National Survey of VA Researchers 2002:
The annual survey of VA Researches is designed to assess researchers' views of the
current status of research in VA and the support they receive from the local, VISN
and national VA offices. In 2002, this survey was completed by 2,618 researchers
across VA, with a response rate of 61%. Results are provided at the national,
VISN and local levels. To see the reports, click here.
Influences on VA Researcher Satisfaction:
The 2002 Survey of Researchers shows substantial variation in researcher satisfaction among VA medical centers. In order to better understand this variation, and more specifically, to identify factors associated with high researcher satisfaction in VA, we conducted case studies in six medical centers with high satisfaction scores and in four medical centers with low survey satisfaction scores. In each facility, we asked investigators and research administrators for their opinions about why researcher satisfaction was especially high - or low. From their accounts, we identified six factors that distinguish between high and low satisfaction medical centers. See the case study results.
