Programs

With support from Amgen, AcademyHealth’s Applied Implementation Science Fellowship Program aims to bridge the gap between evidence and practice by equipping researchers within health care delivery systems with the skills and knowledge to accelerate the translation and adoption of evidence in real-world settings. The fellowship trains early- to mid-career embedded researchers to apply implementation science in their research and practice through a suite of supports that prepare them to design, test, and scale evidence-based innovations that improve health outcomes.

NASTAD (National Alliance of State and Territorial AIDS Directors), in partnership with AcademyHealth and the University of California San Francisco, are collaborating on a four-year Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) grant focused on building state capacity to report HIV viral suppression data through the HVL-AD measure as part of the annual Medicaid Adult Core Set.

While studies have documented a lack of trust in the healthcare system, little evidence exists on how to build trust and mutual respect to address and overcome the health inequities that exist. Projects under the Building Trust and Mutual Respect to Improve Health Care program seek to understand the level of trust patients have across the many facets of the health care system.

AcademyHealth manages the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Building Trust and Mutual Respect to Improve Health Care program, which awarded eight research studies in 2018 to examine how to build trust and mutual respect to meet vulnerable patients’ health care needs.

AcademyHealth is committed to promoting a culture of equitable and inclusive values, policies, and practices across the field of health services and policy research (HSR). This work is sponsored by The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

From June 2015 to July 2017, the Community Health Peer Learning (CHP) Program built community capacity to advance progress toward population health improvements through the expanded capture, sharing, and use of electronic health data from diverse sectors.

The Community Research for Health Equity program, managed by AcademyHealth and supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, funded 10 community-led research projects that addressed local health care system issues of importance to communities of color, people with disabilities, LGBTQ+ individuals, and other historically marginalized populations.
