AB  - The Building Research Capacity (BRC) initiative was founded in 2015 as a collaboration between the Association of Departments of Family Medicine (ADFM) and the North American Primary Care Research Group (NAPCRG). It aims to enhance family medicine research engagement by helping develop researchers, research educators, and research leaders. Through consultations, a fellowship, tailored presentations at national conferences, and ongoing assessment, BRC addresses the dynamic needs of various stakeholders in family medicine research. There is a growing need for organized efforts in primary care research capacity development, and BRC is positioned to provide ongoing leadership and direction. Targeted areas of growth for BRC are expansion and diversification, collaboration, and iterative evaluation and adaptation. A commitment to innovation, inclusivity, and adaptability propels BRC toward transformative growth in family medicine research.
