Curriculum Outline (draft)

Introduction to Services Research
Scientific and public health bases for services research
Understanding barriers and developing interventions to improve access
Individual, provider, organizational and systems level factors
Matching research methods to research questions and design

Access & Translational Research Models
Basic conceptual models regarding access (social: i.e. Anderson, Pescosolido; psychological: i.e. Planned Behavior; Cultural)
Addressing context (i.e. rural, urban)
Application of models and integrating them into research projects

Conceptualizing Across Systems
Salient differences among systems
- Social mandates, different aspects of social control
- Structures (i.e. hierarchical, dispersed)
- Varied roles for health activities
Conceptualizing interaction
- Intercepts, pass-off points, collaboration and integration
- Operationalizing concepts and variables
- Strategic research designs to create studies that build progressively

Funding
NIH Panel presentations and one-on-one technical assistance on current funding patterns priorities

Developing a Research Application
Small and large group sessions to critique and develop each participants’ research proposal, developing from the concept paper submitted with the workshop application

Participatory “Puzzle Groups”
Small groups each review a different de-identified, NIH-funded grant and produce a summary statement with comments on significance, approach, methods, innovation, data collection and analysis
Groups split and reassemble into new groups that use summary statements to prioritize “funding” based on reviews
Large group session where priorities are announced, discussed, defended
