At the University of Connecticut, a multidisciplinary team lead by two veteran pharmaceutical researchers is stepping up to help health care professionals make more informed decisions by sifting through the latest research in order to recommend the best treatment options based on a strict analysis of the scientific evidence.
In recognition of the team’s clinical expertise, UConn was recently awarded a 5-year contract to serve as one of 13 Evidence-based Practice Centers supported by the federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
The designation is highly competitive and only a select few institutions are given the honor. Some of the other centers currently operating in the U.S. are overseen by Duke University, Brown University, Johns Hopkins University, and the Mayo Clinic.
