HSRProj: Health Services Research Projects in Progress

The HSRProj (Health Services Research Projects in Progress) database provides information about grants and contracts in health services research that are still in progress. Search HSRProj to find research in the pipeline.

Accessible for free, HSRProj is a database of ongoing health services research. It is also accessible as part of the "Other Collections" category of resources in the National Library of Medicine (NLM) Internet Gateway. The National Information Center on Health Services Research and Health Care Technology (NICHSR) coordinates its continued development for NLM.

Records include both grants and contracts awarded by major public and private funding agencies and foundations. Individuals can retrieve names of organizations that are either conducting or sponsoring research, principal investigator contact information, beginning and end dates of a project, and information about study design and methodology. Records are indexed with NLM’s Medical Subject Headings (MeSH®). Project abstracts are included whenever possible.
To allow time for principal investigators to complete their projects and publish findings, records remain in the database for a period of four years after the project’s end date. The elapsed time between the completion of a research project and the publication of the findings can range from 6 to 24 months. The findings of a recently completed, but not yet published, health services research project can be especially valuable to health policymakers and researchers. By listing ongoing and recently completed projects, HSRProj can provide researchers and policymakers with a vital link to information that is not readily available from other sources.
