Training Grant in Quality of Care and Outcomes Research in Cardiovascular Disease

描述(由申请者提供)：这是一份T32心血管疾病护理质量和结果研究培训补助金的申请。该项目是为正在从内科或家庭医学临床培训过渡到学术职业生涯的医学博士研究人员设计的。该计划的主要特点包括完成临床流行病学和卫生服务研究的硕士学位，以及在护理质量和结果研究方面的研究经验。申请者还将参加美国心脏协会关于心血管疾病和中风的护理质量和结果研究的年度科学论坛、为期十天的心血管疾病流行病学和预防研讨会、涉及行为干预的随机临床试验夏季培训研究所，并接受负责任的研究进行的额外培训。这一培训计划的目标是培训有能力将护理质量和结果研究的新进展应用于心血管研究的临床研究人员，并协助将新的临床科学进步转化为政策和实践。这一培训计划与NHLBI的使命一致，即培训能够产生新知识的调查人员，以改善心血管疾病患者或有心血管疾病风险的患者的护理质量和结果。心血管疾病是美国的主要死亡原因，也是发病率的主要贡献者。

Description (provided by applicant): This a T32 application for a training grant in quality of care and outcomes research in cardiovascular disease. The program is designed for M.D. investigators who are transitioning from clinical training in Internal Medicine or Family Medicine to academic careers. Key features of the program include completion of a Master's degree in clinical epidemiology and health services research with research experience in quality of care and outcomes research. The applicants will also attend the American Heart Association's Annual Scientific Forum on Quality of Care and Outcomes Research in Cardiovascular Disease and Stroke, the Ten- Day Seminar on the Epidemiology and Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease, the Summer Training Institute for Randomized Clinical Trials Involving Behavioral Interventions, and receive additional training in the responsible conduct of research. The goal of this training program is to train clinical investigators who are well equipped to apply the new advances in quality of care and outcomes research to the conduct of cardiovascular research and to assist in the translation of new clinical science advances into policy and practice. This training program is consistent with the mission of the NHLBI to train investigators who can generate new knowledge to improve quality of care and outcomes for patients with or at risk for cardiovascular disease, the nation's leading cause of death and a major contributor to morbidity.
