The Directory of Training Programs in Health Services Research and Health Policy provides key information about U.S. and international post-baccalaureate certificate, master's, doctoral, and postdoctoral programs in the fields of health services research and health policy.

Each program profile lists: program objectives, program focus, degree(s) offered, program director(s), senior faculty and primary research interests, tuition, financial aid, average completion time, average number of students, start date, program structure, language of instruction, application requirements, and contact information.

The training directory is an online resource that is updated continuously as we receive new and updated program information. Search the directory. Background information about the directory is also available.

The directory has been expanded to include health policy research programs and health policy tracks in public policy programs as well as the core health services research programs included in our two earlier editions (1992 and 1997).

The directory is intended for several different audiences:

• Students searching for potential training programs;
• Staff of training programs who are interested in learning about other health services research and health policy programs;
• Career placement officers at colleges and universities;
• Employers looking for sources of potential employees;
• Public and private funding organizations interested in learning more about health services research and health policy training programs; and
• Health care and policy decision makers interested in potential sources of policy-relevant information.
