Family Medicine
Practice-Based
Research Network

The overall mission of the UMMS
Family Medicine Practice-Based
Research Network is to facilitate
and promote primary care research
that aims to advance knowledge
about health and healthcare  
relevant to providing our patients
higher quality, safer, and more
accessible preventive, diagnostic,
and treatment services.

Established in 2007, the PBRN is
the internal infrastructure for the
development of community-based 
primary care practice research
activity.  The steering committee,
comprised of department staff
and over 30 members
representing community health
center and academic group
practice primary care clinicians,
is the central decision-making
body.

The PBRN is a member of the 
Agency for Healthcare Research
and Quality PBRN Resource
Network
