NHIA and the National Home Infusion Foundation (NHIF) are committed to advancing evidence-based research that strengthens home and alternate site infusion. We actively support independent researchers—including clinicians, pharmacists, nurses, administrators, and students—by identifying priority research areas, offering practical tools, and creating meaningful opportunities to share and publish findings.
This page brings together suggested research topics, publication opportunities, and resources to help you move from idea to impact.
Suggested Research Topics
To guide valuable and relevant research, NHIF has identified priority clinical and non-clinical research topics reflecting real-world challenges and opportunities in home and alternate site infusion. These suggested topics help align research efforts with areas of greatest need across patient care, operations, safety, outcomes, and performance improvement.
Research areas include (but are not limited to):
Research Topic Resources
Opportunities for Publication & Recognition
NHIA and NHIF offer multiple pathways to share your research with the home infusion community.
