Training and mentoring students, fellows and faculty
The COERE coordinates the umbrella Health Services, Outcomes, and Effectiveness Research (HSOER) training program at UAB, engaging trainees and program leaders from across campus. Our flagship training program, “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
In partnership with the UAB Health System, the COERE serves as the research arm of the UAB Learning Health System Research Initiative. The COERE leads a scientific and data gateway process, in collaboration with the UAB Informatics Institute and Center for Clinical and Translational Sciences. The “gateways” 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
The COERE provides a range of workshops and enrichment programs to meet the needs of outcomes research investigators spanning the career arc. The GRIT and LEAD 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. The COERE works-in-progress series offers an engaging format to discuss innovative outcomes research designs, methods, and analytic approaches in the context of ongoing studies led by UAB investigators. The annual COERE methods symposium highlights an area of topical methodological interest in the field, capped by the Kilgore Memorial Lectureship keynote address.
