National Palliative Care Research Center (NPCRC)The National Palliative Care Research Center serves as a resource and national convener for palliative care research by bringing together leaders in palliative care research to collaboratively develop a long term strategic plan that attracts high quality investigators and provides them with technical assistance and research support. The Center encourages and supports regular scientific interchange and networking, initiates and coordinates multi-site studies, develops and funds junior investigators, and finances pilot studies that can lead to larger federally-funded (e.g., NIH) research. The Center focuses on three specific areas: pain and symptom management, health services research — specifically the evaluation of models of care for palliative care delivery, and improving communication between providers and patients through rigorously designed clinical studies. Although located at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City, investigators from throughout the United States are invited to submit research proposals to the Center. Related Sites |
