NASHVILLE, Tenn. Expanding National Capacity in PCOR through Training (ENACT) at Advanced Methods in Patient-Centered Comparative Effectiveness Research, a part of the Institute for Clinical Research Education at the University of Pittsburgh, is now accepting applications in partnership with the Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science, Howard University, Meharry Medical College, the Morehouse School of Medicine, the University of Hawaii at Mānoa and the University of Puerto Rico Medical Science Campus.

- Have a strong interest in conducting PCOR/CER research in their careers
- Have completed a basic biostatistics and a research methods course as pre-requisites
- Have completed the Fundamentals of PC-CER course or have permission of the instructor (Dr. Landsittel).
A weekly live session will be held every Wednesday from 3 - 5 p.m. ET.
This is a tuition-free course. Applicants who successfully complete this course will be eligible to apply for a fellowship beginning summer 2017. Interested applicants should visit our website for our online application and contact information for the ENACT partner.
