Position Title/Short Description

Full Text of JOE Listing:

There are two T32 Research Training programs at UC Davis Center for Healthcare Policy and Research (CHPR); The Quality, Safety, and Comparative Effectiveness Research Training (QSCERT) and The Quality, Safety, and Comparative Effectiveness Research Training in Primary Care (QSCERT-PC). These are multidisciplinary, postdoctoral training programs in quality, safety and comparative effectiveness research with an emphasis on training future leaders in surgical, trauma, and urgent/emergency care and primary care outcomes research. T32 grants are institutional training grants to support promising researchers who have completed a doctoral-level degree but are not yet ready for faculty appointment. This is postdoctoral fellowship training (MD residents/fellows or PhD scholars). UC Davis CHPR currently has T32 programs supported by funding from the Agency for Healthcare Quality and Research (AHRQ) and the Health Research Services Administration (HRSA). There are 3 open spots on the AHRQ funding starting 7/1/2017 and 5 open spots on the HRSA funding during the current year 7/1/2016-6/30/2017. A rolling application process is in place until all spots are filled.

Scholars will participate in a two-year training course and will be selected based on a competitive application process in which academic qualifications, career goals, and the quality of the training environment will be important considerations for funding.

In addition to the required CER core curriculum and career development components, scholars will choose one of three different training tracks. Each track is founded on the scholar’s prior experience and training (e.g., MD vs. PhD) and individual learning needs, and has its own requirements.
