HSR Resources & Methods

A recent AcademyHealth members-only webinar focused on strategies to help health services researchers find, apply for, and secure funding from sources they previously did not explore, such as private foundations.

Discover how to adapt to the evolving research funding environment in the U.S. with our comprehensive resource guide. Learn strategic approaches to securing research funding in these dynamic times.

AHRQ helps us keep pace with change, by making sure clinical research has real-world impact. Given yesterday’s HHS reorganization announcement, we’re highlighting the agency’s impact on HSR and health systems.

Dr. Philip Payne and Dr. Aditi Gupta offer a resource aimed at equipping health services researchers with the knowledge and capabilities to effectively utilize AI’s advantages.

Approved by the AcademyHealth Board of Directors in March 2025, this five-year strategic plan reaffirms the organization’s existing mission, vision, and values, introducing three key focus areas to achieve a newly devised outcome statement.

The gap between producing research and making an impact is far too common. While researchers generate valuable insights, connecting those findings with decision-makers and communities can be difficult. The Communicating for Impact Course provides researchers with strategies to effectively share their insights with decision-makers and communities, ensuring their work leads to meaningful change.

Researchers from Stanford University and Harvard University explore the use of AI to enhance qualitative analysis for HSR, including challenges, questions for consideration, and assessing utility while models are still improving.

Dr. Wilcox, one of the AcademyHealth’s Leveraging AI for High-Impact Health Research course instructors, shares his perspective on AI’s evolution, from the early days of Deep Blue to the latest breakthroughs in generative AI, and what it means for health research today.

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to evolve rapidly, the field of HSR has a significant opportunity to demonstrate what works, for whom, and in what contexts.

AcademyHealth explores emerging challenges, opportunities, and priorities for AI in HSR.
