Regenstrief Informatics Research Fellowships

本申请描述了Regenstrief医学信息学研究奖学金计划，该计划的任务是为医学信息学的学术生涯准备博士后研究员。每年将招募3-4名研究员参加为期两年的研究金。少数研究员将被给予延长到第三年的选择。通过参加研究金课程中现有方法的教学课程和研究会议，研究员将获得广泛的一般研究技能。通过医学信息学课程、实践经验、其他讲座和讨论形式以及大学课程工作，他们将获得基本的计算机方法能力，提高他们的写作技能，学习负责任的研究行为和医学信息系统的结构内容和设计，发展对生物信息学和成像信息学技术的一般理解，并熟悉他们将作为研究项目基础的当地数据集和计算机系统。每个研究员都需要掌握现代编程语言的能力，以便他们能够了解所使用的系统的优点和局限性，并能够完成需要 一些编程工作。研究员将被要求完成至少两个项目，其中一个必须是流行病学/数据库研究项目。他们将被要求以一种适合于拨款申请的形式来撰写计划，并以一种适合发表的形式来公布结果。到第二个研究金年度结束时，研究员将完成临床流行病学项目，设计和实施发展研究项目， 进行自己的数据分析，并撰写论文提交给同行评议的出版物。教学和导师将由Regenstrief研究所的多学科教员提供，这些教员代表了医疗信息学、卫生服务研究、初级保健研究、决策科学、生物信息学和成像信息学、行为医学、临床流行病学和生物统计学等领域。

This application describes the Regenstrief Medical Informatics Research Fellowship Program, the mission of which is to prepare post-doctoral fellows for academic careers in medical informatics. Each year, a total of 3-4 fellows will be recruited into two-year fellowships. A few fellows will be given the option to extend to a third year. By participating in the didactic curriculum and research meetings of the existing Methods in Research Fellowship curriculum, research fellows will obtain a broad array of general research skills. Through the Medical Informatics curriculum, practicum experience, other lecture and discussion formats, and university course work they will gain competency in basic computer methods, they will improve their writing skills, learn the responsible conduct of research and the structure content and design of medical information systems, develop a general understanding of bioinformatics and imaging informatics techniques, and become familiar with the local data sets and computer systems on which they will base their research projects. Each fellow will be expected to gain competency in a modern programming language so that they can understand the strengths and limits of the systems with which they work and be able to complete project work that requires some amount of programming. Fellows will be required to complete at least two projects, one of which must be an epidemiology/database research project. They will be expected to write up the plan in a form suitable for a grant application, and the results in a form suitable for publication. By the end of their second fellowship year, fellows will have performed a clinical epidemiologic project, designed and conducted a developmental research project, performed their own data analyses, and written papers to be submitted to peer-reviewed publications. Didactic teaching and mentors will be provided by the multidisciplinary faculty of the Regenstrief Institute representing the fields of medical informatics, health services research, primary care research, decision science, bioinformatics and imaging informatics, behavioral medicine, clinical epidemiology, and biostatistics.
