PRIME Net Center in Practice-based Research and Learning

描述（由申请人提供）：MetroNet，大都会底特律实践研究网络（PBRN）代表PRIME Net（初级保健多种族网络）提交本提案，PRIME Net是一个由8个经验丰富且富有成效的PBRN组成的成熟且富有成效的联盟，共同致力于改善传统上代表性不足和服务不足的人群的临床护理和健康结果。PRIME网络成员包括：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、加州北部的SF Bay CRN、俄亥俄州西南部的SOAR Net和休斯顿的马刺网。该合作包括我们的2000名临床医生成员，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大量经验丰富的研究人员的支持，这些研究人员在初级保健、质量改进、研究设计和分析以及社区参与和参与式方法方面具有广泛的专业知识。自2004年成立以来，PRIME Net在外部资助、自我评估和反思以及研究成果的传播方面取得了成功。我们现在建议进一步发展支持这项工作的基础设施。本提案的目标是整合创新研究基础设施以推进

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.
