Research
CHERP sustains a primary research focus on improving the quality and equity of health and health care for vulnerable Veteran populations, while we grow and integrate our secondary research focus on clinical therapeutics (i.e., medications, devices, and procedures), and support additional health services research (HSR) that addresses VA and HSR&D priorities. Our vision is that all Veterans receive accessible, equitable, high-quality, high-value health care and that the Veterans Health Administration (VA) is a national model for health care delivery reflective of these qualities. Our mission is to advance the quality and equity of health and health care for Veterans through HSR, research training and mentoring, service, partnerships, and stakeholder engagement.
