In this Complex Care Journal Club podcast episode, Drs. Ryan Coller, Jay Berry, Allysa Ware, and Ms. Dania Champion describe the Systems and Policy Research Network (SPR Network), a multi-site research collaborative focused on children with special healthcare needs. They discuss the network’s core research areas — child quality of life, family well-being, and family engagement — as well as recent work leveraging national Medicaid and hospitalization data to inform federal policy. They also highlight the network’s Early Investigator Program, its lived experience partner advisory model, and pathways for researchers and families to get involved at SPRnetwork.org.
