UAB Health Services & Outcomes Research Training Program

描述(由申请人提供)：我们正在寻求延续和扩大阿拉巴马大学伯明翰分校(UAB)健康服务和成果研究培训计划(T32)，这是一个专注于AHRQ优先领域的跨学科博士后前和博士后计划。这是UAB成果和有效性研究与教育中心(COERE)和利斯特希尔卫生政策中心(LHC)的联合项目。虽然我们最初在2003年只有2个博士后职位，但随着时间的推移，我们获得了更多的职位，目前有2名博士后和3名博士后实习生。我们已经毕业了6名T32实习生，他们都是医生，他们总共发表了19篇同行评议的手稿，并在全国会议上提交了33篇摘要；所有人都在追求学术生涯；我们的实习生中有27%是少数族裔。目前由Catarina Kiefe指导，Norman Weissman和Michael Morrisey共同申请，我们的教员是国内和国际领先的，在实施研究方面特别有实力。我们的领导分别来自UAB的三个学院(医学、健康专业和公共卫生)，我们的深度导师池从来自Coere和LHC的200多名校园教职员工中挑选出来。我们还在支持我们计划的多个单位中拥有非常强大的医疗服务研究(HSR)基础设施，可以访问广泛的研究数据库(公开和不可用)、基于实践的研究网络、强大的少数群体健康和研究中心以及与Coere密切合作的AHRQ CERT，以及广泛的分析和统计计算能力。 我们的项目在很大程度上依赖于导师的研究经验，以及非常成功的导师培训部分。博士后实习生获得卫生服务管理-卫生服务研究的博士学位，博士后实习生(具有博士学位的临床医生)获得结果研究的MSPH。我们建议在第一至第二年维持5个学位(2个学前和3个学后)，并在第3年增加2个学位，以期在2010年前达到5年续期的稳定状态，即3个学前和4个学后。博士后和博士后职位的任期分别为2年和3年。这个周期的增强还包括增加领导力(Eta Berner，Carol Ashton，Nelda Wray)，更多地强调健康信息学，新的组织结构，以及更有条理的项目评估。

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.
