Domains and research questions to guide public health services and systems research (PHSSR) were generated through a one-year multi-stage, participatory process.
AcademyHealth identified reasons for the lack of sustained investment in the public health services and systems research (PHSSR) field in a report outlining the conditions needed to drive investment in, support for, and action on a renewed research agenda.
AcademyHealth, funded by Kaiser Permanente, is engaging leaders in public health research and practice on a priority-setting initiative to define a research agenda for the evidence needed for a reimagined public health system.
