The Practice-Based Research Program fosters collaborative research between community-based practitioners and Northwestern University full-time faculty. The program provides assistance and coordinates activities across Northwestern's three primary care, practice-based research networks: The Pediatric Practice Research Group (PPRG), directed by faculty at Children’s Memorial Hospital, the Research and Education for Academic Achievement (REACH) Network, directed by Chicago campus faculty in the Feinberg School of Medicine Division of General Internal Medicine and by Evanston Northwestern Healthcare Network faculty in the Department of Family Medicine. The purpose of the PPRG Seed Grant Initiative is to promote research in PPRG-affiliated practices. The seed grants are to facilitate the gathering of pilot data needed for larger, externally funded projects. This process will help build and establish research relationships among Northwestern University faculty and community clinicians. To access the complete guidelines, click the link above.
