The central finding is that while clinicians desire various forms of research involvement, significant barriers like lack of protected time and systemic support persist.
Key barriers included lack of protected time or compensation, and insufficient formal support from leadership and researchers. The study noted its limitations, including a low response rate (16%), a lack of racial/ethnic diversity in the sample, and its applicability being potentially unique to the salaried VA system. Implications suggest that to strengthen clinician-researcher collaboration, health systems must prioritize and formally support clinician involvement in research.
