Why Health Centers Should Engage in Research and How to Get Started

[Announcement from SCRA-L]

Dear SCRA colleagues,

Why Health Centers Should Engage in Research and How to Get Started provides the business case for health centers to engage in research.

Written by Mary Oneha, the Chief Executive Officer of Waimanalo Health Center in Hawaii, the brief outlines the benefits research brings to health centers, discusses how research fits into health centers' mission, and maps out the steps to take to get started in research.

The brief draws on two Community-Campus Partnerships for Health (CCPH) reports that are also available online:
