Alliance Discussion with Dr. Carolyn Clancy, Assistant Under Secretary for Health for Discovery, Education and Affiliate Networks, Veterans Health Administration
December 4 @ 1:30 pm - 2:00 pm
Answering the “Porter Question…”
“How do you know your research has impact on people?”
That’s the deceptively simple question Congressional luminary John Edward Porter (1935-2022, U.S. Representative, R-IL-10, 1980-2001), was known to level at federal officials when they came before the powerful House “Labor-H” Appropriations Subcommittee he chaired.
We’ve asked our 2025 John Edward Porter Legacy Award Recipient, Dr. Carolyn Clancy, who stood before Chair Porter’s subcommittee and answered that question, to discuss a sure path to patient benefit: health services research. Dr. Clancy and moderator Dr. Georges Benjamin joined us for a Zoom conversation about this under-appreciated research discipline.
