Since 1994, the Harvard Pediatric Health Services Research (HSR) Fellowship Program has excelled at training a new generation of investigators whose work is defining and addressing critical gaps in child health services research and the provision of primary care for children. Health services research examines key issues such as access, quality, outcomes and cost-effectiveness of care.

|
|
The principal goal of our two-year program is to develop expert investigators whose research will fundamentally improve the capacity of the U.S. healthcare system to meet the needs of children and families, including socio-economically disadvantaged and minority populations. The diverse research projects conducted by our faculty and fellows share the goal of improving pediatric care along the six dimensions of quality articulated by the Institute of Medicine -care that is safe, effective, timely, efficient, patient centered, and equitable.

Graduates of the HSR Fellowship Program have become successful independent health services researchers in leading pediatric centers. Our success is a result of many factors, including:
- a highly structured curriculum and research environment;
- personalized mentoring;
- a collaborative environment;
- access to expert methodologists and to the vast, multidisciplinary resources and faculty of the Harvard institutions.
