Secondary Data Sources and Funding
For the proposed research topic of analgesia, appropriate data can be obtained from a myriad of secondary sources. Healthcare organizational data and online healthcare resource will provide invaluable data to conduct the comparative study on analgesia effectively. To effectively maximize the output and the quality of the research, a large number of online published randomized controlled trials (RCTs), meta-analyses and data from a considerable number of local healthcare facilities are appraised and analyzed.
Fortunately, there is a large number of electronic databases with publicly available health-related publications. A few of these public access databases include the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR), the World Health Organization (WHO) Global Health Observatory Data Depository, and the United States Census Bureau (Cheng & Phillips, 2014). The information available on these and many other online platforms make it possible for researchers who are willing, skilled and with the necessary resources to carry out additional work on the research topics and consequently advancing the healthcare discipline.
The local healthcare facilities can also provide the necessary data regarding patients with various clinical conditions. As a result, interested researchers will analyze the extracted data to synthesize information that best suits their research hypotheses.

The proposed research will employ the research question approach that looks for the most relevant datasets from a number of both private and public hospitals.
There exists a large number of federal research funding programs in the United States help individual researchers and research firms with varying needs and capacities to conduct healthcare-related research effectively. The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) offers the most appropriate and funding programs, research training, and career development programs (Funding Opportunities, 2018). Its large arrays of research support programs including the K-series programs are available for prospective researchers working on healthcare related topics and most preferably those focusing on mental health.
