DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This T32 application for a postdoctoral fellowship program in cardiovascular outcomes research is designed to meet a regional and national need for more scholars in cardiovascular outcomes and quality of care research by extending and improving an existing AHA-funded outcomes research training program that is unique in the Midwest. This Mid America Heart Institute / University of Missouri-Kansas City research program provides a robust foundation with which young investigators can acquire the techniques of cardiovascular outcomes and quality of care research. As such, it has grown to be the central unifying research program in our region of 2 medical schools and 4 hospital systems and serves as a specialized training experience for more distant programs, including Washington University in St. Louis and the University of Iowa. Our objective is to recruit and mentor outstanding potential researchers who are motivated to learn and apply outcomes research principles and techniques in performing comparative effectiveness research and translating existing knowledge to clinical practice. The 2-year training program is comprised of 3 synergistic components: 1) a basic foundation of general skills for clinical research (including a Masters degree in clinical research), 2) specialized skills for outcomes research and academic 'survival skills' (our outcomes-based core curriculum), and 3) hands-on research. Courses are highly interactive and provide fellows opportunities to actively work with the concepts being studied. Hallmarks of the research experiences include multi- disciplinary group mentorship, individualized to meet the needs of each trainee, access to numerous existing data sources, and highly experienced statistical support. Enhancements planned for the existing program include adding training opportunities within Kansas City; creating new opportunities to do external research rotations at Yale University to support exposure to the use of CMS data; enhancing the current strength of the training program's use of secondary data to include a greater emphasis on primary data collection for small pilot projects; and extending mentorship support beyond the 2-year, focused training program. Administering the program will be a qualified program director, supported by an experienced associate and assistant director. Leaders in 7 methodological cores (large database analysis, economics and decision analysis, qualitative and implementation research, study design methodology and statistics and community-based participatory research) are committed to supporting the training program. The program will be supported by internal and external advisory committees. Collectively, our committed team will provide a formal training, mentorship and evaluation program with highly proven success in supporting the ability of fellows to make significant contributions to the scientific literature and to embark on successful academic research careers.

描述（由申请人提供）：心血管结局研究博士后奖学金计划的T32申请旨在通过扩展和改进现有的AHA资助的结局研究培训计划来满足区域和国家对心血管结局和护理研究质量的更多学者的需求，该计划在中西部是独一无二的。这个美国中部心脏研究所/密苏里-堪萨斯城大学的研究计划提供了一个强大的基础，年轻的研究人员可以获得心血管结局和护理研究质量的技术。因此，它已发展成为我们地区2所医学院和4所医院系统的中央统一研究计划，并为更远的计划提供专业培训经验，包括圣路易斯的华盛顿大学和爱荷华州大学。我们的目标是招募和指导优秀的潜在研究人员，他们有动力学习和应用成果研究原则和技术，进行比较有效性研究，并将现有知识转化为临床实践。为期2年的培训计划由3个协同组件组成：1）临床研究（包括临床研究硕士学位）的一般技能的基本基础，2）成果研究和学术“生存技能”的专业技能（我们以成果为基础的核心课程），和3）动手研究。课程是高度互动的，并为研究员提供机会，积极与正在研究的概念。研究经验的特点包括多学科小组指导，个性化以满足每个学员的需求，访问众多现有数据源，以及经验丰富的统计支持。计划对现有方案进行的改进包括在堪萨斯城内增加培训机会;创造在耶鲁大学进行外部研究轮换的新机会，以支持接触CMS数据的使用;加强培训方案使用二级数据的现有力度，包括更加重视小型试点项目的初级数据收集;并将指导支持扩展到为期两年的重点培训计划之外。管理该计划将是一个合格的项目主任，由一个经验丰富的助理和助理主任支持。7个方法核心（大型数据库分析，经济学和决策分析，定性和实施研究，研究设计方法和统计以及基于社区的参与式研究）的领导者致力于支持培训计划。该计划将得到内部和外部咨询委员会的支持。总的来说，我们致力于团队将提供正式的培训，指导和评估计划，并在支持研究员为科学文献做出重大贡献并开始成功的学术研究生涯的能力方面取得了高度成功。
