The Northwestern University Patient-Centered Intervention and Engagement Training (NU-PATIENT) Faculty Scholars Training Program was an AHRQ-funded career development training grant designed to support the early research career development of junior faculty in comparative effectiveness and patient-centered outcomes research.
Scholars were supported in a rich training environment, including a mentoring team (primary mentor, co-mentor and patient adviser) and four training cores built around existing centers of the Institute for Public Health and Medicine, Northwestern University Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute and the IPR Q-Center:
- Stakeholder partnership, health equity and dissemination planning
- Comparative effectiveness methodologies
- Engineering and technology in healthcare
- Pathways to scientific independence
