Abstract
A database containing descriptive information on ongoing research projects in family practice has been developed by the Huffington Library of the Family Health Foundation of America. Between May 1983 and April 1985, 460 research projects and 661 researchers were added to the database. The data were gathered by a questionnaire sent to departments of family medicine, family practice residencies, and state chapter offices of the American Academy of Family Physicians. The projects in the database are described in several dimensions: funding sources; study categories; research design; data sources; study setting; gender and ages studied; and project topics, analyzed broadly by Medical Subject Heading terms.
