title: Developing an infrastructure for research in a free-standing hospital.
abstract: Hospital leaders who are not part of a university system often are not aware of the complexities associated with conducting research or the infrastructure required to successfully support a hospital-based research program. The author discusses a research program, provides recommendations for building a hospital-based infrastructure, and shares one hospital's experience.
