Social Interventions Research and Evaluation Network (SIREN) is a research acceleration and dissemination initiative at the University of California, San Francisco. Our mission is to improve health and health equity by advancing high quality research on health care sector strategies to improve social conditions.

A sub-committee of 15 of the Institute’s Experts by Experience (ExE) convene 5 times a year with select researchers to discuss social needs and equity related research projects and events. Our patient and caregiver ExEs provide valuable insights to create, refine, and drive research initiatives.

This group recently advised on a UCSF research interview guide to be used for interviewing patients about screening for social determinants of health, including how and what to ask as part of their qualitative research project.
This group will also be integrated into planning activities for SIREN’s Annual Research Meeting, including the review of their upcoming RFP.
