Develop Patient Centered Outcomes Scholars for Comparative Effectiveness Research

描述(由申请人提供)：2010年《患者保护和平价医疗法案》创建了以患者为中心的结果研究所，其附带的任务是开展比较有效性研究(CER)，为医疗保健和政策决策提供信息。由一个5亿美元的医疗保险信托基金资助的CER任务，创造了对合格研究人员的前所未有的需求，以开展这项研究，以改善国家的健康状况。新成立的布朗公共卫生学院内的循证医学中心(CEBM)是开展K12指导的临床科学家发展计划的理想场所，该计划旨在帮助学者将循证医学方法应用于以患者为中心的结果研究(PCOR)。CEBM拥有AHRQ设计的循证实践中心(EPC)，可以为K12学者提供许多必要的CER体验式学习和研究机会。K12计划还将补充和利用布朗大学及其临床附属机构现有的备受推崇和成熟的培训计划，如卫生服务政策与实践部门的两个T32，新的临床和翻译研究理学硕士计划，以及卫生服务研究、生物统计学和流行病学的现有博士计划。一些项目导师是重要的CER领域的先驱、方法和意见领袖，他们是学者的榜样。这项K12职业发展计划将由CEBM和Brown EPC的联席主任Joseph Lau，M.D.领导。他将得到布朗公共卫生学院其他研究中心和伙伴组织中具有相关CER专业知识和研究兴趣的选定教师和研究人员的支持，其中包括来自HSPP、生物统计学和流行病学系的关键教师。这一计划的具体目标是：1.从布朗社区内外招募高素质、有积极性、社会人口统计学上多样化的博士后候选人和初级教师作为学者。2.培养学者在CER方法、利益相关者参与、研究道德、领导力发展、手稿准备和赠款方面的熟练程度。3.根据每个学者的背景和未来的职业目标，制定个性化的职业发展计划。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act created the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute with the accompanying mandate to carry out comparativeness effectiveness research (CER) to inform healthcare and policy decisions. The CER mandate, funded by a $500M Medicare trust fund, has created an unprecedented need for qualified researchers to carry out this research to improve the health of the country. The Center for Evidence-based Medicine (CEBM) within the newly formed Brown School of Public Health is an ideal site for this K12 Mentored Clinical Scientist Development program to prepare scholars to apply CER methods to patient centered outcomes research (PCOR). CEBM, with its AHRQ designed Evidence-based Practice Center (EPC), can provide many essential CER experiential learning and research opportunities for the K12 scholars. The K12 program will also complement and leverage existing highly regarded and established training programs at Brown University and its clinical affiliates, such as the two T32s in the Department of Health Services Policy & Practice, the new Masters of Science program in Clinical and Translational Research, and the established PhD programs in Health Services Research, Biostatistics, and Epidemiology. Several program mentors are pioneers and methodological and opinion leaders in important CER areas, and they serve as role models for the scholars. This K12 career development program will be led by Joseph Lau, M.D., Co-Director of CEBM and of the EPC at Brown. He will be supported by selected faculty and researchers with relevant CER expertise and research interests from other research centers at the Brown School of Public Health and partner organizations, including key faculty from the departments of HSPP, Biostatistics, and Epidemiology. The specific aims of this program are: 1.To recruit highly qualified, motivated, and socio-demographically diverse post-doctoral candidates and junior faculty from both within and outside the Brown community as scholars. 2. To develop scholars' proficiency in CER methods, stakeholder engagement, research ethics, leadership development, manuscript preparation, and grantsmanship. 3. To individualize each scholar's career development plan according to his or her background and future career goals.
