Expanding National Capacity in PCOR through Training (ENACT) Program
The ENACT Program is now taking applications for its online course entitled Fundamentals of Patient Centered Comparative Effectiveness Research (PC-CER), beginning January 15, 2015.
The goal of this training is to deliver innovative online modules on Patient Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR) methods to NIH-funded Research Centers in Minority Institutions (RCMIs). The training will provide synchronous and asynchronous distance learning activities, peer-to-peer learning, and meaningful interactions with scientists, methodologists, and biostatisticians.
Trainees will:
- Complete 4 months of weekly classes, attend virtual peer learning sessions, and participate in live sessions and asynchronous learning activities
- Develop a PCOR research question in their own area of interest and expand it into a 3-5 page proposal by the end of the course
Applicants should:
- Be graduate students, residents, fellows, junior faculty, or mid-level senior faculty without PCOR training
- Have a strong interest in conducting PCOR/ CER research in their careers
- Have completed a basic biostatistics and a research methods course as pre-requisites
Applicants who successfully complete this course will be eligible to apply for an advanced training course beginning spring 2016.
In order to apply, applicants need to complete our online application.
