For 34 years the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Pediatric Research in Office Settings (PROS) national primary care practice-based research network (RN) has conducted groundbreaking stakeholder-informed research that: 1) builds the evidence-base for primary care; 2) informs clinical policy (including practice guidelines); and 3) provides new resources and tools for practices and families. Practice based research is needed to address the unmet needs of children across the life course the changing epidemiology of pediatric disease and the remaining gaps in the evidence base for primary care. The capacity for responsive practice-based research has heightened importance in a time of rapid change due to COVID-19.
Goals and objectives:
PROS will 1) lead promote and coordinate national research to improve the physical health and well-being of children and adolescents; 2) maintain and augment a national RN infrastructure to support a portfolio of multi-site interdisciplinary research accelerate translation of research to policy and practice and provide a mentoring environment for trainees; 3) advance health equity by conducting research that addresses the needs of underserved and safety net populations; and 4) conduct timely and innovative research in pediatric primary care that addresses HRSA priorities. Proposed activities and target populations:
PROS will conduct multiple primary care intervention trials of national scope that address the needs of children including the underserved; maintain and innovate the research network building capacity for high impact implementation and dissemination of study findings; and help develop the next generation of leaders in practice-based research. Target populations include children from birth through adolescence their families pediatric clinicians policymakers and other stakeholders. Coordination:
PROS will continue to link expert researchers with our network of primary care pediatric clinicians. PROS will cultivate connections between pediatric clinicians researchers parents and stakeholders via in-person and virtual meetings. Dissemination and implementation of results will be maximized through linkage to AAP programs and communications. Products:
Products under this proposal include grant submissions externally funded large studies of national scope peer-reviewed publications and presentations tools for clinicians and other pediatric professionals and evidence to inform clinical policy. Evaluation:
Progress is monitored through the number and reach of products tracking of evaluation measures and regular reporting to MCHB.
