title: Research in a busy family practice training program.
abstract: A newly designed framework for starting research projects in an Army family practice residency incorporates a timeline and a Family Practice Research Advisory Committee to stimulate research among residents and staff. Seventy-five percent of second- and third-year residents participated in approved projects compared to none two years ago. Sixty-six percent of the faculty have initiated research projects since implementation of the new guidelines. The combination of the committee and the timeline centralizes research within the family practice department and provides an academic environment for the department.
