that overlap with local expertise, in particular, large-scale data base methods, practice and policy evaluation; patient safety and quality of care; quality improvement; and health care disparities. 5. Ensure continuous improvement of the program through evaluation and tracking. Summary: We propose to continue to train post-doctoral students in health services research so that these individuals understand how to conduct, implement, and interpret research that improves the quality, safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of healthcare for all Americans.
