DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Funds are being requested for both categories, category I (infrastructure support) and category II (pilot project) by the Division of Research, Department of Family & Community Medicine (DORFAM) of the Texas A&M University System Health Science Center (TAMUSHSC) College of Medicine (COM), which was created in recognition of the need for well-conducted research to generate evidence-based data in family practice. Housed at the Scott & White Santa Fe Center Century Square building on the Temple Campus of the COM, DORFAM coordinates all research activities of the department and the Scott & White Healthcare System's 18 regional clinics. To expand primary care activities and enhance translational research in the Central Texas region, DORFAM is leading this application to develop a primary care practice-based research network. The proposed Central Texas Primary Care Research Network (CenTexNet) will initially comprise practices in all 18 regional clinics of Scott & White, the Family Medical Center of the Brazos Valley Family Practice Residency in Bryan, Texas, the Family Practice Residency Clinic in Waco, Texas, and three other clinics serving mostly the uninsured, the homeless, and the indigent population of Temple, Killeen, and surrounding communities. Over time, membership to the network will be extended to other similar practices in the region, including private primary care offices. A proposed network director, along with an internal planning committee to be formed through expanding DORFAM's current research advisory committee, and external consultants will be responsible for planning, directing, and executing the proposed network's development and subsequent activities. The proposed network will be supported by a financially secure core administrative staff, as well as the currently highly developed infrastructure existing on site, including a unified electronic medical records system, other computer-based systems, and the increasingly sophisticated financial data analysis capabilities. The Center for Primary Care Research within AHRQ will serve as the coordinating center to facilitate idea sharing and collaboration with other networks. The proposed developing network will focus on forming a network and implementing pilot project activities in the following areas: a) expand the numbers and types of clinicians and practices in the network to include family practice residents; b) develop electronic collection and aggregation of practice-derived data from network practices; and c) identify potential sources of network support to facilitate the conduct of research with a focus on preventive care, the health care of racial and ethnic minority and underserved populations, and development of systems to enhance patient safety and reduce medical errors, as well as facilitate implementation of translational research among network physicians.

描述（申请人提供）：目前正在为这两个类别申请资金，（基础设施支助）和第二类德克萨斯A&M大学系统健康科学中心家庭与社区医学系（DORFAM）研究部（试点项目）（TAMUSHSC）医学院（COM），这是在认识到需要进行良好的研究，以产生基于证据的数据，在家庭实践中创建。 DORFAM位于COM Temple Campus的Scott &白色圣达菲中心世纪广场大楼内，负责协调该部门和Scott &白色医疗保健系统18个区域诊所的所有研究活动。 为了扩大初级保健活动，并加强在得克萨斯州中部地区的转化研究，DORFAM正在领导这一应用程序，以开发一个基于初级保健实践的研究网络。 拟议的德克萨斯州中部初级保健研究网络（CentTexNet）最初将包括斯科特和白色的所有18个区域诊所的做法，德克萨斯州布莱恩的Brazos Valley家庭实践住院医师的家庭医疗中心，德克萨斯州韦科的家庭实践住院医师诊所，以及其他三个诊所，主要服务于没有保险的人，无家可归者和坦普尔，基林和周边社区的贫困人口。 随着时间的推移，该网络的成员资格将扩大到该区域的其他类似做法，包括私营初级保健办公室。拟议的网络总监、沿着通过扩大DORFAM当前研究咨询委员会组建的内部规划委员会以及外部顾问将负责规划、指导和执行拟议网络的开发和后续活动。 拟议的网络将得到财务上有保障的核心行政人员以及现场现有的高度发达的基础设施的支持，包括统一的电子医疗记录系统、其他计算机系统和日益复杂的财务数据分析能力。AHRQ内的初级保健研究中心将作为协调中心，促进与其他网络的想法分享和合作。 拟议的发展中网络将侧重于在以下领域建立一个网络和实施试点项目活动：a）扩大网络中临床医生和实践的数量和类型，以包括家庭实践居民; B）发展从网络实践中获得的实践数据的电子收集和汇总;（c）确定网络支助的潜在来源，以促进开展研究，重点是预防保健、少数种族和族裔以及得不到充分服务的人口的保健，和系统的开发，以提高病人的安全和减少医疗错误，以及促进网络医生之间的转化研究的实施。
