“…The Family Medicine for America's Health initiative recently launched by the major US family medicine organizations calls for linking every patient with a "personal" PCP and medical home and broad adoption of "comprehensive" payment models for primary care that move away from pure fee-for-service and include a component of capitation. 7 Among the benefits of such payment reform would be strengthening processes for formal empanelment of patients to medical homes.…”

“…This disciplinewide campaign engages patients, payers, and policymakers, and it advocates for an alignment of efforts in clinical practice, education, and research arenas to support the triple aim. 21 As pragmatic organizations, PBRNs adapt to changes in federal and national funding priorities. AHRQ's special emphasis notice, Innovative Research in Primary Care (http://grants.nih.gov/ grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-HS-16-011.html), calls for research that addresses the primary care delivery model, including the development of new tools, methods, and training that support primary care improvement.…”

Practice-based Research Networks (PBRNs) Bridging the Gaps between Communities, Funders, and Policymakers

et al. 2016

In this commentary, we propose that practice-based research networks (PBRNs) engage with funders and policymakers by applying the same engagement strategies they have successfully used to build relationships with community stakeholders. A community engagement approach to achieve new funding streams for PBRNs should include a strategy to engage key stakeholders from the communities of funders, thought leaders, and policymakers using collaborative principles and methods. PBRNs that implement this strategy would build a robust network of engaged partners at the community level, across networks, and would reach state and federal policymakers, academic family medicine departments, funding bodies, and national thought leaders in the redesign of health care delivery. (http://www.collaborativeohioinquirynetwork-.com/pbrn-certificate-program.html). In this commentary, we propose that practice-based research networks (PBRNs) can engage with funders and policymakers by applying the same engagement strategies they have successfully used to build relationships with community stakeholders. This process has the potential to enable PBRNs to bridge a diverse network of stakeholders, produce knowledge that is valued more broadly, and increase levels of infrastructure funding for PBRNs. The research fellowship program that fostered the ideas put forth in this article is designed to support a new generation of independent investigators within the PBRN community, and was developed by the 8 Centers for Primary Care Practice Based Research and Learning supported by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) (http:// www.ahrq.gov/professionals/systems/primarycare/rescenters/index.html). Perennial Funding ChallengesA key issue faced by PBRNs that has spurred discussion in the fellowship program is the ongoing challenge of maintaining funding streams that simultaneously support both PBRN infrastructure This article was externally peer reviewed.

“…3 However, the FM research enterprise receives little funding from the world's largest biomedical research funder, the NIH, when compared with its specialty peers. 4 Previous analyses from the Robert Graham Center determined that DFMs received $187 million of the $95 billion in total research funding dollars awarded by the NIH between 2002 to 2006.…”
