Yale Training Program in Health Services Research

描述(由申请者提供)：我们培训计划的目标是培养积极和独立的研究人员，他们推动医疗服务研究领域的发展，并为改善我们医疗保健系统的功能提供关键证据。我们要求继续我们之前资助的4个博士后培训名额和2个博士后培训名额，自2008年首次授予以来，这两个名额已经100%填满。该项目将设在耶鲁大学公共卫生学院(YSPH)的卫生政策和管理部(HPM)。来自YSPH、耶鲁医学院、耶鲁护理学院和耶鲁艺术与科学研究生院的32名教职员工将参与其中。博士前实习生从YGSAS获得博士学位。博士前实习生在毕业前完成两年的课程；必修课是卫生服务研究、统计学和方法，以及一个有深度的领域。深入的领域包括1)政治和政策分析，2)经济理论和应用，3)组织理论和管理。学员还将完成综合阅读课程，作为课程的顶峰，并参加所需的多学科研讨会。我们还包括将研究转化为实践和政策(TRIPP)体验，这是一个4-6周的时间承诺(根据具体情况，时间和地点将有所不同)，受训人员熟悉对传播和将受训人员的研究转化为实践和政策至关重要的机构和机构。TRIPP体验是与实习生、教师顾问和机构/组织合作计划的，旨在与实习生的研究以及随后在实践和政策中使用该研究相关。已完成博士或医学博士教育的博士后实习生将根据之前的大量研究培训和与正在进行的教师项目相一致的研究目标进行选择。博士后培训的典型期限为2年，重点是导师式研究。博士后培训将 包括他们100%的努力；博士后实习生在大学将没有其他分配的任务。YSPH的HPM部门有5名终身教授和6名卫生服务研究副教授和助理教授，今年正在寻找额外的2名教师。我们的教师是多学科的；我们在指导博士后和博士后实习生方面表现出了出色的生产力，我们致力于为政策和实践提供应用证据。我们资助的研究项目跨越了AHRQ的优先领域，并有大量的翻译成分，使耶鲁成为AHRQ国家研究服务奖机构研究培训项目的理想地点。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of our training program is to develop active and independent investigators who advance the field of health services research and provide critical evidence for improving the functioning of our health care system. We request continuation of our previously funded 4 pre-doctoral training slots and 2 post-doctoral training slots, which have been 100% filled since the initial award in 2008. The program will be located in the Division of Health Policy and Management (HPM) in the Yale School of Public Health (YSPH). A total of 32 faculty members will be involved from YSPH, Yale School of Medicine, Yale School of Nursing, and Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. Pre-doctoral trainees receive their PhDs from YGSAS. Pre-doctoral trainees complete 2 years of courses prior to their dissertations; required courses are in health services research, statistics and methods, and an area of depth. The areas of depth include 1) political and policy analysis, 2) economic theory and application, and 3) organization theory and management. Trainees also complete an integrative readings course as a capstone to the curriculum and participate in the required multidisciplinary seminar. We also include a Translating Research into Practice and Policy (TRIPP) experience, which is a 4-6 week time commitment (which will vary in time and placement as appropriate in individual cases) in which trainees become familiar with institutions and agencies that are central to the dissemination and translation of the trainee's research into practice and policy. The TRIPP experience is planned collaboratively with the trainee, faculty advisor, and agency/organization and is designed to be pertinent to the trainees' research and subsequent use of that research in practice and policy. Post-doctoral trainees, who have completed PhD or MD education, will be selected based on substantial previous research training and research goals consistent with ongoing faculty projects. The typical duration of the post-doctoral training is 2 years, with the focus on mentored research. Post-doctoral training will encompass 100% of their effort; post-doctoral trainees will have no other assigned duties at the University. The HPM division at YSPH has 5 tenured professors and 6 associate and assistant professors in health services research, and is searching for 2 additional faculty this year. Our faculty is multidisciplinary; we have demonstrated outstanding productivity in mentoring pre-doctoral and post-doctoral trainees, and we are committed to producing applied evidence for policy and practice. Our funded research projects span AHRQ priority areas and have substantial translation components, making Yale an ideal location for AHRQ National Research Service Award Institutional Research Training program in health services research.
