This Interagency Agreement (IAA) is to fund the Electronic Health Record (EHR) Pediatric Practice Based Research Network (PBRN) initiative. The purpose of this IAA is to fund, oversee, and manage a research grant on a topic of mutual interest to the agencies. The funds will be used to conduct comparative effectiveness research (CER) and epidemiologic assessments of the use of selected psychotropic medications and the most commonly prescribed asthma medications in pediatric populations, as well as possible associations between these medications and side effects in this population in an existing electronic health record (EHR) based pediatric practice-based research network. This agreement provides needed supplemental funding and HRSA staff experience to conduct the U.S. survey component according to the HBSC study protocol developed in collaboration with the World Health Organization. The NEXT study was included as an option in FY2012. NEXT is a 7-year longitudinal assessment of a representative sample of U.S. adolescent and young adults, starting when they are in in 10th grade. This research initiative involves collaboration with the Best Pharmaceuticals Act for Children.

The overall goal of the Common Fund’s Health Care Systems (HCS) Research Collaboratory program is to strengthen the national capacity to implement cost-effective large-scale research studies that engage health care delivery organizations as research partners. The aim of the program is to provide a framework of implementation methods and best practices that will enable the participation of many health care systems in clinical research, not to support a defined health care research network. Research conducted in partnership with health care systems is essential to strengthen the relevance of research results to health practice.
