UAB K12 in Patient Centered Outcomes Research

描述（由申请人提供）：我们提出了一个以患者为中心的结局研究UAB K12计划，以支持4名PCOR学者。它将建立在我们当前的卫生服务/比较有效性研究培训计划和少数族裔健康与差异研究培训计划的成功和经验的基础上。初级教师在PCOR的加强培训将得到我们广泛的研究基础的支持，在我们的主要重点领域的医疗差距和卫生系统干预措施的次要重点领域。培训将得到变革和组织振兴方案其他广泛领域的进一步专门知识的支持：1）预防、诊断和治疗方案的比较，2）交流和传播，以及3）加速以患者为中心的方法研究。我们的研究和培训基地来自5所UAB学校（医学，公共卫生，卫生保健，护理，艺术和科学），包括30名主要PCOR导师和20名副导师。我们已经确定了17名潜在的变革和组织振兴方案学者（5名少数民族）候选人。培训能力得到了我们最近重新资助的AHRQ治疗学教育和研究中心（CERT）和独特的大学跨学科研究中心计划的支持，包括成果和有效性研究和教育中心以及少数民族健康和健康差异研究中心。我们这个为期两年的职业发展计划的总体目标是扩大我们目前在UAB建立的培训能力。一个PCOR K12将使我们能够联合收割机结合我们的优势，在成果和差距的研究到一个创新的PCOR职业发展计划与健康差距的重点。我们的具体目标是：（1）确定和征聘最有前途和多样化的初级调查员参加变革和组织振兴方案培训;（2）通过个人和团队辅导、赠款开发和赠款提交支助，提供职业发展支助。3)提供集中的现场和非现场教学课程和多学科培训，重点是变革和组织振兴方案，重点是健康差距和卫生系统4）通过加强跨学科合作，促进团队科学方法，扩大变革和组织振兴方案的经验，以培训对变革和组织振兴方案感兴趣的学者和其他初级教师5）扩大我们非常成功的导师培训和导师审查方案，这是我们卫生服务部门开创的概念，CER和健康差异培训计划。6)建立一个由患者倡导者和患者组织代表、医疗保健支付者和学术专家组成的小组，为我们的培训计划提供建议，并协助传播。UAB K12将使我们能够建立新的和扩大现有的创新和可持续的基础设施，以促进职业发展，招募和培训具有巨大潜力的个人成为非常成功的PCOR研究人员，并指导他们成为UAB和全国的学术领袖。 公共卫生相关性：创造下一代训练有素的以患者为中心的成果研究人员是至关重要的国家重要性，因为我们寻求改善以患者为中心的医疗保健服务，减少医疗保健的差距。UAB变革和组织振兴方案K12职业发展方案侧重于差距和卫生系统干预措施，将用于培训和指导下一代变革和组织振兴方案研究人员。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose a UAB K12 program in Patient Centered Outcomes Research to support 4 PCOR Scholars. It will build on the successes and experience of our current Health Services/ Comparative Effectiveness Research Training Program and Minority Health and Disparities Research Training Program. Enhanced training of junior faculty in PCOR will be supported by our extensive research base in our primary emphasis area of healthcare disparities and secondary emphasis area of health system interventions. Training will be supported by further expertise in additional PCOR broad domains of: 1) Comparison of prevention, diagnosis and treatment options, 2) Communication and dissemination, and 3) Accelerating patient-centered and methodological research. Our research and training base is drawn from across 5 UAB Schools (Medicine, Public Health, Health Professions, Nursing, and Arts and Sciences) including 30 Primary PCOR Mentors and 20 Associate Mentors. We have identified 17 prospective PCOR Scholar (5 minority) candidates. Training capacity is supported by our recently re-funded AHRQ Center for Education and Research on Therapeutics (CERTs) and unique University-wide Interdisciplinary Research Centers Program, including the Center for Outcomes and Effectiveness Research and Education and the Minority Health and Health Disparities Research Center. Our overall goal for this 2- year career development program is to expand the training capacity we currently have built at UAB. A PCOR K12 will allow us to combine our strength in outcomes and disparities research into an innovative PCOR career development program with a health disparities focus. Our specific aims are to: 1) Identify and recruit the most promising and diverse junior investigators for training in PCOR 2) Provide career development support through individual and team mentoring, grant-development and grant submission support. 3) Provide intensive on-site and off-site didactic curriculum and multi-disciplinary training focused on PCOR with emphasis on health disparities and health systems 4) Foster a team-science approach and expand PCOR experience for training Scholars and other junior faculty with interest in PCOR by strengthening interdisciplinary collaborations 5) Expand our highly successful mentor training and mentorship review programs, concepts pioneered by our Health Services, CER, and Health Disparities training programs. 6) Develop a panel of patient advocates and representatives of patient organizations, healthcare payers, and academic experts to advise our program on the training experience and assist with dissemination. A UAB K12 will allow us to build new and expand existing innovative and sustainable infrastructure for career development, to recruit and train individuals with significan potential to be highly successful PCOR researchers, and to mentor them toward becoming academic leaders at UAB and nationally. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Creating the next generation of well-trained patient centered outcomes researchers is of critical national importance as we seek to improve patient centered health care delivery and reduce health care disparities. The UAB PCOR K12 career development program with a focus on disparities and health system interventions will be used to train and mentor the next generation of PCOR researchers.
