The Disrupted Care National Project (DCNP) team holds monthly meetings to facilitate connections between investigators and to accelerate the progress of work on COVID-19 disrupted and deferred care. This initiative of the DCNP, led by Dr. Brian Lucas, includes large group discussions about shared analytic challenges, works-in-progress (WIP) sessions for investigators to present their work in a trusted setting filled with friendly skepticism and brainstormed solutions, and outside speakers who can contribute unique analytic and methodologic expertise.
Please contact Samuel Rosa for additional information, including meeting times.
