Veterans Rural Health Resource Centers (VRHRCs) are Office of Rural Health (ORH) centers that serve as hubs of rural health care research, innovation, and dissemination. Each VRHRC addresses specific rural issues. The Gainesville VRHRC focuses on these issues:
The investigators who comprise the VRHRC-GNV team have worked on the following:
The North Florida/South Georgia Veterans Health System (NF/SGVHS), where the VRHRC-GNV is located, is one of the busiest VA health systems. A half century of southeastern migration of elderly Veterans and more recent post-hurricane relocations from south Florida and Puerto Rico have combined to make the NF/SGVHS responsible for a large, ethnically diverse Veteran population.
In collaboration with ORH, the VRHRC-GNV identified two broad areas in the ORH portfolio that have gaps in information, and these are the focus of the VRHRC-GNV:
The VRHRC-GNV will support the overall ORH mission to conduct, coordinate, promote, and disseminate research on care for rural Veterans and to develop, refine, and promulgate policies, best practices, lessons learned, and innovative and successful programs.
In addition, the VRHRC-GNV will provide technical assistance to the VA rural health community and, as needed, to others within VHA, on research design, statistical analysis, survey design, psychometrics, and qualitative methodology and on data extraction, management, and reporting.
- Improve independent living for rural Veterans.
- Strengthen rural workforce recruitment, retention, and education.
- Support rural policy analysis and strategic planning.
- Provide geospatial solutions using rural geographic database design and implementation.
The investigators who comprise the VRHRC-GNV team have worked on the following:

- Community Clergy Training to Support Rural Veterans’ Mental Health
- Rural Training Initiative
- Rural Veterans Tele-Rehabilitation Initiative
- VISN Needs and Priorities Study EWI.
