Yale-CORE Career Development Program in Patient-Centered Outcomes Research

描述（由申请人提供）：该计划的目标是通过使用比较有效性研究（CER）方法，将学者培养成在研究、领导和翻译方面熟练的以患者为中心的结果研究（PCOR）科学家，从而改善美国的医疗保健。CER通过生成关于替代策略的知识来支持PCOR，为患者及其护理人员、卫生保健专业人员和决策者的选择提供信息。支持卫生保健方面的临床、组织和政策决定的证据远远落后于所需的证据。挑战在于，虽然对这些知识的需求巨大，但我们专注于PCOR并接受过CER工具培训的研究人员太少，他们也具备在研究过程中将患者和公众作为合作伙伴参与进来的技能，并有效地将研究转化为行动。该计划将：[目标1]培养具有知识、技能和能力的科学家，使他们成为独立的PCOR研究者，并产生准备应用的实用知识；[目标2]培养未来的领导者，他们有能力领导广泛包容的多学科团队，研究可能改善医疗保健的主题，并参与领导医疗保健的积极变革；[目标3]通过培养学者的能力，使利益相关者（包括患者及其护理人员）参与进来，通过使用一系列方法将他们的研究从一开始就传播到广泛的个人，并促进研究结果在实际实践中的应用，从而发展知识翻译。该计划有一个教学组成部分，包括课程作业和体验式学习，以及指导的研究经验。学者应开发和实施至少两个主要的个人研究项目；成功的学者将获得卫生服务硕士学位。教职员工来自耶鲁大学的各个学院，包括医学、护理、公共卫生、法律、管理、艺术与科学，以及医学领域，包括内科、儿科、急诊医学、妇产科和精神病学。根据学者之前的培训情况，该项目将持续两到三年。我们计划在实施的第一年招收3名学者，随后几年增加到4或5名。候选人必须：a)拥有认可项目的博士学位（MD， DO或PhD，或同等学历），b)是美国公民或非公民国民，或合法永久居留。除了这些最低的正式要求外，以下资格是必不可少的：a)对PCOR和CER的坚定承诺的证据；B)在以前的学术或临床培训领域有卓越的学术记录；C)承诺与利益攸关方合作，注重知识的产生和转化。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of the Program is to improve health care in the United States by developing Scholars to be patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR) scientists skilled in research, leadership, and translation, using comparative effectiveness research (CER) methods. CER supports PCOR through generation of knowledge about alternative strategies to inform the choices of patients and their caregivers, health care professionals, and policymakers. The evidence to support clinical, organizational and policy decisions in health care lags far behind what is needed. The challenge is that while there is an immense need for this knowledge, we have too few investigators focused on PCOR and trained in the tools of CER who also have the skills to engage patients and the public as partners in the course of the research and to be effective in translating research into action. The proposed program will: [Aim 1] Develop scientists with the knowledge, skills, and ability to become independent PCOR investigators and generate practical knowledge poised for application; [Aim 2] Develop future leaders who have the ability to lead broadly inclusive multidisciplinary teams in studying topics likely to improve health care and participate in leading positive change in health care; [Aim 3] Develop knowledge translators by building Scholar capacity to engage stakeholders, including patients and their caregivers, communicate about their research from inception through dissemination to a broad range of individuals using an array of approaches, and promote the application of the findings in actual practice. The program has a didactic component, including coursework and experiential learning, and mentored research experience. Scholars are expected to develop and implement at least two major individual research projects; successful Scholars will receive a Masters in Health Services degree. Faculty represent an extraordinary breadth of disciplines from a wide array of schools within Yale, including Medicine, Nursing, Public Health, Law, Management, and Arts and Sciences, and areas within medicine, including internal medicine, pediatrics, emergency medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, and psychiatry. The program will be two to three years in duration, based upon Scholars' prior training. We anticipate recruiting three Scholars in the first year of implementation, increasing t four or five in subsequent years. Candidates must: a) have a Doctoral Degree (MD, DO or PhD, or equivalent) from an accredited program and b) be a United States citizen or non-citizen national, or be lawfully admitted for permanent residence. In addition to these minimal formal requirements, the following qualifications are essential: a) evidence of a strong commitment to PCOR and CER; b) a record of academic excellence in fields of previous academic or clinical training; c) a commitment to work with stakeholders as partners and to focus on knowledge generation and translation.
