AcademyHealth is an American nonprofit organization based in Washington, DC. It publishes an academic journal called Health Services Research (HSR) through Wiley.
On April 10, 2020, AcademyHealth announced its support for the COVID-19 Research Database initiative, in collaboration with the Health Care Cost Institute (HCCI), CareJourney, the Berkeley Research Group, and a broader network of organizations, to “increase the availability of standardized, actionable information on COVID-19 impact and progression.”
AcademyHealth and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation published a call for proposals seeking studies that “could focus on the effects of COVID-19 on specific cohorts of patients based on underlying conditions and demographics,” such as “the effects of long covid on Alzheimer's and dementia” and “predicting impact on patients with chronic kidney disease.”
AcademyHealth is a member organization of the CDC Coalition.
