UAB Health Services & Outcomes Research Training Program

描述（由申请人提供）：我们提议在阿拉巴马大学伯明翰分校（UAB）开展多学科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结果和有效性研究与教育中心（COERE）和UAB Lister Hill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。该项目将培养一批独立的新调查人员，他们的职业将专注于TRIP。需要发展的技能包括：改变医生的执业行为、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、实验和准实验方法学、大数据集分析、经济评估和结果研究方法学的实际应用。该培训计划的基石是导师指导、学术丰富和独立研究经验。该计划将从UAB的大量人才中汲取经验，提供具有丰富的健康服务研究经验，多年多学科研究合作以及优秀教学和研究记录的导师。该项目将采用一种正式的方式来“培训导师”，重点是初级教师作为助理导师。该计划的学术组成部分包括卫生政策和成果研究的硕士学位（公共卫生学院）和卫生服务管理-卫生服务研究方向的博士学位（卫生相关专业学院）。每个受训者将确定一个主要的研究重点，设计和完成一个trips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，我们将有一个广泛的少数族裔招聘计划。作为COERE在其他培训和研究项目上的合作伙伴，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、公共卫生学院、护理学院和卫生相关专业提供。其他UAB中心和合作项目（例如UAB CERTs和Birmingham VA Medical Center）将根据研究重点和实习生的主要导师提供基础设施。博士后职位将为期两年，预算为PGY 4级。博士预科职位为期三年。我们每年招聘2名博士预科生和2名临床博士后（即医学博士、医学博士、护士、临床心理学家）。这将导致第2年分别有4个和4个职位，第3至第5年分别有6个和4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.
