UAB K12 in Patient Centered Outcomes Research

描述（由申请人提供）：我们在以患者为中心的结局研究中提出一个UAB K12项目，以支持4名PCOR学者。它将以我们目前的健康服务/比较有效性研究培训计划和少数民族健康和差异研究培训计划的成功和经验为基础。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广泛的研究基地将支持加强初级教员在PCOR方面的培训。培训将得到其他PCOR广泛领域的进一步专业知识的支持，这些领域包括：1)预防、诊断和治疗方案的比较，2)沟通和传播，以及3)加速以患者为中心的方法研究。我们的研究和培训基地来自5所UAB学院（医学、公共卫生、卫生专业、护理和艺术与科学），包括30名初级PCOR导师和20名副导师。我们已经确定了17名潜在的PCOR学者（5名少数民族）候选人。培训能力由我们最近重新资助的AHRQ治疗学教育和研究中心（CERTs）和独特的大学范围的跨学科研究中心计划提供支持，包括结果和有效性研究和教育中心以及少数民族健康和健康差异研究中心。我们这个为期两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创新的PCOR职业发展计划中，重点关注健康差异。我们的具体目标是：1)确定和招募最有前途和多样化的初级研究人员进行PCOR培训；2)通过个人和团队指导、资助发展和资助提交支持提供职业发展支持。3)提供密集的现场和非现场教学课程以及以PCOR为重点的多学科培训，重点是健康差异和健康系统；4)通过加强跨学科合作，培养团队科学方法，为对PCOR感兴趣的学者和其他初级教师拓展PCOR经验；5)扩展我们非常成功的导师培训和导师评审项目，这些项目是由我们的卫生服务中心（CER）率先提出的概念。以及健康差异培训项目。6)建立一个由患者维权人士、患者组织代表、医疗支付者和学术专家组成的小组，就培训经验向我们的项目提供建议，并协助传播。UAB K12将使我们能够为职业发展建立新的和扩展现有的创新和可持续的基础设施，招募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UAB和全国的学术领袖。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose a UAB K12 program in Patient Centered Outcomes Research to support 4 PCOR Scholars. It will build on the successes and experience of our current Health Services/ Comparative Effectiveness Research Training Program and Minority Health and 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) Comparison 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 30 Primary PCOR Mentors and 20 Associate Mentors. We have identified 17 prospective PCOR Scholar (5 minority) candidates. Training capacity is supported by our recently re-funded 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 2- 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 in PCOR 2) Provide career development support through individual and team mentoring, grant-development and grant submission support. 3) Provide intensive on-site and off-site didactic curriculum and multi-disciplinary training focused on PCOR with emphasis on health disparities and health systems 4) Foster a team-science approach and expand PCOR experience for training Scholars and other junior faculty 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, CER, and Health Disparities training programs. 6) Develop a panel of patient advocates and representatives of patient organizations, healthcare payers, and academic experts to advise our program on the training experience and assist with dissemination. A UAB K12 will allow us to build new and expand existing innovative and sustainable infrastructure for career development, to recruit and train individuals with significan potential to be highly successful PCOR researchers, and to mentor them toward becoming academic leaders at UAB and nationally.
