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培养积极和独立的调查员，他们推动卫生服务研究领域的发展，并为改善我们的卫生保健系统的功能提供关键证据。我们要求继续我们先前资助的4个博士前培训名额和2个博士后培训名额，这些名额自2008年首次授予以来已经100%填补。该项目将设在耶鲁大学公共卫生学院（YSPH）卫生政策与管理系（HPM）。来自耶鲁大学医学院、耶鲁大学护理学院和耶鲁大学文理研究生院的32名教职员工将参与其中。博士预科生将从YGSAS获得博士学位。博士预科学员完成2年的课程后才能发表博士论文；必修课程包括卫生服务研究、统计和方法，以及一个深入的领域。深入的领域包括1)政治与政策分析，2)经济理论与应用，以及3)组织理论与管理。学员还完成综合阅读课程，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（根据具体情况，时间和地点会有所不同），在此期间，学员将熟悉那些将学员的研究传播和转化为实践和政策的机构。TRIPP经验是与学员、指导老师和机构/组织合作规划的，旨在与学员的研究相关，并随后在实践和政策中使用该研究。完成博士或医学博士教育的博士后学员，将根据之前的大量研究培训和与正在进行的教师项目一致的研究目标进行选择。博士后培训的典型期限为2年，重点是指导研究。博士后培训将

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.
