Active CRN Scientific Interest GroupsObesity Scientific Interest GroupThe Obesity Special Interest Group (Obesity SIG) is an HMO Research Network SIG. It was established to foster collaborative research to address questions that HMORN obesity researchers are uniquely positioned to answer given our access to integrated data systems (i.e., ability to link EMR, claims, and pharmacy data) as well as the ability to conduct multi-level observational and intervention studies at the level of individuals, families, clinics, and health plan policy. How to join: Request membership online. Survivorship Scientific Interest GroupThe goal of the Survivorship Interest Group is two-fold. First, we aim to facilitate survivorship research by providing an opportunity to discuss ideas, identify collaborators, and access prior survivorship research experience. Second, we serve as a venue to exchange news and perspectives on survivorship research. The Group involves scientists from the CRN and from other institutions, and communicates via email listserv and teleconference. How to join: Request membership online or contact the CRN PI Office.

SIG GuidancePurposeScientific Interest Groups (SIGs) are initiated and led by investigators with shared interests in emerging areas of high-priority research. See list of CRN's research themes on pages 6-7 of the CRN Brochure. The purpose of SIGs is to offer a venue for investigators to discuss shared interests and provide space to develop opportunities. A SIG is a forum for investigators to identify new ideas and partners. GoalThe goal of SIGs is to enable investigators to identify opportunities to virtually meet investigators from other organizations, share ideas, problem solve, develop manuscripts, and/or prepare grant proposals. A sub-group of a SIG can focus on a manuscript or a grant proposal. SIG Roles & ResponsibilitiesA SIG involves many people, including internal and external from CRN organizations.
