The Center for Health Management Research (CHMR) is a unique collaborative venture that strives to effectively address the need for a well-crafted and efficient health care system in the United States. Founded in 1991, the Center became a National Science Foundation (NSF) sponsored Industry/University Cooperative Research Center in 1992. One of over 50 such centers in the United States, the Center for Health Management Research is the only center to receive this prestigious NSF designation in the field of health services administration.
Housed at the University of Washington School of Public Health and Community Medicine, Department of Health Services, and the University of California, Berkeley Center for Health Research, the Center operates under the leadership of Director Douglas A. Conrad, PhD (University of Washington) and Co-Director Thomas G. Rundall, PhD (University of California, Berkeley).
Underlying the formation of the Center is the belief that solving the nation's health care crisis starts with a solid foundation of research that combines the expertise of health care professionals and academic faculty. The Center's fifteen member universities and eleven industry sponsors work together to set the Center's research agenda, addressing key issues of interest and importance to both parties.
