ResearchToolkit.org provides one-stop Web resource for health researchers

The University of Washington’s Institute of Translational Health Sciences, in partnership with Group Health Research Institute, Wayne State University, and Duke University—have developed a new website to help researchers create and sustain successful multisite research collaborations. The project team created the site, www.researchtoolkit.org, to enhance the efficiency of research from start to finish, including developing research networks, launching and managing projects, and sharing study results or other products such as data sets, tools, and training resources.

The website was developed as part of a project known as PRIMER, or Partnership-driven Resources to IMprove and Enhance Research. PRIMER was awarded to the Institute of Translational Health Sciences (ITHS) at the University of Washington by the NCRR. The study team included researchers from Group Health Research Institute and the University of Washington (both in Seattle, WA), Duke University (Durham, NC), and Wayne State University (Detroit, MI). “The partnership among our teams ultimately helped strengthen the final product,” according to collaborating investigator Anne Victoria Neale, PhD, MPH, a professor at Wayne State.
