News for the IHPI Community
SEPTEMBER 2019

Registration is coming soon! This annual member event provides an important opportunity for our large and diverse community of health services research faculty to network, stay in-the-know on IHPI's plans and priorities, and celebrate individual and collective accomplishments.


Has your work or that of a fellow IHPI member had policy or practice impact? Each year, the IHPI Impact Accelerator Award recognizes IHPI faculty members, regardless of career stage, who have demonstrated a commitment to making a policy or practice impact with their work.


The National Clinician Scholars Program at IHPI seeks a co-director to serve as part of the top leadership team for this premier healthcare research and policy training program, run in collaboration with Duke, Penn, UCLA, UCSF, and Yale.
