IVMF uses inquiry to advance national practice and policies supporting America’s military-connected community. We do this through applied and translational research, program evaluation, and data solutions that provide insight and empower action. Explore and discover more in our IVMF-authored publications.

Our multi-disciplinary team of applied social science research professionals conduct independent and sponsored nonpartisan research to identify gaps in knowledge, policy, and practice, and deliver action-oriented solutions for our partners. Our research team informs IVMF programs, guides future direction, and empowers action across the veteran and military-connected community. Reports and other publications are included here in the Digital Library, but additional information about current projects is available on the project website.

IVMF publishes certain products on a regular basis to keep you informed on timely trends. These series include monthly reports on veteran employment, recent advances in research on the military-connected community, and IVMF’s missing perspectives research briefs that focus on special populations.
