AHRQ and PCORI invite applications from qualified institutions to create Learning Health System Embedded Scientist Training and Research (LHS E-STaR) Centers to support the professional development of scientists to conduct research that accelerates progress towards an integrated learning health system.
To
achieve this aim, the E-STaR Centers will build new models of LHS infrastructure that:
strengthens institutional research training in CER and PCOR; enhances diversity in the LHS research workforce; strengthens partnerships with community partners and health system and other stakeholders; and conducts patient-centered clinical comparative effectiveness research projects to improve health system operations, quality, and health outcomes.
