Econometrica Selected by AHRQ to Support PBRN Initiative
The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has awarded Econometrica a $1.2 million contract to support Primary Care Practice-Based Research Networks (PBRNs), an initiative led by AHRQ’s National Center for Excellence in Primary Care Research (NCEPCR). The Econometrica team, which includes Mathematica, will support AHRQ to develop and hold technical expert panel meetings to identify areas of need for PBRNs, update and automate the PBRN registry, develop and deliver webinars, and write a report and manuscript to summarize PBRN research and resources.
About PBRN and AHRQ
PBRNs draw upon the experience and insight of practicing clinicians to identity and frame research questions whose answers can improve the practice of primary care, producing research findings that are immediately relevant to the clinicians and, in theory, more easily assimilated into everyday practice. This contract supports AHRQ’s PBRN initiative that was initially developed in 2010 to improve the health of all Americans and encourage clinicians’ engagement in quality improvement activities.
