Healthcare Access and Community Care Active Projects Inventory

One of the Access and Community Care Engagement Network Team’s (ACCENT) core activities is to synthesize and maintain a “state of the science” active project inventory containing information about funded studies related to access to care and community care.   

Active Projects Inventory

This is a public database of funded VA Health Systems Research (HSR) and Quality Enhancement Research Initiative (QUERI) studies addressing healthcare access and community care. It is meant to foster high-impact research by helping researchers to appreciate the current landscape of research into these areas, to better identify gaps in research and to serve as a resource for systematic reviews. The data are updated at least annually.

The Active Projects Inventory (API) is available in the link below. The “Metadata” document provides details on creation of the inventory and a data dictionary.

Disclaimers:

  • We are periodically updating our inventory and the information contained therein. It can be challenging to code information about a project reliably; we depend on the grant data sources and investigators we contact to provide us information such as abstracts/aims and help us categorize studies correctly.
  • Projects which have not yet started are not included in Reporting and Analytics Field Training (RAFT) and therefore may not yet have come to ACCENT’s attention—there may be a lag before a project appears in our inventory as a result.
  • If you are an investigator on a VA-funded project and don’t see your project listed or if your project’s information is incorrect, please let us know by emailing accent.data@va.gov.

ACCENT identifies and categorizes projects using the following sources:

  1. Office of Research and Development RAFT database: This database is maintained by ORD and includes active ORD-funded projects.
  2. Follow-up communications with investigators of funded projects
  3. Specific solicitations from Centers (e.g., QUERI Evidence-based Policy (EBP) Centers, VA HSR COnsortia of REsearch (COREs))
  4. Word of mouth (from investigators, leadership, program officers, etc.)

Funding

This project is funded by a VA Health Systems Research Consortia of Research (CORE) Grant (COR 23-190).
