Special Interest Groups

Networking and collaboration is an essential component of our members' professional success, and NAPCRG holds a unique position to facilitate relationships in the primary care research community. NAPCRG's Special Interest Groups (SIGs) offer a way for members with similar interests to come together and communicate throughout the year to share experiences, resources, and plans.

Feel free to reach out to the chair listed with each SIG below with questions or join SIG discussion pages on NAPCRG Connect.

To begin a new Special Interest Group, contact the NAPCRG office at napcrgoffice@napcrg.org with the name, university, and e-mail address of the SIG chair and the title of the SIG.
