In our applied research, we:
- Synthesize existing evidence to identify innovative and effective strategies to improve population health.
- Evaluate interventions to inform organization and policy level change.
- Design and execute research studies to bring timely and relevant knowledge to the health care system and policymakers.
- Work with diverse stakeholders, including state government, community-based organizations, employers, payers, health care providers, and consumers to tackle today’s most pressing health care delivery and policy challenges.
- Conduct both short and long-term projects, tailoring the scope and timeline to the needs of the problem, project, and stakeholders.
