Can a university/academic institution function as a lead organization for a PBRN?
Applicants are strongly encouraged to designate a state or local public health agency as the lead PBRN organization, where such agencies have sufficient administrative infrastructure to oversee key project activities. PBRNs that designate another type of organization as the network’s lead organization—such as a public health institute, university research center, or private organization—must offer a clear rationale for this decision. If the lead organization is not a practice agency, the application must describe mechanisms that will be used to ensure that practice agencies have a leading voice in establishing the network’s research agenda and scope of work.
