Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Ideal candidates for this program are postdoctoral researchers with a background in health services or clinical research who are committed to advancing health equity.
✕Less likely to help
Patients who are not involved in research or do not have a vested interest in health services research may not directly benefit from this program.
What this research studies
The ACCELERATE program at Ohio State University focuses on training the next generation of health services researchers and clinician researchers. Each year, four postdoctoral trainees will be selected to participate in a two-year program that combines individualized mentoring with hands-on training in health services and health systems research. The program emphasizes diversity and inclusion, aiming to equip trainees with the skills necessary to conduct impactful research and improve health equity. Trainees will also have opportunities to present their findings at national conferences and publish their work.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research program could lead to improved health services and systems, ultimately benefiting patient care and health outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: While training programs in health services research are common, the specific approach of this program focusing on diversity and individualized mentoring is relatively novel.
