DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This initiative will create a formal, coordinated coalition of regional practice-based research networks called CoCoNet (the Coordinated Coalition of Networks) that will include a broad spectrum of practices, clinicians, and patients from 4 different parts of the country. CoCoNet will be able to take advantage of the close personal relationships and quality oversight possible within regional networks while conducting research that is generalizable to larger populations. Because of the similarities in processes (e.g. all 5 regional networks employ practice enhancement assistants) and prior research collaborations, CoCoNet will be capable of responding quickly to research and development opportunities offered by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and effective in translating research into practice through specific quality improvement processes embedded within regional learning communities. The new coalition will also include an independent Coordinating Center, Westat, with whom 4 of the regional networks have worked on at least one prior project. The involvement of a separate Coordinating Center will reduce the administrative burdens of principal investigators giving them more time to plan and conduct research. It will also make it possible, when desirable, to separate the intervention components from the data management and analysis functions on specific projects, reducing some forms of bias. Among the 4 academic health centers that are affiliated with the 5 regional networks and Westat, CoCoNet will have access to content and methodological experts in every possible field. The Principle investigator, who is one of the most respected practice-based researchers in the country, is well-prepared to direct CoCoNet, which, in many respects, is simply a more formal agreement, supported by infrastructure funding, between regional networks and Westat that has already existed informally for several years. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: CoCoNet will conduct high quality primary care research that is generalizable to the population of the United States. It will demonstrate the value of regional network coalitions and Coordinating Centers while further developing methods for translation of research into practice and practice into research within purposefully constructed learning communities.

描述（由申请人提供）：该计划将建立一个由区域实践的研究网络的正式协调联盟，称为Coconet（网络的协调联盟），其中包括广泛的实践，临床医生，临床医生和来自该国4个不同地区的患者。 Coconet将能够利用区域网络中可能的亲密人际关系和质量监督，同时进行较大人群的研究。由于流程的相似之处（例如，所有5个区域网络都采用实践增强助手）和先前的研究合作，因此Coconet将能够快速响应医疗机构提供的医疗保健研究机构提供的研发机会，并有效地通过嵌入了地区学习社区中的特定质量改进过程将研究转化为实践。新联盟还将包括一个独立的协调中心，韦斯特，与该地区的4个区域网络至少在一个先前的项目中合作。一个单独的协调中心的参与将减少主要调查人员的行政负担，这给他们更多时间计划和进行研究。在理想的情况下，这也将使干预组件与数据管理和分析功能分开，从而减少某些形式的偏见。在与5个区域网络和Westat相关的4个学术卫生中心中，Coconet将可以在每个可能的领域中获取内容和方法论专家。这位原则研究者是该国最受尊敬的实践研究人员之一，已经准备好指导Coconet，在许多方面，该地区只是一项更正式的协议，在区域网络和WestAT之间的基础设施资金支持下，已经非正式地存在了几年。 公共卫生相关性：Coconet将进行高质量的初级保健研究，该研究可推广到美国的人口。它将展示区域网络联盟和协调中心的价值，同时进一步开发将研究和实践转化为实践中的研究的方法，从而在有目的建造的学习社区内进行研究。
