AAFP National Research Network

The AAFP National Research Network (AAFP NRN) is a nationwide practice-based research network with over 2200 primary care clinician members, in 600 offices. Membership is made up of individuals, residencies, electronic data systems, and collaborative care clinicians representing 49 U.S states and 4 Canadian provinces.

The AAFP NRN is a voluntary research association of primary care physicians and regional practice-based research networks who collaborate on studies to describe and improve upon the phenomenon of primary care practice.
