Health Research and Policy Center
The AIR Health Research and Policy Center identifies and answers important and timely questions about the cost and quality of care, people’s access to care, and health disparities, among other pressing issues.
Informing Policy, Improving Lives
The Health Research and Policy Center—along with the $225 million AIR Opportunity Fund—demonstrates AIR’s commitment to mission-driven, self-funded research to inform public policy and enhance health outcomes and community well-being. Our goal is to deliver timely insights by analyzing data and translating research findings into actionable information for policymakers through issue briefs, research briefs, and other publications, including peer-reviewed journal articles.
The center’s purpose is to provide independent, nonpartisan research and analysis for policymakers and other stakeholders, including consumers and patients, providers and payers, and the public. While AIR leverages expertise gained through work with federal, state, foundation, and industry clients, all center work is funded solely by AIR.
Our Work
Spanning health research and policy topics from costs and quality to access and disparities, center researchers identify promising policy interventions and analyze spending and utilization trends using leading-edge data science, data sets, and technology tools.
