The ADVANCE Clinical Research Network (CRN) 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 maintains a network of community health centers in order to support and facilitate inclusion of populations that can sometimes be hard to reach (e.g., rural populations). ADVANCE adds value to health outcomes research by curating data sets for researchers.
