NCEPCR’s Mission

NCEPCR’s mission is to support transformative primary care research, tools and methods for implementation, and the next generation of primary care researchers to improve the delivery of primary care.
The National Center for Excellence in Primary Care Research (NCEPCR) is the home for primary care research at AHRQ. NCEPCR is focused on strengthening the Nation's primary care system, providing evidence, practical tools, and other resources for researchers and evaluators, clinicians and clinical teams, quality improvement experts, and healthcare decision makers to improve the quality and safety of care.
AHRQ invests in primary care research to help primary care practices improve the quality and delivery of care and achieve better health outcomes. AHRQ’s research initiatives produce evidence about what works best in creating and sustaining primary care infrastructure, with tools and resources practices can use in their quality improvement efforts.
AHRQ's primary care resources also include the Compendium of U.S. Health Systems, CAHPS tools and surveys, HCUP data, MEPS data, Social Determinants of Health database, and SOPS.
