• support impact-oriented career paths and elevate the career readiness of doctoral trainees and post-doctoral fellows studying hspr or related fields by supporting embedded research opportunities within health system and related organizations outside of the traditional university environment and enriched competency development (e.g., leadership, project management);
• expand and enrich the traditional doctoral and post-doctoral training environment by engaging health system and related organizations in preparing a cadre of promising doctoral trainees and post-doctoral fellows for impact-oriented careers in academic and applied health system settings; and
• provide health system and related organizations with direct opportunities to realize and harness the benefits that research-trained individuals can bring to such organizations for rapid learning, improvement and evidence-informed decision-making.
