Research Agenda

The PHSSR national research agenda is designed to guide the future of the field.

Frontiers in PHSSR

Frontiers features peer-reviewed articles that offer brief descriptions of preliminary findings from an ongoing or recently completed empirical study or quality improvement project that answers a question of importance regarding the organization, financing, and delivery of public health services; the structure, operation, and management of public health delivery systems; the application of quality improvement methods in public health settings; and/or the impact of these endeavors on population health. Findings must have the potential to guide future public health practice, health policy, and research.

EndNote Library

A continuously developing collection of PHSSR references reflecting our effort to gather articles and reports from the field of PHSSR, including key papers, authors and the references cited, into an easily navigable file. Our bibliographies are available in both the APA and NEJM reference styles.

PubMed Search Results

The PubMed Results page offers a view at the latest PHSSR literature that is being indexed on a monthly basis. Our search method was developed by public health researchers and medical librarians to include the full scope of relevant literature for fellow researchers. 

Data Harmonization

The Data Harmonization Project involves merging data from the National Association of Local Boards of Health (NALBOH), the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO), and the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO), resulting in a valuable research tool that provides consistent, useful data.
