UW Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Career Development Program (K12)

描述（由申请人提供）：医疗知识和技术的爆炸与效率低下，有时无效的医疗保健服务形成鲜明对比。将科学进步转化为更好的健康需要更多更好的研究，从实验室到医生办公室，再到卫生系统和社区。因此，我们建议在华盛顿大学为博士后和入门级教师学者提供多学科K12以患者为中心的成果研究（PCOR）培训计划。我们的目标是培训研究人员，他们将在PCOR的特定领域发展深度，但也对以患者为中心的成果研究的全方位知识的广度;为他们提供进行高质量综合研究的方法论知识和实践技能;并创造一个环境，为他们注入兴奋，并培养他们的早期职业发展。该计划将涉及来自华盛顿大学医学院，公共卫生学院，药学院和护理学院的教师，以及着名的附属计划，如Fred哈钦森癌症研究中心，团体健康研究所和普吉特海湾退伍军人管理局健康服务研究和开发单位。博士后研究员和入门级教师学者将从所有卫生和相关专业以及其他学科中招募。多学科核心课程将使所有学者了解变革和组织振兴方案相关学科的理论和方法，选修课程将使人们能够深入研究某一重点领域。强化指导的研究经验将是该计划的核心，华盛顿大学及其转化健康科学研究所提供了一系列非凡的研究核心，中心和导师来支持这项工作。我们将不断评估计划的结果，如果我们是成功的，我们的毕业生将成为研究领导者准备进行多学科的比较有效性研究使用最高的道德标准和利用新的技术和信息学工具。 公共卫生相关性：今天美国医疗保健系统面临的问题是复杂的，并提出了我们是否正在明智地生成和使用医疗干预的好处和危害的证据来改善整个人口的健康的问题。这些问题的答案需要快速，高质量的研究，重点是患者的需求和结果。我们提出的计划将培养下一代以患者为中心的成果研究人员，他们可以有效地回答这些问题。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The explosion of medical knowledge and technology contrasts with inefficient and sometimes ineffective health care delivery. Translating scientific advances into better health requires more and better research at several steps leading from bench to practitioner's office and to health systems and communities. We therefore propose a Multidisciplinary K12 Patient- Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR) Training Program at the University of Washington for post-doctoral and entry-level faculty Scholars. Our aims are to train investigators who will develop depth in a specific area of PCOR, but also breadth of knowledge about the full spectrum of patient-centered outcomes research; provide them with methodological knowledge and practical skills for conducting high quality integrative research; and create an environment that infuses them with excitement, and nurtures their early career development. The program will involve faculty from the UW Schools of Medicine, Public Health, Pharmacy, and Nursing, as well as prominent affiliated programs such as the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Group Health Research Institute and the Puget Sound Veterans Administration Health Services Research and Development unit. Post-doctoral fellows and entry-level faculty Scholars will be recruited from all health and related professions and other disciplines. A multidisciplinary core curriculum will expose all Scholars to the theories and methods of disciplines relevant to PCOR, and elective courses will allow depth of study in a focused area. Intensively mentored research experience will be the centerpiece of the program, and the UW and its Institute for Translational Health Sciences offers an extraordinary range of research cores, centers, and mentors to support this work. We will continuously evaluate program results, and if we are successful, our graduates will become research leaders prepared to conduct multidisciplinary comparative effectiveness research using the highest ethical standards and capitalizing on new technologic and informatics tools. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The issues facing healthcare systems in the United States today are complex and raise questions as to whether we are generating and using evidence of the benefits and harms of medical interventions wisely to improve health across the population. The answers to these questions require rapid, high-quality research that focuses on the needs and outcomes of patients. Our proposed program will train the next generation of Patient-Centered Outcomes Researchers who can efficiently and effectively answer these questions.
