UAB Health Services & Outcomes Research Training Program

描述（由申请人提供）：我们正在寻求继续和扩大亚拉巴马大学伯明翰分校（UAB）卫生服务与成果研究培训计划（T32），一个跨学科的前和博士后计划，重点是AHRQ优先领域。这是UAB结果和有效性研究与教育中心（COERE）和Lister Hill卫生政策中心（LHC）的联合计划。虽然最初在2003年资助只有2个博士后职位，我们获得了额外的职位，多年来，目前有2个前和3个博士后学员。我们已经毕业6 T32学员，所有医生，谁，他们之间，发表了19同行评审的手稿，并在全国会议上提出了33摘要;所有人都在追求学术生涯;我们的学员中有27%是少数民族。目前由卡塔里纳基夫执导，与诺曼韦斯曼和迈克尔莫里西作为共同申请人，我们的教师是国家和国际领导人，在实施研究特别实力。我们的领导人来自UAB的三所学校（分别是医学，健康教育和公共卫生），我们的深度指导池来自校园内200多名教师，他们是COERE和LHC的成员。我们也有一个非常强大的基础设施卫生服务研究（HSR）在多个单位支持我们的计划，访问广泛的研究数据库（公开和不），基于实践的研究网络，一个强大的少数民族健康和研究中心和AHRQ CERT与COERE密切合作，以及广泛的分析和统计计算能力。 我们的计划在很大程度上依赖于指导的研究经验与一个非常成功的导师在培训组件。博士前学员获得卫生服务管理-卫生服务研究博士学位，博士后学员（具有博士学位的临床医生）获得成果研究MSPH。我们建议在第一至第二年保持5个名额（2个前博士和3个后博士），并在第三年增加2个名额，以便在2010年前达到3个前博士和4个后博士的稳定状态，为期5年。博士后和博士前职位分别为2年和3年。这一周期的增强还包括增加领导（埃塔伯纳，卡罗尔阿什顿，内尔达雷），更加重视健康信息学，一个新的组织结构，和一个更结构化的计划评估。

DESCRIPTION (provided by the applicant): We are seeking continuation and expansion for the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Health Services & Outcomes Research Training Program (T32), a combined interdisciplinary pre- and postdoctoral program focused on AHRQ priority areas. This is a joint program of the UAB Center for Outcomes and Effectiveness Research and Education (COERE) and the Lister Hill Center for Health Policy (LHC). Though initially funded in 2003 with only 2 postdoctoral positions, we obtained additional positions over the years, and currently have 2 pre- and 3 postdoctoral trainees. We have graduated 6 T32 trainees, all physicians, who, between them, have published 19 peer-reviewed manuscripts and presented 33 Abstracts at national meetings; all are pursuing academic careers; 27 % of our trainees have been minorities. Currently directed by Catarina Kiefe, with Norman Weissman and Michael Morrisey as co-applicants, our faculty are national and international leaders with particular strength in implementation research. Our leaders are from three Schools at UAB (Medicine, Health Professions, and Public Health, respectively) and our deep mentoring pool draws from over 200 Faculty members across campus who are members of COERE and LHC. We also have a very strong infrastructure for health services research (HSR) in the multiple units supporting our program, with access to extensive research databases (both publicly available and not), practice-based research networks, a strong Minority Health and Research Center and AHRQ CERTs that collaborate closely with COERE, and extensive analytic and statistical computing capacity. Our program relies heavily on mentored research experiences with a highly successful mentor-in-training component. Predoctoral trainees obtain a PhD in Health Services Administration-Health Services Research, postdoctoral trainees (clinicians with a doctoral degree) a MSPH in Outcomes Research. We propose to maintain 5 slots (2 pre and 3 post) in Years 1-2, and add 2 slots in Year 3 to achieve a steady state of 3 predocs and 4 postdocs by 2010 for the 5-Year renewal period. Postdoctoral and predoctoral positions are for 2 and 3 years, respectively. Enhancements for this cycle also include added leadership (Eta Berner, Carol Ashton, Nelda Wray), more emphasis on health informatics, a new organizational structure, and a more structured program evaluation.
