Public Health Systems Research (PHSR)
AcademyHealth's Public Health programs advance evidence-based decision making in public health policy and practice by translating research findings and promoting partnerships among stakeholders. Public Health Systems Research is an emerging discipline, and AcademyHealth works to advance its priorities through the Public Health Systems Research Interest Group, interactive meetings, professional development, and other resources.
