RESEARCHER IN RESIDENCE
The Pennsylvania Practice Improvement Collaboratives is sponsoring the Researcher in Residence Program. This program, modeled after a successful effort in New York of the same name, involves the matching of a researcher(s) with a small number of Single County Authorities across the Commonwealth for the purpose of providing to the participating Single County Authority free consultation on a variety of predetermined issues. The scope of consultation could include assistance in the development of an outcomes monitoring system for the Single County Authority facilitation in the development of a relationship with an academic institution for the purpose of developing research ideas and obtaining grants assistance in obtaining or translating existing evidence-based research on topics that address the needs of the Single County Authority (i.e., opiate treatment in rural settings) or other areas of interest to the Single County Authorities. The program encompasses a one-year period, and is part of the PIC evaluation effort. It is hoped that this project will result in the replication of a refined Research in Residence model that could be further funded through federal or state sources.
Moreover, the products developed through this project will also be made available to all Single County Authorities within the Commonwealth.
