Active research projects

Building clinical capacity and engagement in research

OCHIN partners with top research institutes, research networks, foundations, academic centers, and mission-driven health care organizations across the United States to improve health in all communities, enhance care quality, and inform policy through research.

Our approach is rooted in community benefit.

We are currently conducting several multi-year studies, each tailored to build patient and provider engagement at the grassroots.
