Penn Becomes National Coordinating Hub for Federal LHS E-STaR Network

“Three LDI Senior Fellows and Penn Medicine researchers—Meghan Lane-Fall, Jaya Aysola, and Jennifer Myers—have received a $3.8 million grant to establish a national coordinating center for the new network of Learning Health System Embedded Scientist Training and Research (LHS E-STaR) Centers funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI).

Launched in January of this year, 16 LHS E-STaR centers across the country will train scientists to work directly within health systems to conduct research that can be rapidly applied internally to improve health outcomes and clinical services. The first five-years of the national program are funded at $80 million.”
