“…22 For example, institutional fiscal procedures are largely inflexible, requiring community partners to adapt to existing structures without institutional understanding of the community partners' circumstances and needs. Processes should be established to promote a culture in which academic researchers and research administrators are better prepared to demonstrate authentic team collaboration [30][31][32] and maintain community trust 33,34 by releasing equitable control to community partners and by being flexible enough to meet their changing research needs. 22 Pursuit of such processes should be a priority across all stakeholder groups and CTSA institutions.…”

What is one word you would use to describe your experience conducting grant-funded research projects in which community partners receive funding? Why did you choose this word?2) I'm now going to ask questions about your experience during the pre-award period (before grant funding is received). These questions relate to grant funded research projects in which community partners would receive funding.

“…For example, the Mental Health-Clergy Partnership Program was established to develop programs to assist rural Veterans with mental health needs and reduce the stigma of seeking treatment. 35 Additionally, the creation of weekly "Veteran Coffee Socials" allows Veterans to form relationships with each other, representatives from community organizations, and staff from local and VA healthcare resources. One of the most common activities of these socials involves receiving information and directions for enrollment into needed healthcare supports and to local community resources.…”

Background The Veterans Access Research Consortium (VARC), a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Consortium of Research focused on access to healthcare, has been funded by VA’s Health Services Research and Development Service (HSR&D) to develop a research roadmap for healthcare access. The goal of the roadmap is to identify operationally aligned research questions that are most likely to lead to meaningful improvements in Veterans’ healthcare access. Objectives To describe the process of soliciting diverse stakeholder perspectives about key priorities on which VA’s HSR&D access agenda should focus and identify the results of that process. Methods We used a modified Delphi approach to engage researchers and VA operational partners in a process to develop recommendations regarding the access-related research questions VA should prioritize. We then collaborated with three Veteran Engagement Groups (VEGs) across the country to solicit Veterans’ reactions to the Delphi results and their perspectives about access-related issues affecting access to VA health care. Results The Delphi panel consisted of 22 research and operational experts, both internal and external to VA. The Delphi process resulted in five research questions identified by the panelists as highest priority for VA to pursue, each representing one of the following domains: (1) measurement of access, (2) barriers to access, (3) equity and subpopulations, (4) effective interventions to improve access, and (5) consequences of poor/better access. Veterans’ perspectives focused primarily on the barriers to access domain. Veterans indicated several barriers that might be addressed through research or operational initiatives, including poor communication about services, weak connections to and partnerships with local community care facilities, and poor provision of telehealth resources and education. Conclusions Engaging multiple methods to solicit stakeholder perspectives enables more nuanced understanding of access-related priorities for VA. Future research should consider utilizing such an approach to identify additional research and/or operational priorities.
