Federal law — U.S. Code and appendices · legal_authorities
**(a) Evidence rating systems** In collaboration with experts from the public and private sector, the Agency shall identify and disseminate methods or systems to assess health care research results, particularly methods or systems to rate the strength of the scientific evidence underlying health care practice, recommendations in the research literature, and technology assessments. The Agency shall make methods or systems for evidence rating widely available. Agency publications containing health care recommendations shall indicate the level of substantiating evidence using such methods or systems.
**(b) Health care improvement research centers and provider-based research networks**
(1) **In general** — In order to address the full continuum of care and outcomes research, to link research to practice improvement, and to speed the dissemination of research findings to community practice settings, the Agency shall employ research strategies and mechanisms that will link research directly with clinical practice in geographically diverse locations throughout the United States, including—
(A) health care improvement research centers that combine demonstrated multidisciplinary expertise in outcomes or quality improvement research with linkages to relevant sites of care;
(B) provider-based research networks, including plan, facility, or delivery system sites of care (especially primary care), that can evaluate outcomes and evaluate and promote quality improvement; and
(C) other innovative mechanisms or strategies to link research with clinical practice.
(2) **Requirements** — The Director is authorized to establish the requirements for entities applying for grants under this subsection.

practice settings, the Agency shall employ re-
search strategies and mechanisms that will
link research directly with clinical practice in
geographically diverse locations throughout

ters that combine demonstrated multidisci-
plinary expertise in outcomes or quality im-
provement research with linkages to rel-
evant sites of care;

cluding plan, facility, or delivery system
sites of care (especially primary care), that
can evaluate outcomes and evaluate and pro-
mote quality improvement; and
