Public Health Systems & Services Research (PHSSR) is a new national program funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) designed to build awareness of this new field focused on the organization, financing, delivery and impact of public health services.

The national program brings together the following three project partners: Public Health Systems & Services Research, Practice Based Research Networks and Public Health Finance.

Discussion Boards

As registered members, researchers, practitioners & policymakers can  discuss  topics related to PHSSR.  During the 2008 Keeneland Conference, we started a topic called "Are We Asking the Right Questions?" and encourage each member to share their thoughts.

Learning Circles

Resources

One of the goals of the PHSSR initiative is to provide members with valuable resources to support their work.  Our team of librarians and researchers have prepared a PHSSR reference library of over 350 sources.  Additionally, members interested in Data Harmonization may find the Synoptic Analysis of the NACCHO, ASTHO and NALBOH Surveys helpful.
