HCSRN Scientific Interest Groups

The purpose of the HCSRN Aging SIG is to provide a forum to promote aging research and connect researchers interested in related topics (e.g., healthier aging, lifestyle interventions, cognitive function, neurodegenerative disease, technologies, frailty/falls, use of prescriptions, and caregiving issues).

If you are interested in being added to the roster, please contact Leah Hanson at [email protected].

The HCSRN IRB workgroup is a consortium of IRB, HRPP, and Research Compliance professionals that meet every other month. This work group meets to collaborate, share best practices, and works to streamline and improve the IRB review process for collaborative HCSRN research.

If you are interested in being added to the roster, please contact Melissa Goff at [email protected].

The aim of the PER SIG is to help member research organizations build infrastructure for patient engagement in research, and to develop generalizable tools to enhance engagement efforts. Meets annually at the HCSRN conference and quarterly via teleconference.

If you are interested in being added to the roster, please contact Karen Coleman at [email protected].

The intent of the HCSRN Pharmacy SIG is to bring together HCSRN members and invited nonmembers to explore topics and collaborate on subjects related to pharmacy services and the continuum of the medication use process from discovery to disposal within healthcare delivery. This IG is open to HCSRN members and invited non-members.

If you are interested in being added to the roster, please contact Tony Olson at [email protected].

The Research Project Management Work Group brings together HCSRN members and nonmembers to explore effective and efficient project management strategies and other related topics for those who conduct research within health care systems, academic and other settings.

If you are interested in being added to the roster, please contact Julie Steiner at [email protected] or Jocelyn Wainwright at [email protected].
