HSR's mission is to develop, evaluate, and rapidly implement evidence-based strategies that advance the health and care of Veterans. These summaries provide an overview of the impact that the programs of health systems research (through HSR) and implementation science (through QUERI) are making for VA and Veterans. They summarize new initiatives and high priority activities in research, including responding to COVID-19 and quality of VA care, address high priorities of our VA partners, identify key research findings for the year, and earned achievements in research.
