Center for Evidence-Based Practice in the Underserved
Funded by the National Institute for Nursing Research (P20NR07799)
About the Center
The specific aims of the Center are to:
- Establish an Administrative Core structure that utilizes information technology and informatics processes to support collaborative, interdisciplinary research related to evidence-based practice in underserved populations
- Facilitate the building of evidence for practice in underserved populations through the funding of pilot studies, mentoring of investigators, and other Pilot Core activities
- Implement and maintain informatics-based approaches that enable data aggregation, secondary data use, and building of evidence across CEBP studies; these include translation of research protocols into standardized terminologies, creation of electronic data dictionaries and scoring algorithms for standardized research instruments, and development of a common data repository
- Develop the expertise of CEBP investigators in informatics-based approaches for research focused on targeting and tailoring interventions for underserved populations in a culturally- and ethnically-appropriate manner
- Develop the expertise of CEBP investigators in the use of telehealth and mobile computing devices as strategies for the delivery of nursing interventions in underserved populations.
