Federation of Practice Based Research Networks
The Federation of Practice-Based Research Networks (FPBRN), established in November 1997, promotes the growth and development of clinical investigation in practice settings in primary care medicine. The FPBRN:
- Advocates for practice-based research;
- Builds capacity for practice-based research; and
- Fosters collaboration and communication among networks.
The FPBRN helps new networks gain a foothold in the research community, and supports established networks in their current work and evolution. The organization serves as a communication link for networks, both inside and outside the United States, to foster scientific and organizational collaboration. It advances practice-based research methods. The FPBRN provides a common voice for networks at the national level - within our professional societies and governmental agencies - to increase support for practice-based research.
As part of this mission, the FPBRN has developed an inventory of networks in the United States and internationally - both family medicine networks and those involving other primary care clinicians. While not inclusive of every practice-based research network now existing, the inventory showcases the scope and richness of clinical investigation in primary care, and the diversity of organizations pursuing it. The inventory is divided into Federation members (voting), U.S. Affiliates, and International Affiliates. We include selected accomplishments of each network, and a sample of their current and planned research activities.
