Healthcare Access and Community Care Active Projects Inventory
One of the Access and Community Care Engagement Network Team’s (ACCENT) core activities is to synthesize and maintain a “state of the science” active project inventory containing information about funded studies related to access to care and community care.
Active Projects Inventory
This is a public database of funded VA Health Systems Research (HSR) and Quality Enhancement Research Initiative (QUERI) studies addressing healthcare access and community care. It is meant to foster high-impact research by helping researchers to appreciate the current landscape of research into these areas, to better identify gaps in research and to serve as a resource for systematic reviews. The data are updated at least annually.
The API is available in the link below. The “Metadata” document provides details on creation of the inventory and a data dictionary.

Disclaimers:
- We are periodically updating our inventory and the information contained therein. It can be challenging to code information about a project reliably; we depend on the grant data sources and investigators we contact to provide us information such as abstracts/aims and help us categorize studies correctly.
- Projects which have not yet started are not included in Reporting and Analytics Field Training (RAFT) and therefore may not yet have come to ACCENT’s attention—there may be a lag before a project appears in our inventory as a result.
- If you are an investigator on a VA-funded project and don’t see your project listed or if your project’s information is incorrect, please let us know by emailing data@va.gov.
ACCENT identifies and categorizes projects using the following sources:
- Office of Research and Development RAFT database: This database is maintained by ORD and includes active ORD-funded projects.
- Follow-up communications with investigators of funded projects
- Specific solicitations from Centers (e.g., QUERI Evidence-based Policy (EBP) Centers, VA HSR COnsortia of REsearch (COREs))
- Word of mouth (from investigators, leadership, program officers, etc.)
Funding
This project is funded by a VA Health Systems Research Consortia of Research (CORE) Grant (COR 23-190).
