Training in Gerontological Health Services Research

该提案要求设立“老龄化研究补充性培训奖”，以支持攻读博士前课程的学生 老年学和长期护理跟踪导致卫生政策和管理的博士学位。建议的培训补助金 将补充该机构现有的“卫生服务研究培训”赠款(T32，HS00029，PI：J.Weiner)，用于 医疗保健研究与质量(AHRQ)。 利用一个强大的、富有成效的、已有16年历史的HSR培训计划的势头，这一新倡议将有助于为 下一代老年学家，他们将寻求卫生服务的新知识，这将是应对 为迅速增长的美国老年人口提供高质量、高成本效益的医疗保健。具体目标是： 1.帮助在老年健康服务研究领域招收多样化、高素质的博士前学生， 具体地说，到高铁博士课程的老年学和长期护理轨道，由 约翰霍普金斯大学彭博公共卫生学院的卫生政策和管理(HPM)。 2.在两年的GHSR跨学科培训期间，支持初学者进入这一轨道，为他们进行 创造性和严谨的研究旨在促进我们的系统的质量和成本效益的改进 老年人的医疗保健。学生将在高铁应用的科学理论和方法方面打下坚实的基础。 老年人口的医疗保健。他们将学习老龄化的流行病学、人口学和生物学，以及 老年人经常经历的连续医疗保健。他们将参加定期的研讨会、国家科学研究 会议、临床实践和密集指导的研究经验。 3.增加HPM系高铁专业博士学位和学院证书的毕业生人数 老年学，然后在GHSR领导富有成效的职业生涯，从而提高护理的质量、成本和结果。 这项计划将由12core和8名附属教职员工进行，他们表现出杰出的持续 在GHSR的教育和研究方面的承诺、专业知识和生产力。

This proposal requests a "Complementary Training Award for Research on Aging" to support pre-doctoral students enrolled in a Gerontology and Long-Term Care Track leading to a Ph.D. degree in Health Policy and Management. The proposed Training Grant will complement an existing "Training in Health Services Research"grant (T32, HS00029, PI: J. Weiner) from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). Capitalizing on the momentumof a strong, productive, 16-year old HSRtraining program, this new initiative will help to prepare the next generation of gerontologists who will seek new knowledge of health services that will be needed to meet the challenges of providing high-quality, cost-effective health care for the burgeoning population of older Americans. The specific aims are: 1. To help recruit diverse, highly qualified pre-doctoral students to the field of gerontologic health services research (GHSR), specifically, to the Gerontology and Long-Term Care Track of the HSR doctoral curriculum offered by the Departmentof Health Policy and Management (HPM) of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. 2. To support matriculants into this Track throughout two years of interdisciplinarytraining in GHSR that prepares them to conduct creative and rigorous researchdesigned to catalyze improvements in the quality and cost-effectiveness of our system of health care for older people. Students will acquire firm groundings in the scientific theory and methods of HSR as applied to the health care of older populations. They will study the epidemiology, demography, and biology of aging, as well as the continuum of health care that older people often experience. They will participate in regular seminars, national scientific meetings,clinical practicums, and intensely mentored research experiences. 3. To increase the number of graduates who earn the HPM Department's Ph.D. degree in HSR and the School's Certificate in Gerontology, then lead productive careers in GHSR that leadto improvements in the quality, costs and outcomes of care. This program will be conducted by 12core and eight affiliated faculty members who have demonstrated outstanding sustained commitment, expertise, and productivity in education and research in GHSR.
