About NCPCR 

The CEAL Network for Community-Engaged Primary Care Research (NCPCR) Data Ecosystem includes three primary care research networks: MSM, HCN and OCHIN.

 The NCPCR program has two main components: 

1. a data ecosystem that uses the existing data warehouse capabilities and electronic health record data from primary care settings in CEAL communities
2. a clinical trial titled Community Health Workers Systematically Assessing and Addressing Social Determinants of Health to Improve Outcomes in Community-based Health Centers (CHW-SYSTIM) conducted in the primary care setting

NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT ALLIANCE (NIH CEAL)

NIH CEAL’s mission is to promote health, improve health outcomes, and strengthen community partnerships through community-engaged research to address health disparities. NIH CEAL aims to partner with communities to: 

• Build trust in science and research
• Ensure inclusion across the research continuum
• Advance community-driven solutions addressing differences in health outcomes
• Strengthen community-engaged research 

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The Network for Community-Engaged Primary Care Research (NCPCR) aligns with the mission of the National Institutes of Health Community Engagement Alliance (CEAL) program by using community-engaged research in primary care settings. The NCPCR team designs and tests interventions to address differences in health outcomes and improve participation in research.
