The Health Care Systems (HCS) Research Collaboratory program is strengthening the national capacity to implement cost-effective large-scale research studies that engage health care delivery organizations as research partners. The studies funded through this program, referred to as pragmatic clinical trials, engage medical centers across the country in addressing a wide range of pressing public health concerns. The HCS Collaboratory works with representatives from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP), and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in order to bring expertise from across HHS to bare on the implementation of these complex pragmatic clinical trials.
