描述(由申请人提供)：我们建议在以患者为中心的结果研究(PCOR)中实施为期5年的UAB K12计划，以支持4组3名PCOR学者(初级教师和杰出博士后)被任命为两年的支持。它将建立在我们目前的卫生服务、结果和有效性研究培训计划以及少数民族健康和健康差距研究培训计划的成功和经验的基础上。我们在医疗保健差距的主要重点领域和卫生系统干预的次要重点领域的广泛研究基础将支持对初级教职员工的加强培训。培训将得到PCOR其他广泛领域的进一步专门知识的支持，这些领域包括：1)预防、诊断和治疗选择的评估；2)沟通和传播；3)加快以患者为中心的研究和方法研究。我们的研究和培训基地来自UAB的5所学校(医学、公共卫生、卫生专业、护理和艺术与科学)，其中包括35名初级PCOR导师和20名副导师。我们已经确定了20名(5名少数族裔)意向的PCOR学者候选人。培训能力由我们的AHRQ治疗学教育和研究中心(CERT)和独特的大学范围内的跨学科研究中心计划支持，包括结果和有效性研究和教育中心以及少数群体健康和健康差异研究中心。我们这个为期5年的职业发展计划的总体目标是扩大我们目前在UAB建立的培训能力。PCOR K12将使我们能够将我们在结果和差异研究方面的优势结合到一个关注健康差异的创新的PCOR职业发展计划中。我们的具体目标是：1)确定和招聘最有前途和最多样化的初级调查人员进行培训；2)通过个人和团队指导和赠款发展提供职业发展支持。3)提供强化的现场和非现场教学课程和多学科培训，重点是PCOR方法和以患者为中心的内容，重点是健康差距和卫生系统4)通过加强跨学科合作，培养团队科学方法，并扩大PCOR的经验，培训对PCOR感兴趣的学者和其他初级调查人员5)扩大我们非常成功的导师培训和导师审查计划，我们的卫生服务、结果和有效性研究以及健康差异培训计划开创了概念。6)扩大由患者权益倡导者、患者组织代表、医疗保健付款人和学术专家组成的小组，就利益相关者参与计划提供建议并协助传播A UAB K12将使我们能够为职业发展建立创新和扩展现有的可持续基础设施，招聘和培训具有巨大潜力的个人成为非常成功的PCOR研究人员，并指导他们成为地方和国家的学术领袖。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose a 5-year UAB K12 program in Patient Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR) to support 4 cohorts of 3 PCOR Scholars (junior faculty and exceptional postdocs) appointed to two years of support. It will build on the successes and experience of our current Health Services, Outcomes, and Effectiveness Research Training Program and Minority Health and Health Disparities Research Training Program. Enhanced training of junior faculty in PCOR will be supported by our extensive research base in our primary emphasis area of healthcare disparities and secondary emphasis area of health system interventions. Training will be supported by further expertise in additional PCOR broad domains of: 1) Assessment of prevention, diagnosis and treatment options, 2) Communication and dissemination, and 3) Accelerating patient-centered and methodological research. Our research and training base is drawn from across 5 UAB Schools (Medicine, Public Health, Health Professions, Nursing, and Arts and Sciences) including 35 Primary PCOR Mentors and 20 Associate Mentors. We have identified 20 (5 minority) prospective PCOR Scholar candidates. Training capacity is supported by our AHRQ Center for Education and Research on Therapeutics (CERTs) and unique University-wide Interdisciplinary Research Centers Program, including the Center for Outcomes and Effectiveness Research and Education and the Minority Health and Health Disparities Research Center. Our overall goal for this 5-year career development program is to expand the training capacity we currently have built at UAB. A PCOR K12 will allow us to combine our strength in outcomes and disparities research into an innovative PCOR career development program with a health disparities focus. Our specific aims are to: 1) Identify and recruit the most promising and diverse junior investigators for training i PCOR 2) Provide career development support through individual and team mentoring and grant development. 3) Provide intensive on-site and off-site didactic curriculum and multi-disciplinary training focused on PCOR methods and patient oriented content with emphasis on health disparities and health systems 4) Foster a team-science approach and expand PCOR experience for training Scholars and other junior investigators with interest in PCOR by strengthening interdisciplinary collaborations 5) Expand our highly successful mentor training and mentorship review programs, concepts pioneered by our Health Services, Outcomes, and Effectiveness Research, and Health Disparities training programs. 6) Expand a panel of patient advocates and representatives of patient organizations, healthcare payers, and academic experts to advise our program on the stakeholder engagement and assist with dissemination A UAB K12 will allow us to build innovative and expand existing and sustainable infrastructure for career development, to recruit and train individuals with significant potential to be highly successful PCOR researchers, and to mentor them toward becoming academic leaders locally and nationally.
