Background: Policy makers need reliable information to make sound decisions about the allocation of home care and other long-term care resources. Researchers can play an important role by targeting their efforts toward policy concerns and communicating their findings in accessible, usable ways. At the same time, more work needs to be done to strengthen the conceptual underpinnings of long-term care research.

Purpose: A program of The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and administered by the Center, the Home Care Research Initiative (HCRI) supported research and analysis to improve the knowledge base underlying home care policy and practice, with the aim of improving the delivery and financing of these services.

The Home Care Research Initiative (HCRI) concluded its activities in 2002.
