HMORN 2012 NIH Conference Grant

描述(由申请人提供)：本提案请求国家癌症研究所(NCI)的支持，以及国家心肺血液研究所(NHLBI)和国家精神卫生研究所(NIMH)的二次赞助，以参加2012年春季和2013年春季的第18和第19届HMO研究网络(HMORN)会议。2012年会议将于4月29日至5月2日在华盛顿州西雅图由团体健康研究所(GHRI)主办，2013年会议将由北加州凯撒永久研究部(KPNC)主办。HMORN是一个由16个国家和国际公认的研究中心组成的联盟，总部设在综合医疗保健提供系统中，专注于进行非专有的临床、流行病学和卫生服务研究。年度会议促进了基于卫生组织的研究人员之间正在进行的合作研究，并提供了一个激励新的和创新的研究倡议的场所。此外，它还提供了一个论坛，供研究人员、政策制定者、付款人和AHRQ、CDC、NCI、NHLBI和其他NIH研究所的代表进行对话，促进将创新想法从科学转化为医疗保健。会议的目标是：1)交流和传播最新的科学研究成果，特别强调以转化性研究为重点的会议；2)提出定义最新科学状况并鼓励医疗保健研究、提供和政策方面的创新的实证研究结果；3)确定与医疗保健研究和提供相关的新兴主题和方法；以及4)通过分组随机临床试验、形成协作研究网络、虚拟数据仓库和纳入不同的人群，促进比较有效性和实施研究。2012年会议的主题是学习医疗系统：通过研究引领，展示了HMORN的承诺，即超越网络和我们的传统合作者，分享我们的经验，讨论工具和技术，并扩大在尖端医疗研究和提供方面富有成效的公私合作伙伴关系的机会。2012年的会议主题和相应的议程与NCI支持癌症研究、研究培训和支持癌症研究网络的使命密切相关。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests support from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and secondary sponsorship from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) and National Institute for Mental Health (NIMH) for the 18th and 19th annual HMO Research Network (HMORN) conferences in spring 2012 and 2013. The 2012 conference will be hosted by Group Health Research Institute (GHRI), April 29 to May 2, in Seattle, Washington, and the 2013 conference will be hosted by the Division of Research, Kaiser Permanente Northern California (KPNC). The HMORN is a consortium of 16 nationally and internationally recognized research centers based in integrated health care delivery systems that focus on conducting non-proprietary clinical, epidemiologic, and health services research. The annual meeting nurtures ongoing collaborative research among HMO-based researchers and provides a venue that stimulates new and innovative research initiatives. Additionally, it provides a forum for dialogue among researchers, policy makers, payers and representatives of AHRQ, CDC, NCI, NHLBI, and other NIH institutes, facilitating the translation of innovative ideas from science to healthcare. The objectives of the conference are to: 1) Communicate and disseminate state-of-the-science research findings, with a specific emphasis on translational research-focused sessions; 2) Present empirical findings that define the state-of-the-science and stimulate innovation across healthcare research, delivery and policy; 3) Define emerging topics and methodologies related to healthcare research and delivery; and 4) Advance comparative effectiveness and implementation research via cluster randomized clinical trials, formation of collaborative research networks, virtual data warehouses, and inclusion of diverse populations. The theme of the 2012 meeting, Learning Healthcare Systems: Leading through Research, demonstrates the HMORN commitment to reach beyond the network and our traditional collaborators to share our experiences, discuss tools and technologies, and expand opportunities for productive public-private partnerships in cutting edge healthcare research and delivery. The 2012 conference theme and corresponding agenda are closely aligned with NCI's mission to support cancer research, research training, and to support cancer research networks.
