UAB Center for Outcomes and Effectiveness Research and Education image of interlocking gears

The UAB COERE cultivates a community of interdisciplinary health services, outcomes and effectiveness investigators.

The UAB COERE supports the training and conduct of rigorous person-centered outcomes research, spanning health system, community, and population health settings. By offering training and enrichment programs, and facilitating networking and collaboration, the UAB COERE aspires to accelerate the generation of knowledge and enhance the impact of our member’s scientific discoveries on the health of the individuals, communities and populations we serve.

Training and mentoring students, and fellows

Training and mentoring students, and fellows

The COERE education and training programs are anchored by an Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) National Research Training Award (T32), continuously funded since 2003 and called UAB Health Services Research Training Program. This full-time multidisciplinary mentored research training program supports postdoctoral fellows and predoctoral trainees in health services research and is led by Program Directors Mike Mugavero, MD, MHSc, and Emily Levitan, ScD. Our research and training base includes mentors and trainees across UAB Schools including Business, Dentistry, Health Professions, Medicine, Nursing, Public Health, and the College of Arts and Science. Our flagship seminar series, “Friday Fellows” (EPI 690), includes research methods, career development, and works-in-progress sessions geared towards pre- and post-doctoral scholars, and early stage investigators interested in health services, outcomes, and population health research.

UAB Learning Health System Research Initiative

UAB Learning Health System Research Initiative

In partnership with the UAB Health System, the COERE serves as the research arm of the UAB Learning Health System. The COERE leads an LHS Incubator and Data Extraction, Transformation, and Analysis (ETA) gateway process, in collaboration with the UAB Informatics Institute and Center for Clinical and Translational Science. The Incubator and ETA Gateway provide a structured process to hone investigator-initiated health system related research proposals and generate study-specific, analysis-ready health systems datasets via an integrated data extraction and transformation process.

Enrichment Programs

Enrichment Programs

The COERE provides a range of enrichment programs to meet the needs of outcomes research investigators spanning the career arc. The GRIT and CARES at UAB programs use a cohort model to build community and facilitate the preparation of competitive extramural grants and acquisition of leadership and team science skills, respectively. DRIVEN seeks to cultivate a community of interdisciplinary clinical and translational investigators and promote their individual and collective professional development, recognition, and advancement to foster an inclusive, equitable and diverse research workforce. GEARs is a dynamic monthly session to discuss and present new, evolving, or upcoming and planned projects or proposals within and adjacent to the COERE. The annual COERE Methods Symposium highlights an area of topical methodological interest in the field, capped by the Kilgore Memorial Lectureship keynote address. The Office of Research Synthesis provides consultative advice, training, and support for researchers at all levels interested in conducting literature reviews, systematic reviews, and/or meta-analyses.
