DHA- Military Health System Research Program

closed

The Military Health System Research Program (MHSRP) provides research grants on topic areas directed by the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs (OASD (HA)) and the Leadership of the Defense Health Agency (DHA). The intent of MHSRP is to improve the efficiency of healthcare delivery within Military Health System (MHS) and accelerate its mission to become a learning health system and to mature as an integrated health system focused on Ready Reliable Care that will improve outcomes for patients, staff, and the enterprise. The MHSRP funds innovative and groundbreaking research that examines factors that affect the military health enterprise in terms of economics/cost, quality, outcomes, variation, policies, and the impact to service member readiness. The goal is to identify and characterize factors that influence the efficiency and effectiveness of MHS care delivery, whether at the military treatment facilities, within the healthcare networks, and/or in the private sector. It is imperative that knowledge gained from this research will support evidence-based DoD policy and decision-making at the strategic and front-line levels. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) seeks rigorous collaborative health system research that has the potential to innovate military and civilian health care.
