PBRNs are groups of primary care clinicians and practices working together to answer community-based health care questions and translate research findings into practice. PBRNs engage clinicians in quality improvement activities and an evidence-based culture in primary care practice to improve the health of all Americans.
AHRQ provides PBRNs with grant funding and supports PBRNs through a national resource center, an annual national conference, peer learning groups, an electronic PBRN search repository, public and private listservs, and a dedicated private community portal. See About for more information on AHRQ and PBRNs and the History of PBRNs.
AHRQ invites all interested primary care networks to register with the AHRQ PBRN Resource Center (PBRN RC). The PBRN RC provides resources and assistance to Primary Care PBRNs engaged in clinical and health services research. PBRN RC provides support to registered PBRNs through various methods such as by leading a series of web-based seminars and offering technical assistance in research methodology and PBRN organization and development.
