HSRProj: Health Services Research Projects in Progress

The HSRProj (Health Services Research Projects) in Progress database contains descriptions on more than 7,500 current health services research projects funded by government and state agencies, foundations, and private organizations.   

Use HSRProj to identify:

  • The most up-to-date information on ongoing projects in the field;
  • Individuals conducting cutting-edge health services research;
  • Colleagues who may be interested in collaborating or discussing the policy implications of a given area of research;
  • Government agencies, private organizations, and foundations funding health services research; and,
  • Specific ongoing health services research projects, such as racial disparities in health care, medical errors/patient safety, small area analysis, etc.

The database is also accessible as part of the "Other Collections" category of resources in the National Library of Medicine (NLM) Internet Gateway. The National Information Center on Health Services Research and Health Care Technology (NICHSR) coordinates its continued development for the National Library of Medicine (NLM).

HSRProj is a joint effort of AcademyHealth and the Cecil G. Sheps Center for Health Services Research, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.  It is funded by the National Library of Medicine.
