Military Health System Research: The Military Health System Research (MHSR) Program provides grants for priority areas directed by the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs (OASD [HA]) and the Defense Health Agency (DHA). The objective of the MHSR grant is to foster research capability and capacity within the Military Health System (MHS) that supports the MHS transition to an integrated health system focused on the Quadruple Aim: improved health readiness, better health, better care, and lower cost. The MHSR seeks studies on factors that affect the access, economics/cost, quality, variation, and outcomes of military health care delivery. This includes how policies, social factors, financing systems, organizational structures and processes, health technologies, and behaviors influence military health care delivery to DoD beneficiaries, e.g., individual Service members, families, communities, and populations.The MHSR goal is to identify and further characterize the factors that influence the efficiency and effectiveness of MHS care delivery. Knowledge obtained from this research supports evidence-based policy and decision-making at the strategic and front-line levels. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) seeks rigorous health system research through collaborations that have the potential to innovate military and civilian health care. The goal is also to enhance data-driven evidence that optimizes the MHS delivery of health care during peacetime and war, to include potential future conflicts, and the improvement of beneficiary health.
