The Chicago-area Pediatric Practice Research Group (PPRG) is a 16 year old regional pediatric practice-based research network (PBRN) based at Children's Memorial Medical Center (CMMC). It has participated in 38 studies, received funding from NIH, AHCPR and NIHM; and published 39 papers. It has accomplished this with a minimal infrastructure and inconsistent funding. PPRG will begin a process of improving its stability by accomplishing 4 planning aims: 1) Evaluate current data collection capabilities at PPRG practices. We will: inventory practice management software and report-writing capabilities; develop options for collecting and aggregating data; develop plans to assure high data quality and patient confidentiality; and estimate costs. 2) Expand the involvement of practices serving minority and poverty populations. We will: assess the need to update demographics information on PPRG practices; incorporate into the PPRG a large group of pediatric practices in low income, minority Chicago communities; and develop new mechanisms to enhance data collection and data quality. 3) Develop approaches to effectively introduce new knowledge into practice settings, and to assess their incorporation. We will: inventory and assess past and current member practice approaches to bringing new knowledge to the bedside; identify emerging computer-based options for routinizing, tracking and evaluating this; identify approaches that the PPRG can foster; and estimate related costs. 4) Design a 5-fear plan for assuring predictable funding for the PPRG. We will: work with CMMC fundraising arms to develop a business plan for core funding; inventory potential institutional and regional philanthropic funding sources; explore how these can best be tapped. Topic-specific funding development will focus on Healthy People 2010 priorities in which the PPRG, has a track record: nutrition, obesity, injury, and violence prevention, mental health, and environmental health. The planning work will be guided by a Planning Advisory Board that includes investigators, clinicians, and consultants with expertise relevant to these aims. The work will be led by the founder and former Director of the PPRG. With the achievement of these aims, the PPRG will be prepared to expand critical aspects of its research, particularly related to sample representatives, identification, and tracking; and data gathering.

芝加哥地区儿科实践研究小组（PPRG）是一个16岁的区域儿科实践为基础的研究网络（PBRN）基于儿童纪念医疗中心（CMMC）。它参与了38项研究，获得了NIH， AHCPR和NIHM的资助；发表论文39篇。它以最低限度的基础设施和不稳定的资金实现了这一目标。PPRG将开始通过完成4个计划目标来提高其稳定性的过程：1)评估PPRG实践中当前的数据收集能力。我们将：实践库存管理软件和报告撰写能力；制定收集和汇总数据的备选办法；制定计划，确保高数据质量和患者保密；估算成本。2)扩大为少数民族和贫困人口服务的活动。我们将：评估更新关于PPRG做法的人口统计信息的必要性；将芝加哥低收入、少数族裔社区的大量儿科实践纳入PPRG；建立新的机制来提高数据收集和数据质量。3)开发有效地将新知识引入实践环境的方法，并评估其结合情况。我们将：盘点和评估过去和现在的成员实践方法，将新知识带到床边；确定新出现的以计算机为基础的常规、跟踪和评估方案；确定PPRG可以促进的方法；并估算相关成本。4)设计一个5-fear计划，以确保PPRG的可预测资金。我们将：与CMMC筹款部门合作，为核心融资制定商业计划；清点潜在的机构和区域慈善资金来源；探索如何最好地利用这些资源。特定主题的供资发展将侧重于2010年健康人优先事项，这些优先事项是PPRG有记录的：营养、肥胖、伤害和暴力预防、精神卫生和环境卫生。规划工作将由规划咨询委员会指导，该委员会包括调查员、临床医生和具有与这些目标相关专业知识的顾问。这项工作将由PPRG的创始人和前任主任领导。随着这些目标的实现，PPRG将准备扩大其研究的关键方面，特别是与样本代表、鉴定和跟踪有关的方面；数据收集。
