For non-faculty and for community/industry or other institutional affiliates,
the COERE has established an Associate member category. Associate

General Membership Requirements
The main requirements for membership in the COERE are a demonstrated
track record in research and an expressed interest in the field of outcomes
and effectiveness research.
Other Requirements
Members agree to update the COERE’s database annually or on request
regarding their research activities. In addition to their own research
activities, members may be invited to participate on at least one internal
grant review per year at the request of COERE Directors (see Benefits of
Membership). Membership will be reviewed every two years to determine if
a member has demonstrated an active interest in outcomes research programs.
