| Funding Source: |
AHRQ |
| Synopsis: |
This program will fund NYU School of Medicine to train 4 post-graduate scholars for 3 years in "Comparative Effectiveness Research" (the right treatment for the right person at the right time). The training program will focus on areas where there is a particular shortage of training opportunities right now: a patient focus on the urban underserved, a content focus on conditions for which better decisions could significantly lower morbidity and mortality, and a method focus on research that has immediate applications to decision making.

CHARN (Central Data Management Coordination Center: Building Effectiveness Research Capacity through a Health Center Network) |
| Project Period: |
09/2010 - 08/2013 |
| Funding Source: |
AHRQ |
| Synopsis: |
The proposed project is based on a long-standing community-research collaboration between several community based organizations that serve primarily medically under-served Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders populations. This project will build upon existing enabling service data collection and electronic health information exchange in currently funded projects to conduct a C.E.R. capacity needs assessment, design and implement a C.E.R. training curriculum, design and conduct a C.E.R. pilot study focusing on effective enabling service strategies for improving diabetes, develop a C.E.R. electronic data warehouse, and conduct a process evaluation.
