About Us
Practice-based research networks (PBRNs) engage in numerous ways with health care providers and other members of health care organizations. This engagement can be described along a continuum:
- Level 1. Philosophical agreement on and support for the importance of research to the improvement of care
- Level 2. Awareness of research opportunities, identifying potential participants and referring appropriate people to specific studies
- Level 3. Collecting and interpreting data
- Level 4. Writing proposals and manuscripts, analyzing data, and conducting or managing a study
