Funding the training of future health services researchers.
This article describes the trends in funding for training health service researches in the United States. The government funds some training through grants by NIH and AHRQ through the National Research Service Award (NRSA) mechanism. However, most of the AHRQ grant programs have reduced their funding levels from 2010 to 2015 by almost half, with only the dissertation grants program (R36) experiencing an increase. Other federal mechanisms to fund training come through postdoctoral or post-MD programs with HRSA or the Veterans Administration. Private funding is also available through the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Lastly, AcademyHealth started a Delivery System Science Fellowship (DSSF) program to provide a paid post-doctoral learning experience for early-career researchers. Out of 118 applicants, 25 fellows, six trained as physicians have been accepted. Twenty-one researchers have completed the fellowship, and four are current fellows. There has been a wide background in those fellows. The writers believe more stable funding sources need to be established with a close collaboration between HSR researchers and users.

Primary care tasks associated with provider burnout: findings from a Veterans Health Administration survey.
The purpose of this study was to investigate (1) the extent to which primary care providers (PCPs) share responsibility for 14 discrete primary care tasks with other team members, and (2) which, if any, of the primary care tasks performed by the PCPs (without reliance on team members) are associated with PCP burnout.
