Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Individuals in the Southwest region who could benefit from improved community health research, partnerships, and care pathways supported by SHERC.
✕Less likely to help
Direct patient benefits may be limited in the short term, as this grant concentrates on administration and capacity building rather than a specific clinical intervention.
What this research studies
This grant funds an Administrative Core to keep SHERC's core components aligned, on budget, and progressing toward milestones. It focuses on coordinating activities, engaging advisory groups, and building institutional partnerships to strengthen health research capacity. The core supports researchers, clinicians, and learners by improving processes and communication across projects, with an eye toward long-term impact on community health in Arizona. While the work is management-focused, it underpins studies and programs that could directly affect patients through better access to care and evidence-informed practices.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: Strengthened research infrastructure could accelerate health improvements and access to care for communities served by NAU.
How similar studies have gone: Administrative cores have proven effective in coordinating multi-core research centers and improving project outcomes in health research.
