PRIME Net Center in Practice-based Research and Learning

描述(由申请人提供)：Metronet，底特律大都会实践研究网络(PBRN)代表底特律初级保健多种族网络(Prime Net)提交本建议书，Prime Net(初级保健多种族网络)是一个由8个经验丰富和富有成效的PBRN组成的成熟和富有成效的联盟，共同致力于改善传统上代表性较低和往往服务不足的人群的临床护理和健康结果。Prime Net成员是：科罗拉多州的CareNet、洛杉矶的LA Net、底特律的Metronet、新墨西哥州的Rios Net、东南部11个州的SERCN、加利福尼亚州北部的SF Bay CRN、俄亥俄州西南部的Soar Net和休斯顿的Sur-Net。这项合作包括我们成员2000名临床医生的极大多样性，他们为全国300多万患者提供服务。这些临床医生的研究工作得到了一大批经验丰富的研究人员的支持，他们在初级保健、质量改进、研究设计和分析、社区参与和参与性方法方面具有广泛的专业知识。自2004年成立以来，Prime Net在成功提供外部资金、自我评估和反思以及传播研究结果方面建立了良好的记录。我们现在建议进一步发展支持这项工作的基础设施。这项提议的目标是整合创新的研究基础设施，以推动 在快速变化的环境中进行健康差距研究和实践的科学基础。我们将通过能力建设的目标来实现这一目标，通过创建一个协调中心来加速Prime Net研究活动和将新知识应用于临床实践。我们将实现以下具体目标：目标1：在Prime Net联盟的经验和基础设施的基础上，创建“Prime Net实践型研究和学习中心”。 目标2：创建Prime Net中心研究核心，以扩大其PBRN调查人员队伍，并进一步改进研究设计和流程，以快速制定提案 目标3：扩大Prime Net与创新学习社区的合作。 公共卫生关注度：

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): MetroNet, the Metropolitan Detroit practice-based research network (PBRN) submits this proposal on behalf of the of PRIME Net (Primary Care MultiEthnic Network), an established and productive consortium of 8 experienced and productive PBRNs with a shared commitment to improving clinical care and health outcomes in traditionally underrepresented and often underserved populations. PRIME Net members are: CaReNet in Colorado, LA Net in Los Angeles, MetroNet in Detroit, RIOS Net in New Mexico, SERCN in 11 Southeastern states, SF Bay CRN in northern California, SOAR Net in Southwest Ohio, and SPUR-Net in Houston. The collaborative includes great diversity in our member 2000 clinicians who serve over 3 million patients across the country. The research efforts of these clinicians are supported by a large number of experienced researchers with a range of expertise in primary care, quality improvement, research design and analysis, and community engagement and participatory methodologies. Since its founding in 2004, PRIME Net has established a track record of successful external funding, self assessment and reflection, and dissemination of study findings. We now propose to further develop the infrastructure supporting this work. The goal of this proposal is to integrate innovative research infrastructures to advance the scientific base for health disparities research and practice in a rapidly changing environment. We will achieve this goal via the objective to build capacity by creating a coordinating center that accelerates PRIME Net research activities and the implementation of new knowledge into clinical practice. We will achieve the following specific aims: Aim 1: Create the "PRIME Net Center of Practice-based Research and Learning", building on PRIME Net consortium experience and infrastructure. Aim 2: Create a PRIME Net Center Research Core to expand its cadre of PBRN investigators, and to further enhance study designs and processes for rapid proposal development Aim 3: Expand PRIME Net collaborations with innovative learning communities.
