Pediatric Health Services Research Training

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的儿科健康服务研究培训计划是一个五年计划，旨在培训医师研究员在以儿童为中心的健康服务研究中的问题，方法和相关观点。该申请建议每年支持6名博士后医师研究员，通过三年的培训，每年有两名医师研究员进入该计划。该计划的目标是通过提供(a)坚实和多方面的学术基础，为未来的研究事业做好准备；(b)在进行真正的、高度严谨的研究方面有经验；(c)社会化成为伦理敏感研究行为的规范行为及其相关价值。为此，培训计划包括五个核心部分：课程作业、研究机会、专业社交、相关临床活动和教学机会。拟议的项目建立在最初五年资助期的成功基础上，这是美国国立卫生研究院为医师研究员资助的第一个儿科卫生服务研究培训项目。最初的项目以参与医师研究员的生产力记录而闻名，包括第一作者的出版物，校外资助，在奖学金培训期之后继续参与研究，以及与正式导师分配方法相关的项目创新；实施标准化评价工具；举办研究员系列讨论会；扩大从代表性不足的少数群体招聘候选人的战略；与儿科亚专科项目合作，联合招聘有兴趣将亚专科临床培训与卫生服务研究培训相结合的候选人。拟议项目的主要单位是密歇根大学普通儿科分部；支持单位是公共卫生学院卫生管理与政策系和医学院罗伯特·伍德·约翰逊临床学者项目。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed Pediatric Health Services Research Training program is a five-year plan to train Physician Fellows in the problems, methods, and relevant perspectives in child-focused health services research. The application proposes to support 6 post-doctoral Physician Fellows per year, by means of three-year traineeships, with two Physician Fellows entering the program each year. The goal of the program is to prepare Physician Fellows for future research careers, through the provision of (a) a solid and multifaceted academic foundation; (b) experience in the conduct of genuine, highly rigorous research; and (c) socialization into the normative behavior of ethically sensitive research conduct and it s associated values. To do so, the training program incorporates five core components: coursework, research opportunities, professional socialization, relevant clinical activity, and teaching opportunities. The proposed program builds on the success of the initial five-year funding period, which represented the first NIH-funded pediatric health services research training program for Physician Fellows. The initial program was notable for the productivity record of the participating Physician Fellows, including first-author publications, extramural funding, and continued involvement in research beyond the fellowship training period, and for program innovations related to formalizing mentor assignment methods; implementation of standardized evaluation tools; institution of a Fellows seminar series; expansion of strategies for recruitment of candidates from underrepresented minority groups; and collaboration with pediatric subspecialty programs on the joint recruitment of fellow candidates interested in combining subspecialty clinical training with health services research training. The primary unit for the proposed program is the Division of General Pediatrics at the University of Michigan; supporting units are the Department of Health Management & Policy, School of Public Health, and the Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars Program, School of Medicine.
