Welcome to the Safety Net Providers Strategic Alliance (SNPSA)
SNPSA serves as a hub for the exchange of ideas among safety net providers in Cleveland, Ohio .
The Network facilitates a rich dialogue about the ever-changing trends clinicians are observing in their practices and ways such observations might be explored via practice-based research.
SNPSA supports its members in conducting practice-relevant research with outcomes that translate “from the bench to the bedside”.
In order to support relevant, practice-based research in a way that does not add significant burden to your already-demanding clinical workload, SNPSA helps facilitate several key resources for interested practitioners. For example, project funding is available through a Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) as well as hands-on research resources via the Practice-Based Research Network Shared Resource (PBRNSR).
Even if not currently conducting a research project, there are benefits to being an active member of SNPSA—for example, practitioners learn from the dissemination of their colleagues’ findings and utilize such outcomes to inform their best-practice approaches with the adults and families they treat.
Several of our Network’s members, with added resources through the PBRN and CTSA, are currently exploring their research questions-of-interest.
