As a result in large part of this evaluation, funding for the GGP has been continued with support from NAPCRG, the American Academy of Family Physicians, the STFM, the College of Family Physicians of Canada, and the home departments of participating academic departments and community-based residency programs.
Family medicine is poised to generate new knowledge through the development of its own research agenda-one that focuses on integrated, relationship-centered patient, family, and community health care.7 Young researchers, however, need to be nurtured, mentored, and organizationally supported.8 Research initiatives such as the GGP represent a collective enterprise, a building of coalitions toward the development of a culture of family medicine research. Continued research success requires commitments from both individuals and departments if family medicine research is to grow and prosper.
