Office of Academic Affiliation Awards
In collaboration with VHA Office of Academic Affiliations (OAA), HSR&D sponsors post-doctoral and post-residency training programs at OAA-approved training sites for fellowships in health services research and medical informatics. OAA provides stipends for post-doctoral fellows who are also supported by supplemental funding from HSR&D for research-related expenses and technical support. HSR&D currently has 15 training sites for the PhD associated health professions training programs, 3 sites for post-doctoral physicians in health services, and 8 post-doctoral and physician health professionals in medical informatics. OAA and HSR&D have also initiated support for a post-resident fellowship program in health services research at 8 sites nationally. The training sites and contact information can be found on the OAA web site.
Individual training program information for the HSR&D Centers of Excellence may be obtained below (See Health Services Research Fellowship Address List and Medical Informatics Fellowship Address List) and from http://www.va.gov/oaa.
