Vanderbilt Health Services Research Training Grant

描述(由申请人提供)：本建议的目标是在我们的机构职业发展计划--Vanderbilt Health Services Research Training(VHSRT)计划的成功基础上，继续支持四名健康科学博士后、DOS、DDS/DMD或博士，每名博士后1至3年，从事健康服务研究。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，研究时间的保护，临床和基础科学家之间的合作，以及通过开展研究项目补充此类学习的实际应用的结构化教学。今年在我们的培训计划中增加了一项公共卫生实践，这将进一步促进这些学员的经验。 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方案(VHSRT)，该方案 将个性化的指导研究经验与正式的公共卫生硕士课程相结合，为合格的博士后候选人提供支持，以确保卫生服务研究的核心竞争力。 2.要求进行实质性的公共卫生实践，以增强实习生的体验 机构和社区合作伙伴。 3.确保继续招聘研究兴趣在以下范围内的优秀申请者 AHRQ优先领域。 4.为AHRQ学员提供教学培训、研究机会和实践经验 与当地专门知识重叠的优先领域，特别是大规模数据库方法、做法和政策评估；病人安全和护理质量；质量改进；以及保健差距。 5.通过评估和跟踪，确保方案的持续改进。 摘要：我们建议继续培训卫生服务研究方面的博士后学生，以便这些人了解如何进行、实施和解释研究，以提高所有美国人的医疗保健的质量、安全、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.
