Aging Scientific Interest Group

The purpose of the HCSRN Aging IG is to provide a forum to promote aging research and connect researchers interested in related topics (e.g., healthier aging, lifestyle interventions, cognitive function, neurodegenerative disease, technologies, frailty/falls, use of prescriptions, and caregiving issues).

Institutional Review Board Work Group

The HCSRN IRB workgroup is a consortium of IRB, HRPP, and Research Compliance professionals that meet every other month. This work group meets to collaborate, share best practices, and works to streamline and improve the IRB review process for collaborative HCSRN research.

Patient Engagement in Research (PER) Scientific Interest Group

The aim of the PER IG is to help member research organizations build infrastructure for patient engagement in research, and to develop generalizable tools to enhance engagement efforts. Meets annually at the HCSRN conference and bimonthly via teleconference.

Pharmacy Scientific Interest Group

The intent of the HCSRN Pharmacy IG is to bring together HCSRN members and invited nonmembers to explore topics and collaborate on subjects related to pharmacy services and the continuum of the medication use process from discovery to disposal within healthcare delivery. This IG is open to HCSRN members and invited non-members. If you are not part of the HCSRN and have an interest in joining this group, please reach out to hcsresearchnetwork@gmail.com.
