Yale Training Program in Health Services Research

描述（由申请人提供）：我们的培训计划的目标是发展积极和独立的调查人员谁推进卫生服务研究领域，并为改善我们的医疗保健系统的功能提供关键证据。我们要求继续我们以前资助的4个博士前培训名额和2个博士后培训名额，自2008年首次授予以来，这些名额已100%填补。该计划将设在卫生政策和管理（HPM）在耶鲁大学公共卫生学院（YSPH）的司。共有32名教师将参与YSPH，耶鲁大学医学院，耶鲁大学护理学院和耶鲁大学艺术与科学研究生院。博士预科生从YGSAS获得博士学位。博士前学员完成2年的课程之前，他们的论文;必修课程是在卫生服务的研究，统计和方法，以及一个领域的深度。深度领域包括1）政治和政策分析，2）经济理论和应用，3）组织理论和管理。学员还完成了综合阅读课程，作为课程的顶点，并参加所需的多学科研讨会。我们还包括将研究转化为实践和政策（TRIPP）的经验，这是一个4-6周的时间承诺（这将在个别情况下适当的时间和位置有所不同），学员熟悉的机构和机构是中央的传播和学员的研究转化为实践和政策。TRIPP的经验是与学员，教师顾问和机构/组织合作计划，旨在与学员的研究和随后在实践和政策中使用该研究有关。博士后学员，谁已经完成博士或医学博士教育，将根据大量以前的研究培训和研究目标与正在进行的教师项目相一致的选择。博士后培训的典型持续时间为2年，重点是指导研究。博士后培养将 包括100%的努力;博士后学员将在大学没有其他分配的职责。YSPH的HPM部门拥有5名终身教授和6名健康服务研究的副教授和助理教授，今年正在寻找2名额外的教师。我们的教师是多学科的;我们在指导博士前和博士后学员方面表现出出色的生产力，我们致力于为政策和实践提供应用证据。我们资助的研究项目跨越AHRQ优先领域，并有大量的翻译组件，使耶鲁大学成为AHRQ国家研究服务奖机构研究培训计划在卫生服务研究的理想地点。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of our training program is to develop active and independent investigators who advance the field of health services research and provide critical evidence for improving the functioning of our health care system. We request continuation of our previously funded 4 pre-doctoral training slots and 2 post-doctoral training slots, which have been 100% filled since the initial award in 2008. The program will be located in the Division of Health Policy and Management (HPM) in the Yale School of Public Health (YSPH). A total of 32 faculty members will be involved from YSPH, Yale School of Medicine, Yale School of Nursing, and Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. Pre-doctoral trainees receive their PhDs from YGSAS. Pre-doctoral trainees complete 2 years of courses prior to their dissertations; required courses are in health services research, statistics and methods, and an area of depth. The areas of depth include 1) political and policy analysis, 2) economic theory and application, and 3) organization theory and management. Trainees also complete an integrative readings course as a capstone to the curriculum and participate in the required multidisciplinary seminar. We also include a Translating Research into Practice and Policy (TRIPP) experience, which is a 4-6 week time commitment (which will vary in time and placement as appropriate in individual cases) in which trainees become familiar with institutions and agencies that are central to the dissemination and translation of the trainee's research into practice and policy. The TRIPP experience is planned collaboratively with the trainee, faculty advisor, and agency/organization and is designed to be pertinent to the trainees' research and subsequent use of that research in practice and policy. Post-doctoral trainees, who have completed PhD or MD education, will be selected based on substantial previous research training and research goals consistent with ongoing faculty projects. The typical duration of the post-doctoral training is 2 years, with the focus on mentored research. Post-doctoral training will encompass 100% of their effort; post-doctoral trainees will have no other assigned duties at the University. The HPM division at YSPH has 5 tenured professors and 6 associate and assistant professors in health services research, and is searching for 2 additional faculty this year. Our faculty is multidisciplinary; we have demonstrated outstanding productivity in mentoring pre-doctoral and post-doctoral trainees, and we are committed to producing applied evidence for policy and practice. Our funded research projects span AHRQ priority areas and have substantial translation components, making Yale an ideal location for AHRQ National Research Service Award Institutional Research Training program in health services research.
