Military Health Services Research (MHSR)

Objective

The Military Health System Research (MHSR) Program provides intramural and extramural grants for topic areas directed by the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs (OASD (HA)) and the Defense Health Agency (DHA). The intent of this initiative is to foster capability and capacity within the Military Health System (MHS) to conduct health system research through intramural and extramural grants. MHSR funds studies that identify factors that affect the economics/cost, quality, variation, and outcomes of military health care delivery across the enterprise. The program goal is to use data-driven research to inform policy and decision making, resulting in improved efficiency and effectiveness of healthcare delivery within the MHS.
