The New Jersey Practice-Based Research Network (PBRN) is a new initiative led by Rutgers Institute for Health, Health Care Policy and Aging Research to increase the presence of NJ clinical practices in academic research, bridging clinical practice leaders to research expertise. Our goal is to advance the implementation and dissemination of science. The network includes primary care, medical specialties, and surgical specialties.
The NJ PBRN aims to facilitate quality improvement, practice transformation, and linkages of clinical work to health policy by leveraging research strengths in:
Patient safety
Healthy aging
Behavioral health
Care for patients with complex conditions
COVID-19 and public health emergencies
Social determinants of health
We are recruiting our first round of practice members. Membership expectations include:
Complete an annual practice survey
Attend at least one networking event per year
Participate in research projects and educational activities
No fees
The New Jersey PBRN is a part of the Rutgers Institute for Health, Health Care Policy and Aging Research.

Practice-based research has added a different dimension to our practice in a way we couldn't have done on our own. We wouldn't have been able to conduct research without this partnership. Our academic partners provided key support for the IRB process, survey development, administration, data analysis and dissemination. We were able to conduct a social determinants of health survey in our patients and identify really important needs in our population.
