Scholars Program Processes and Procedures
The PaTH Scholars Program was established to help researchers gain the skills and confidence needed to lead and participate in multi-site “real-world evidence” studies by mentoring and engaging scholars through hands-on participation alongside experienced PaTH researchers. This resource may be adapted by others wanting to create similar programs.
Rapid and Collaborative Response to COVID-19
Researchers responded rapidly and collaboratively to answer COVID-19 questions by using PCORnet resources including a flexible coordinating center, the PCORnet® Common Data Model, research-ready networks, and existing research studies that pivoted quickly. Researchers can use this resource to demonstrate how the resources of PCORnet can be used for studies that require fast answers.
How Common are New Symptoms and Conditions After COVID-19? Results from PCORnet
Summary of the CDC’s research on symptoms experienced more than 4 weeks after first being infected with the virus that causes COVID-19. Researchers studied data from electronic health records of 1.8 million adults and 300,000 children from 42 PCORnet network partners.

Content and format for the resources were informed by both clinic staff and research team members who conduct studies in clinical settings.
GRID Toolkit for Prioritizing Health Research Topics
This toolkit offers creative approaches for authentic engagement in research. This toolkit can help uncover health priorities that matter to people and patients.
Building Stakeholder Capacity to Engage around Technical Content
This webinar could be a helpful resource for researchers and organizations working to engage patients in discussions and decision-making related to complex and highly technical topics. Panelists Monique Does (Kaiser Permanente) and Liz Salmi (OpenNotes) discuss tools and strategies for engaging stakeholders in research data and methodology topics, and their own experiences with this type of engagement from a researcher and patient/researcher perspective. Greg Merritt (PaTH Network) moderates.
Digital Tools for Facilitating Patient/Partner Engagement
This townhall-style webinar can be used by researchers and organizations interested in learning more about using digital tools and strategies to engage patients and other stakeholders in research. Panelists Shilpa Venkatachalam and Dana Goodlett discuss unique tools to support patient partner engagement in research and explore the opportunities and challenges for scaling and sustaining these types of tools. Bray Patrick-Lake moderates the session.
