Center for Health Policy Partner Programs

The Center for Health Policy welcomes faculty interest in faculty affiliation from across HSC and from external academic organizations. Affiliate Faculty of the Center for Health Policy have to be actively contributing to or collaborating on at least one of the various research, education, community, policy and other activities of the Center.  Contributing Partners are individuals who contribute or collaborate on the activities of CHP, but as faculty of an external institution.

Program Benefits:

  • Ability to cite the partner affiliation.
  • Inclusion on the partner program web page.
  • Grant preparation and management of collaborative grants.
  • Communications and dissemination including policy briefs.
  • Early access to event and conference registrations.
  • Networking and collaboration events and opportunities as our pool of affiliate faculty and contributing partners grows.

Appointments to both partner programs possess one year terms that are reviewed at the beginning of each institutional fiscal year.  For questions relevant to either of the partner programs, please contact Director of Operations, Chaz England.
