The SFBayCRN
San Francisco Bay Area Collaborative Research Network
A partnership of community clinicians, practices, and UCSF
The San Francisco Bay Area Collaborative Research Network (SFBayCRN) is UCSF's primary care practice-based research network. SFBayCRN's mission is to facilitate mutually beneficial practice-based research partnerships between UCSF researchers and community-based primary care organizations, practices, and clinicians in the San Francisco Bay Area and Northern California. A unifying goal of our network is to support the development and dissemination of practice-based evidence to improve clinical practices and health outcomes in diverse communities. Our members include community-based clinicians, practices, health care organizations, and UCSF faculty.
The SFBayCRN provides consultation services to members at all stages of the practice-based research process, including practice-based research design, practice recruitment, and study implementation. Consultation meetings can be provided by phone, in person at UCSF, or in the community.

Learn about Practice-Based Research at UCSF and in Diverse Communities
We have developed useful informational materials for clinicians and researchers interested in practice-based research. SFBayCRN is a contributor to the AHRQ Practice-Based Research Network Resource Center. We collaborate with several other UCSF-affiliated groups with a focus on practice improvement and practice-based research: Center for Excellence in Primary Care (CEPC) & Center for Vulnerable Populations (CVP).
