UAB Health Services & Outcomes Research Training Program

描述(由申请人提供)：我们在阿拉巴马大学伯明翰分校(UAB)提出了一个多学科的卫生服务研究培训计划，重点是将研究转化为实践(TRIP)。该应用程序是UAB成果和有效性研究与教育中心(COERE)和UAB利斯特·希尔卫生政策中心(LHC)的合作成果。中心主任Catarina Kiefe、Norm Weissman和Michael Morrisey将提供指导、指导领导和监督。这个项目将产生一批独立的、新的调查人员，他们的职业生涯专注于Trip。要发展的技能包括：改变医生执业行为，提高护理质量，评估提供系统对护理质量的影响，相关的流行病学、统计学、实验和准实验方法，大数据集分析，经济评估，以及结果研究方法的实际应用。这一培训计划的基石是导师、学术充实和独立研究经验。该计划从一大批UAB人才中挑选出来，为他们提供具有丰富的医疗服务研究经验、多年的多学科研究合作以及出色的教学和研究记录的导师。该计划将纳入一种正式的“培训导师”的方法，重点是初级教师作为副导师。该计划的学术部分包括卫生政策和结果研究的M.S.P.H.(公共卫生学院)和卫生服务管理-卫生服务研究轨道的博士学位(卫生相关专业学院)。每个学员将确定一个主要的研究重点，设计和完成一个旅行研究项目，并提交结果供同行评议传播。在UAB的承诺和成功的基础上，我们将制定一个广泛的少数族裔招聘计划。作为与科尔在其他培训和研究计划方面的合作伙伴，莫尔豪斯医学院的教职员工将协助少数族裔的招聘。研究培训基础设施的支持将主要由COERE和LHC以及UAB医学院、公共卫生、护理和健康相关专业提供。其他UAB中心和协作项目(例如，UAB CERT和伯明翰退伍军人医疗中心)将提供基础设施，具体取决于研究重点和学员的主要导师。博士后职位将为期两年，预算为PGY 4级。博士后职位将为期三年。我们每年招聘两名博士后和两名临床博士后(即医学博士、医学博士、护士、临床心理学家)。这将导致在第二年有四个和四个职位，在第三到第五年分别有六个和四个职位。

DESCRIPTION (provided by the applicant): We propose a multidisciplinary health services research training program at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) focused on translating research into practice (TRIP). This application is a collaborative effort of the UAB Center for Outcomes and Effectiveness Research and Education (COERE) and the UAB Lister Hill Center for Health Policy (LHC). The center directors, Catarina Kiefe, Norm Weissman, and Michael Morrisey, will provide direction, mentoring leadership, and oversight. This program will generate a cadre of independent, new investigators with careers focused on TRIP. Among the skills targeted for development are: changing physician practice behavior, improving quality of care, assessing the impact of the delivery system on the quality of care, relevant epidemiological, statistical, experimental, and quasi-experimental methodology, analysis of large datasets, economic evaluation, and the practical application of outcomes research methodology. The cornerstones of this training program are mentorship, academic enrichment, and independent research experience. Drawing from a large pool of UAB talent, this program will offer mentors who have extensive health services research experience, years of multidisciplinary research collaboration, and excellent track records of teaching and research. The program will incorporate a formal approach to "training the mentors," focused on junior level faculty as associate mentors. The academic components of the program include the M.S.P.H. in health policy and outcomes research (School of Public Health) and the Ph.D. in health services administration-health services research track (School of Health Related Professions). Each trainee will identify a major research focus, design and complete a TRIP research project, and submit the results for peer-reviewed dissemination. Building upon the commitment and success of UAB, we will have an extensive plan for minority recruitment. As a collaborator with COERE on other training and research initiatives, Morehouse School of Medicine faculty will assist with minority recruitment. Research training infrastructure support will be provided primarily by the COERE and the LHC, as well as the UAB Schools of Medicine, Public Health, Nursing, and Health Related Professions. Other UAB centers and collaborating programs (e.g., UAB CERTs and Birmingham VA Medical Center) will provide infrastructure, depending on the research focus and the trainee's primary mentor. Postdoctoral positions will be for two years and are budgeted at a PGY level 4. Predoctoral positions will be for three years. We are requesting two predoctoral and two clinician postdoctoral (i.e., M.D.s, D.M.D.s, nurses, clinical psychologists) positions per year. This will result in four and four positions in year 2, and six and four positions in years 3 to 5, respectively.
