IHPS is an organized research unit established by the President and Regents of the University of California. The primary goals of IHPS are: to conduct policy-oriented research and analysis on a wide range of health issues; to apply research findings to health policy issues at the national, state, and local levels; and to provide education and training opportunities in health policy and health services research. IHPS faculty have their appointments in all four schools at UCSF (medicine, pharmacy, nursing, and dentistry). Faculty, research staff, and fellows represent and apply a broad range of clinical and social science disciplines and methods in their research and teaching.
