The EOPCN values research, evaluation and quality improvement, and is committed to supporting the generation of knowledge for primary health care systems and improvement of patient care. The EOPCN welcomes applications by external researchers, research organizations, students and partners related to primary healthcare, both non-clinical and clinical in nature, that advance our strategic direction. Applications are assessed based on set criteria.

Evaluation of Applicants

The Research Review Committee assesses applications in a two-step process:

  1. Each member of the committee reviews the research application documentation independently
  2. The committee convenes to discuss the application collectively and make a decision

Once the decision is made, applicants are notified and receive a summary of the decision. Constructive advice is provided, where appropriate to strengthen future applications.
