UW Centers for Comparative and Health Systems Effectiveness Training Program

描述(由申请人提供)：我们建议与我们在团体健康研究所、弗雷德·哈钦森癌症研究中心和退伍军人管理局卓越卫生服务研究和发展中心的研究伙伴合作，在华盛顿大学建立一个多学科指导的临床科学家比较有效性研究职业发展(K12)计划。我们请求AHRQ K12为2010年6名博士后实习生提供为期3年的培训。我们将招聘来自不同背景、有潜力在比较有效性研究领域取得卓越成就的高素质受训人员。以能力为基础的课程将侧重于CER的六个关键领域：1)生物统计学和流行病学；2)卫生服务研究；3)成果研究；4)实用临床试验；5)卫生信息技术；6)与利益攸关方合作。学员将在与多个外部合作伙伴进行外部轮换期间，在地方、州、地区和国家层面开展应用的多学科研究。CER学者队列将产生与AHRQ优先事项相一致的高质量研究，对不同的利益攸关方有用。该计划建立了评估标准、方法和持续质量改进的方法。我们的K12研究导师将为下一代CER学者做好准备，以进行、综合和实施研究，比较旨在诊断、治疗和监测“真实世界”环境中的健康状况的替代干预措施。拟议的计划将在全国范围内以及由人口稀少的太平洋西北地区组成的五个州建设CER的能力。咨询委员会/领导小组的成员以及K12项目的其他导师在培养高素质调查人员方面有着出色的记录，过去的大多数实习生现在担任大学、卫生研究和政策组织、医疗保健行业和政府的领导者和变革推动者。 公共卫生相关性：我们在华盛顿大学提出了一项有指导的比较有效性研究培训计划(K12)，该计划将使六名学者具备规划、实施和应用实用临床和卫生服务研究的技能。重要的是，学者和他们的导师将与当地和区域利益攸关方接触，以确定知识差距，并帮助形成支持最佳做法和改善公众健康的研究项目。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose to establish a multidisciplinary Mentored Clinical Scientist Comparative Effectiveness Research Career Development (K12) Program at the University of Washington in collaboration with our research partners at Group Health Research Institute, the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, and the Veterans' Administration Health Services Research and Development Center of Excellence. We are requesting AHRQ K12 support for six postdoctoral trainees in 2010 for a 3-year training period. We will recruit highly qualified trainees from different backgrounds who have the potential for an outstanding career in comparative effectiveness research. The competency-based curriculum will focus on six key areas of CER: 1) biostatistics and epidemiology; 2) health services research; 3) outcomes research; 4) pragmatic clinical trials; 5) health information technology; and 6) collaboration with stakeholders. Trainees will carry out applied, multidisciplinary research at the local, state, regional, and national levels during external rotations with multiple external partners. The cohort of CER Scholars will produce high-quality research aligned with AHRQ priorities that is useful for diverse stakeholders. The program has established evaluation criteria, methods, and a continuous quality improvement approach. Our K12 research Mentors will prepare the next generation of CER Scholars to conduct, synthesize, and implement studies comparing alternative interventions designed to diagnose, treat, and monitor health conditions in "real world" settings. The proposed program will build capacity in CER nationally and in the five states comprising the large and sparsely populated Pacific Northwest Region. Members of the Advisory Council/Leadership Group, as well as other Mentors for the K12 program, have an excellent record of producing highly qualified investigators, with the majority of past trainees now filling roles as leaders and change agents in universities, health research and policy organizations, the health care industry, and government. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: We propose a Mentored Comparative Effectiveness Research Training Program (K12) at the University of Washington that will equip six Scholars with the skills to plan, conduct, and apply practical clinical and health services research. Importantly, Scholars and their Mentors will engage with local and regional stakeholders to identify gaps in knowledge and help shape research projects that will support best practices and improve the health of the public.
