Center to Improve Veteran Involvement in Care (CIVIC)
About CIVIC
CIVIC’s Mission is to support high quality research on patient-centered approaches that promote Veteran engagement and active participation in VA and non-VA healthcare and other resources to improve Veteran health and well-being.
We have designated two primary impact goals that align with HSR and VHA priorities:
Goal 1: Develop and implement interventions and other approaches that improve the healthcare, health, and safety of Veterans who have elevated suicide risk and mental health conditions including pain.
Goal 2: Develop innovative strategies that increase access and improve care coordination within VHA and across VHA and community settings.
Additonal CIVIC goals are to:
Goal 3: Support additional high value, innovative research that falls outside our focused areas.
Goal 4: Collaborate with a diverse set of stakeholders including Veterans to enhance research and build bridges between innovation and evidence.
Goal 5: Further develop CIVIC expertise and activities in dissemination and implementation.
Goal 6: Support equitable career development of promising early and established investigators and staff in order to build and sustain health services research capacity.
