DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application seeks support for an interdisciplinary predoctoral and postdoctoral fellowship program that joins together three highly successful, research fellowship training programs from Boston University School of Medicine and adds a fourth from Boston University School of Public Health. The principal objective of the program is to train emerging researchers in three overlapping domains: (1) how health reform impacts urban, low-income families; (2) conduct research that improves the quality of care provided to low-income populations, and (3) provide trainees the knowledge and skills to shape future health policy for vulnerable populations. Since 2000, the combined programs have had 45 graduates in their research tracks of whom two-thirds are currently clinician-investigator faculty in Departments of Family Medicine, Pediatrics, Internal Medicine, or Health Policy/Management in the nation's medical schools, teaching hospitals and schools of public health. Moreover, three-quarters of them devote at least 50% time to their research careers. Their publication and grant record indicates that they have already successfully launched their research careers. These publications substantially address the health care issues and unmet health care needs of our target population: vulnerable people who reside in inner-city urban areas. The programs have individually received prior training grants, including over ten HRSA Title VII Faculty Development Program Grant Awards, most recently in 2011-2016. Together the departments have over $27 million in current research grants, and program faculty members have extensive records of successful research mentoring. They include leaders in healthcare disparities, healthcare reform, prevention science, economics and health policy. We seek support for four postdoctoral fellows and two predoctoral fellows in each funding year. The support for this innovative training opportunity will facilitate health services research training for future generations that is interdisciplinary and informed by primary care and public health perspectives. The program attracts qualified trainees, provides excellent training and guidance, and our curriculum is proven to launch graduates into productive academic research careers. The knowledge and skills provided in the training program will assist our graduates to perform research that will inform policy makers about the impact of health reform on urban, low- income families, and will provide important information that will be used to improve the quality of care provided to all Americans, especially those most in need.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请为跨学科前和博士后奖学金计划提供支持，该计划将波士顿大学医学院的三项非常成功的研究奖学金培训计划加入，并增加了波士顿大学公共卫生学院的第四名。该计划的主要目标是在三个重叠领域的新兴研究人员培训新兴的研究人员：（1）卫生改革如何影响城市，低收入家庭； （2）进行研究，以提高为低收入人群提供的护理质量，（3）为受训者提供知识和技能，以塑造弱势群体的未来健康政策。自2000年以来，合并后的计划在其研究轨道上有45名毕业生，其中三分之二是目前是家庭医学，儿科，内科医学或卫生政策/管理部门的临床医生评估学院，该国医学院，医院和公共卫生学院教授。此外，其中四分之三将至少50％的时间用于研究职业。他们的出版和赠款记录表明，他们已经成功启动了研究职业。这些出版物实质上解决了目标人群的医疗保健问题和未满足的医疗保健需求：居住在城市城市地区的脆弱人群。 这些计划已单独收到了先前的培训补助金，其中包括十个HRSA标题VII教师发展计划赠款奖，最近在2011年至2016年。当前的研究补助金共有超过2700万美元，计划教职员工有广泛的成功研究指导记录。它们包括医疗保健差异，医疗改革，预防科学，经济学和健康政策的领导者。 我们在每个资金一年中寻求支持四名博士后研究员和两个摄影前研究员的支持。对这种创新培训机会的支持将促进跨学科的子孙后代的卫生服务研究培训，并以初级保健和公共卫生的观点告知。该计划吸引了合格的学员，提供了出色的培训和指导，我们的课程被证明可以将毕业生启动到生产性的学术研究职业。培训计划中提供的知识和技能将帮助我们的毕业生进行研究，以告知决策者健康改革对城市，低收入家庭的影响，并将提供重要的信息，这些信息将用于提高提供给所有美国人（尤其是最需要帮助的美国人）的护理质量。
