The Brandeis-Harvard SPIRE Center continues a long-standing collaboration between the Institute for Behavioral Health at Brandeis University’s Schneider Institutes for Health Policy and Harvard Medical School’s Department of Health Care Policy that began in 1995. Each organization brings a unique set of substantive skills that strengthens the collective expertise offered by the Center. By sharing knowledge and resources across institutions, we create a whole greater than its parts, enhancing our ability to conduct high-quality health services research.
