To describe factors that will shape future demand for doctoral-trained health services researchers. STUDY DESIGN/DATA SOURCES: Commentary based on recent trends in funding for health services research (HSR), the number of federally funded HSR projects listed in HSRProj, national expenditures for health, and interviews with a small number of employers.
Despite rapid growth in the overall health care sector, inflation-adjusted funding for HSR has declined, implying little or no net growth in demand for people to lead HSR studies. Employers report being able to hire researchers to conduct HSR by drawing on people trained in many disciplines.
Employers have considerable flexibility in hiring individuals to conduct HSR when demand is relatively stable. They may have much more difficulty hiring well-qualified researchers when faced with sharp increases in demand for HSR, such as could be generated by recent economic stimulus legislation.
描述未来对博士学历的卫生服务研究人员的需求所形成的因素。
研究设计/资料来源：基于卫生服务研究（HSR）资金的近期趋势、HSRProj 中列出的联邦资助 HSR 项目数量、国家卫生支出以及对少数雇主的访谈的评论。
尽管整个医疗保健行业迅速增长，但 HSR 的通胀调整资金却有所下降，这意味着 HSR 研究的领导需求几乎没有或没有净增长。雇主报告说，通过利用受过多种学科培训的人员，他们能够聘请研究人员进行 HSR。
当需求相对稳定时，雇主在招聘从事 HSR 的人员方面具有相当大的灵活性。当 HSR 的需求急剧增加时，例如最近的经济刺激立法可能产生的需求增加，他们可能更难以招聘到合格的研究人员。
