Practice-based Research Network (PBRN) Work Group

This Work Group explores the role of PBR laboratories and learning communities in the development of new model practices. It is currently using a collaborative strategy to develop research best practices specific to the context of practice-based research. The group also considers advocacy needs of Practice Based Researchers.
