JUNIOR SCHOLAR DEVELOPMENT CORE

初级学者发展核心的主要目标是：（1）支持那些 最近获得博士学位谁寻求建立有关网络和 社区对健康的影响;（2）促进社会网络和地理区域的新研究 邻里对健康和医疗保健的影响，特别是与强调的主题有关， 本计划项目（例如，描述患者和提供者的社交网络， 卫生成果之间的联系、地理分组与卫生成果之间的相互作用以及 社会背景变量在确定健康）;和（3）培养一个环境，强调学习 跨研究项目和核心的研究和开发，特别是在目标2所述的领域。我们也 我希望在哈佛大学更广泛地提高对这些主题的关注。关于这三个 目的，初级学者发展核心将为博士后研究员提供工资支持， 由这些研究员和提出申请的初级教员进行的小规模试点研究的资金。核心C将 还资助职业发展活动，为学习和交流思想提供机会，例如 参加科学会议。通过这一举措，我们的目标是增加研究人员的数量 参与研究社会网络和邻里对健康的影响，使主题成为， 仍然是越来越多的关于健康的社会背景的研究的重要组成部分， 提供保健服务。核心C还将为个人提供博士后水平的科学人才 通过将研究员与正在进行的研究项目相匹配，在本计划项目中开展项目。通过 管理博士后研究职位的资金集中在核心C，我们将能够最 有效地满足我们的双重目标（1）培养博士后的个人兴趣和研究议程 研究员，以及（2）将这些研究员与研究项目教师相匹配，他们的项目将从他们的研究中受益。 技能和兴趣。将小额赠款计划与博士后奖学金计划相结合， 促进初级学者研究项目之间的最大化交流。我们有信心 核心C的存在将在计划项目内营造一个充满活力的研究氛围，并受到新技术的激励 一群来自广泛科学学科的杰出青年科学家提出的想法。

The primary aims of the Junior Scholar Development Core are to: (1) to support career development of those recently acquiring doctoral degrees who seek to build research programs relating to network and neighborhood effects on health; (2) stimulate new research in the area of social network and geographic neighborhood effects on health and health care, particularly relating to the themes that are emphasized in this Program Project (e.g., the description of social networks of patients and providers, the effects of health linkages on health outcomes, the interplay of geographic clustering and health outcomes, and the role of social context variables in determining health); and (3) to foster an environment that emphasizes learning and development across research projects and cores, especially in the areas described in Aim 2. We also hope to increase attention to these topics more broadly at Harvard University. In connection with these three aims, the Junior Scholar Development Core will provide salary support for post-doctoral research fellows and funds for small-scale pilot research conducted by those fellows and by junior faculty who apply. Core C will also fund career development activities that afford opportunities for learning and exchange of ideas, such as travel to scientific conferences. Through this initiative, we aim to increase the number of researchers involved in the study of social network and neighborhood effects on health so that the topic becomes and remains an important component of the increasing body of research on the social context of health and health care delivery. Core C will also provide post-doctoral level scientific personnel for the individual projects within this Program Project effort by matching fellows with on-going research projects. By administering the funding for post-doctoral research positions centrally in Core C, we will be able to most efficiently meet our twin goals of (1) fostering the individual interests and research agendas of post-doctoral fellows, and (2) matching these fellows with research project faculty whose projects would benefit from their skills and interests. Integrating the Small Grants Program with the Post-Doctoral Fellowship Program will promote maximal cross-fertilization among research projects of junior scholars. We are confident that the existence of Core C will result in a dynamic research climate within the Program Project, energized by new ideas from an outstanding group of young scientists from a broad array of scientific disciplines.
