The goal of ADVANCE is to build and maintain a network of Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs)- community-based health care organizations- to strengthen inclusion of populations that have been historically underserved and underrepresented in research. ADVANCE adds value to health equity initiatives and health equity research by curating data sets for researchers.
ADVANCE promotes health equity by producing peer-reviewed, evidence-based research among vulnerable and underserved populations.
Patients and caregivers contribute vital insights, experiences, and expertise to research development, conduct, and dissemination. ADVANCE engages patients and caregivers throughout the research life cycle to produce more relevant, equitable, and person-centered research evidence.
The ADVANCE Data Warehouse is the nation’s most comprehensive database on healthcare and outcomes of communities and populations historically underrepresented or excluded from research.
The ADVANCE Clinical Research Network (CRN) is funded through the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute and is a member of PCORnet®. ADVANCE is led by OCHIN in partnership with Fenway Health, Health Choice Network (HCN), Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), and the University of Washington (UW).”
ADVANCE has a formal review process to assess proposed research opportunities and determine organizational participation led by our OCHIN Front Door Team.
