The Health Services Research in Progress (HSRProj) database contains descriptions of current health services research projects funded by government agencies, foundations and private organizations. Researchers, policymakers, managers, clinicians and librarians can locate potential collaborators, identify organizations funding research and find investigators conducting research on specific issues.

Definition of Health Services Research

Health services research is the multidisciplinary field of scientific investigation that studies how social factors, financing systems, organizational structures and processes, health technologies, and personal behaviors affect access to health care, the quality and cost of health care, and ultimately our health and well-being. Its research domains are individuals, families, organizations, institutions, communities, and populations.

Organizations that fund health services research or principal investigators that are conducting health services research are invited to submit a description of their current projects to be included in HSRProj. Please complete and submit the form below for each project. Try to provide the most complete information available. It is especially important to provide the information marked with an asterisk (*). If you prefer, you may also submit complete project descriptions via e-mail by attaching a Word or Excel document to an e-mail message and sending it to hsrproj@academyhealth.org.

If you have any questions, please e-mail the HSRProj project staff at hsrproj@academyhealth.org or call 202.292.6700.
