It can be challenging for primary care clinicians to find time to engage in research. In response, the Northern New England CO-OP Practice and Community-Based Research Network took a boots on-the-ground approach. Between 2023 and 2025, CO-OP leaders and staff made 36 “Learning Tours” visits, reaching 82 primary care sites and more than 300 clinicians, medical directors and staff across northern New England and bordering states. They credit the tours in part to CO-OP Network membership rising 102% and annual meeting attendance 37%.
