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）：本T32申请心血管结果研究博士后奖学金项目，旨在通过扩展和改进现有的aha资助的结果研究培训项目，满足地区和国家对心血管结果和护理质量研究的更多学者的需求，这是中西部地区独一无二的。这个中美洲心脏研究所/密苏里大学堪萨斯城分校的研究项目为年轻的研究人员获得心血管结果和护理研究质量的技术提供了坚实的基础。因此，它已经发展成为我们地区2所医学院和4所医院系统的中心统一研究项目，并为更远的项目提供专业培训经验，包括圣路易斯华盛顿大学和爱荷华大学。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结果研究的原则和技术来进行比较有效性研究，并将现有知识转化为临床实践。为期两年的培训计划由3个协同部分组成：1)临床研究的一般技能基础（包括临床研究硕士学位），2)结果研究和学术“生存技能”的专业技能（我们基于结果的核心课程），以及3)实践研究。课程具有很强的互动性，为学员提供了积极运用所学概念的机会。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要，访问众多现有的数据来源，以及经验丰富的统计支持。对现有项目的改进计划包括在堪萨斯城增加培训机会；创造在耶鲁大学进行外部研究轮转的新机会，以支持CMS数据的使用；加强培训方案目前使用二手数据的力度，包括更加强调收集小型试点项目的第一手数据；并在为期两年的重点培训项目之外扩大指导支持。管理该项目将由一名合格的项目主任，由一名经验丰富的助理和助理主任支持。7个方法论核心（大型数据库分析、经济学和决策分析、定性和实施研究、研究设计方法论和统计学以及社区参与性研究）的领导者致力于支持培训计划。该项目将得到内部和外部咨询委员会的支持。总的来说，我们的团队将提供一个正式的培训，指导和评估项目，在支持研究员为科学文献做出重大贡献和开始成功的学术研究生涯方面取得了高度成功。
