ADVANCE is a Clinical Research Network (CRN) within PCORnet. PCORnet is a national resource, funded by PCORI, that enables insights from high-quality health data, patient partnership, and research expertise to deliver fast, trustworthy answers that advance health outcomes.
The ADVANCE CRN is a network of academic and practice-based research institutions dedicated to transforming primary care research for patients facing barriers to care, including patients served in community health centers, Federally Qualified Health Centers, and rural communities.
Enabled by the support of community health organizations and the patients they serve, ADVANCE has built the nation’s largest and most comprehensive database on health care and outcomes for populations facing barriers to care.

For over ten years, ADVANCE has partnered with leading academic institutions to conduct high-quality, patient-centered research among populations facing barriers to care.

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, robust, and person-centered research evidence.

The ADVANCE Data Warehouse is the nation’s most comprehensive database for the study of health care and outcomes among over 14 million rural and medically underserved patients nationwide.
