Founded in 2018 by TPMG leadership and the Associate Executive Directors, DARE provides infrastructure, connections, and analytic support to clinician-researchers for answering questions that will change care. This program promotes collaboration between clinician-investigators and Division of Research scientists, providing support from the initial stages of idea development to creation of evidence that can drive implementation. The aim is to conduct impactful, efficient, and collaborative research that yields practical and actionable results.
The DARE program includes:
- Multiple funding mechanisms for investigations of varying duration/complexity;
- The Physician Researcher Program, providing high-level support for selected clinicians across specialties;
- A one-stop idea/funding submission portal and efficient core administrative team;
- Specialty-specific research networks that build communities of evidence-driven clinicians;
- Research tools, collaborations, and funding.
