Type: Online Modules

Level: Intermediate

Description: Community health centers that serve our most vulnerable populations play an important role in improving the health of communities. The potential for their role in the research enterprise and in translating evidence into practice is enormous. But, they often lack the infrastructure, resources, and time necessary to effectively lead or collaborate in research. This toolkit is designed to provide clinical and administrative staff at Community Health Centers with the elements involved in building a primary care research infrastructure. Organized into eight stand-alone modules, health center clinicians and staff will find information on the following:

  1. Introduction to Quality Improvement and Research Module 1 slides [PDF].
  2. Building Primary Care Research Infrastructure Module 2 slides [PDF].
  3. Data: Access and Utilization Module 3 slides [PDF].
  4. Study Design and Methods Overview Module 4 slides [PDF].
  5. Dissemination and Action Module 5 slides [PDF].
  6. Funding Your Research Module 6 slides [PDF].
  7. Partnerships for Research Module 7 slides [PDF].
  8. Ethics and the Institutional Review Board Module 8 slides [PDF].
