The National Institutes of Health is investing in creating a national primary care research network with a $30 million pilot program called Communities Advancing Research Equity for Health. This program aims to include diverse populations in clinical trials by funding and supporting primary care sites to participate in multiple studies based on their local population’s health needs. The goal is to move research outside academic medical centers and increase trust within communities. The program also hopes to address health disparities by focusing on issues like substance abuse, mental health disorders, and obesity. This initiative could lead to a more effective public health response and improved access to clinical trials.
