Research Resources
The Effective Health Care Program funds empiric research to improve the validity, consistency, applicability, and efficiency of systematic reviews and to support the growing demand for using routinely collected healthcare information (e.g., claims data, registries). This research program serves to develop hypotheses, scientific evidence, new analytic approaches and tools, innovative study designs, and guidance materials.
