      agenda.

AB  - A national public health department accreditation program was recently developed 
      and implemented by the Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB) to improve the 
      quality and performance of public health departments. Because of its potential to 
      transform public health, it is critical that the evidence base around 
      accreditation be strong. With input from public health practitioners and 
      researchers, PHAB developed a research agenda that highlights priority questions 
      related to barriers and facilitators to seeking and obtaining accreditation, the 
      PHAB standards and review process, metrics to determine the impact of 
      accreditation, and benefits and outcomes associated with accreditation for the 
      departments that undergo the process. We present that agenda, discuss the 
      potential challenges of conducting accreditation research, and call on 
      researchers to build a greater base of evidence related to accreditation.
