Other pertinent resources include the Department’s Health Effectiveness Research Center and PCORnet®, the national clinical research network; Iowa Health Care infection prevention network; and the diverse laboratories of our secondary and collaborating faculty. At the State level, Iowa Department of Health and Human Services Center for Acute Disease Epidemiology and Iowa State One Health programs are important collaborators.
