Research Into Policy & Practice Lecture Series

The Research Into Policy & Practice Lecture Series is presented twice annually with the goal of providing an opportunity to bring health services researchers and policy experts together to discuss how evidence and the literature can become infused in emerging or current policy topics to benefit public health.

The Department strategically selects both internal and external panelists that bring specific knowledge, research, or experience in a moderated discussion. Topics are diverse and also selected carefully to reflect current or new policy proposals or negotiations at the state or national level.
