About the Center for Health Policy Research

The Center for Health Policy Research (CHPR), founded in 1990, is dedicated to providing policymakers, public health officials, health care administrators and advocates with the information and ideas they need to improve access to quality, affordable health care and to improve health. Our faculty and research staff include seasoned health policy and public health researchers, economists, lawyers, clinicians, advocates, and former federal and state policy officials. As a key component of the Department of Health Policy and Management within Milken Institute School of Public Health, CHPR has a research and policy agenda that spans a wide range of timely topics mirroring our areas of study; this provides maximum research-based learning for students.
