We look forward to hosting our next Q-PRO Lunch and Learn in 2023. |
The mission of the Qualitative and Patient-Reported Outcomes (Q-PRO) Shared Resource is to enrich science and improve health by amplifying perspectives on complex and underexplored health, system, and societal challenges.
The Q-PRO Shared Resource supports population-focused research by providing pre-award scientific consultation to investigators, and research infrastructure to support both qualitative and patient-reported outcomes research for funded projects. We address the unmet needs for methodological expertise in qualitative research and patient-reported outcomes that promote translational research in clinical and community settings.
