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，并授权开展比较有效性研究（CER），为医疗保健和政策决策提供信息。CER任务由一个5亿美元的医疗保险信托基金资助，创造了对合格研究人员开展这项研究以改善该国健康状况的前所未有的需求。新成立的布朗公共卫生学院的循证医学中心（CEBM）是K12指导临床科学家发展计划的理想场所，为学者将CER方法应用于以患者为中心的结果研究（PCOR）做好准备。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体验学习和研究机会。K12项目还将补充和利用布朗大学及其临床附属机构现有的高度重视和已建立的培训项目，如卫生服务政策与实践系的两个t32项目，临床和转化研究的新硕士项目，以及卫生服务研究、生物统计学和流行病学的已建立的博士项目。几位项目导师是重要CER领域的先驱、方法和意见领袖，他们是学者们的榜样。这个K12职业发展项目将由Joseph Lau医学博士领导，他是布朗大学CEBM和EPC的联合主任。他将得到来自布朗公共卫生学院其他研究中心和合作组织的教师和研究人员的支持，这些教师和研究人员具有相关的CER专业知识和研究兴趣，包括来自HSPP，生物统计学和流行病学部门的主要教师。该计划的具体目标是：1。从布朗大学社区内外招募高素质、积极进取、社会人口统计学多样化的博士后候选人和初级教师作为学者。2. 培养学者对CER方法、利益相关者参与、研究伦理、领导力发展、论文准备和资助的熟练程度。3. 根据学生的背景和未来的职业目标，为每位学生制定个性化的职业发展规划。

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.
