Learning Health System Embedded Scientist Training and Research (LHS E-StaR) Centers

These scientist training and research centers will be funded over 5 years to support learning health systems, including patient-centered comparative clinical effectiveness research. Through this joint initiative, AHRQ and PCORI continue their mutual commitment to support learning health systems by training a new cadre of learning health system scientists. Grantees will create new models of learning health system infrastructure that will use evidence generated by these scientists' research to optimize care as quickly, broadly, and equitably as possible and ultimately improve health outcomes.

The following 16 centers nationwide have been awarded grants to conduct this work for the first year:
