DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The EMMES Corporation has partnered with New York University College of Dentistry (NYUCD) to establish the Practitioners Engaged in Applied Research and Learning (PEARL) Network, which will organize, train, and facilitate a network of dental practitioners to conduct research of immediate relevance to dentists and their patients nationwide. Studies supervised by PEARL will test specific strategies for the prevention, management, and treatment of multiple oral conditions, augmenting the knowledge base for clinical decision-making. PEARL participants also will conduct anonymous chart reviews for collecting and disseminating data on disease and treatment trends and to obtain prevalence estimates of less common conditions. To achieve this aim, the PEARL Network has organized four interactive cores, each of which includes an EMMES staff member as an Assistant Director, and will focus on the performance of key functions: (1) a Recruitment, Retention, Operations Core (2) a Training and Certification Core (3) a Protocol Development Core (4) an Information Dissemination Core. As the PEARL Coordinating Center, The EMMES Corporation will provide statistical and epidemiologic expertise in study design, execution and reporting, establish a web-based data management/information dissemination system, insure an appropriate quality assurance program is implemented, sub-contract with the Biomedical Research Alliance of New York (BRANY) central IRB, and provide administrative support for DSMB meetings, medical monitoring and regulatory support as needed. The PEARL Network will benefit from key resources already established through NYUCD: (1) an on-site team of experienced investigators, communication experts, and a strong quality assurance group partnered with senior academic and industry advisors; (2) a highly supportive environment at the NYUCD, including the facilities and staff of the Bluestone Center for Clinical Research, the Masters program in Clinical Research, excellent press access, award winning communications vehicles; and the Rosenthal Institute of Continuing Education; (3) a partnership with the Levin Group, the largest dental practice-management consulting firm; (4) practitioner partnerships reaching thousands of dentists through the Academy of General Dentistry, MetLife, the Scottish Dental PBRN, Health Partners, and Kaiser Permanente; (5) collaborations with distinguished researchers; (6) an External Advisory Board of experienced members of medical and dental PBRNs; and (7) a web-based P-I application established by EMMES and NYUCD in May 2004 with over 150 interested dentists identified. In summary, the PEARL Network is uniquely positioned to establish and maintain a PBRN that will conduct research studies designed to positively impact oral health.

描述（由申请人提供）：EMMES 公司与纽约大学牙科学院 (NYUCD) 合作建立了从事应用研究和学习的从业者 (PEARL) 网络，该网络将组织、培训和促进牙科从业者网络开展与全国牙医及其患者直接相关的研究。 PEARL 监督的研究将测试预防、管理和治疗多种口腔疾病的具体策略，从而丰富临床决策的知识基础。 PEARL 参与者还将进行匿名图表审查，以收集和传播有关疾病和治疗趋势的数据，并获得不太常见疾病的患病率估计。为了实现这一目标，PEARL Network 组织了四个互动核心，每个核心包括一名 EMMES 工作人员作为助理主任，并将重点关注关键职能的履行：(1) 招聘、保留、运营核心 (2)培训和认证核心 (3) 协议开发核心 (4) 信息传播核心。作为 PEARL 协调中心，EMMES 公司将提供研究设计、执行和报告方面的统计和流行病学专业知识，建立基于网络的数据管理/信息传播系统，确保实施适当的质量保证计划，与生物医学中心分包纽约研究联盟 (BRANY) 中央 IRB，并根据需要为 DSMB 会议、医疗监测和监管支持提供行政支持。 PEARL Network 将受益​​于 NYUCD 已建立的关键资源：(1) 由经验丰富的调查人员、传播专家组成的现场团队，以及与高级学术和行业顾问合作的强大质量保证小组； (2) NYUCD 高度支持的环境，包括 Bluestone 中心的设施和工作人员 对于临床研究，临床研究硕士课程、出色的媒体访问、屡获殊荣的通讯工具；和罗森塔尔继续教育学院； (3) 与最大的牙科诊所管理咨询公司 Levin Group 建立合作伙伴关系； (4) 从业者伙伴关系覆盖数千名牙医 通过普通牙科学院、MetLife、苏格兰牙科 PBRN、Health Partners 和 Kaiser Permanente； (5) 与杰出研究人员的合作； (6) 由经验丰富的医疗和牙科 PBRN 成员组成的外部顾问委员会； (7) EMMES 和 NYUCD 于 2004 年 5 月建立了基于网络的 P-I 应用程序，并确定了超过 150 名感兴趣的牙医。总之，PEARL 网络在建立和维护 PBRN 方面具有独特的优势，该 PBRN 将开展旨在积极影响口腔健康的研究。
