Institute of Health Policy & Politics (IHPP)

The Institute of Health Policy & Politics (IHPP) conducts research, academic and professional training on political analysis and policy-making processes while raising awareness about the role of domestic and international health policy-making and the broader political contexts influencing population health. 

Professional training will occur among undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, Lehigh University faculty and external organizations. IHPP will also provide historical and real-time, data-driven resources for domestic and foreign healthcare organizations. IHPP aims to support the creation and implementation of more informed, timely, and equitable policies while informing the local community regarding how they can effectively engage with the policy process.

Research Areas
