Grant Title: Developing Health Services Research at TSU and MMC
Grant Number: R24 HS14767-01
Project Description: This project builds on the progress made during three years of previous funding under this program and expands the M-RISP activities to more effectively train and mentor junior investigators at Tennessee State University (TSU) and Meharry Medical College (MMC) to publish research and to compete for independent research grants in the area of health care quality and services. The grant:
- Supports the development of an administrative structure to support collaborative healthcare quality research at TSU and MMC.
- Institutes a structured program of research support and training in health services research for junior faculty and for students associated with the Center (including substantive health services topics, such as research design, data collection, data analysis, writing manuscripts, and writing grant applications).
- Provides and expands existing databases at TSU's Center for Health Research for use by junior investigators to conduct research projects and develop new fundable research applications.
Three small research projects are:
- An examination of health disparities in the treatment and outcome of acute myocardial infarctions among Tennessee Medicare elderly.
- The utilization and provision of clinical preventive services among children enrolled in the TennCare program.
- The effect of race on colorectal cancer survival: An analysis of top-ranked teaching hospitals.
