The Johns Hopkins Institute for Health and Social Policy explores the interaction between health and other areas of social policy to expand the understanding of human health and well-being and to generate evidence and insights that inform and influence decision-making.
The Institute provides a dynamic environment that encourages dialogue, learning and innovation amongst academic experts from a wide range of disciplines, practitioners, and decision-makers interested in research and its applications to health and social policy.
The Institute houses an internationally acclaimed Master in Public Policy (MPP) program, reputed for training students with outstanding analytic skills and the creativity to find politically feasible, socially desirable, and economically sustainable solutions to policy challenges.
To achieve its goals, the Institute develops partnerships with multiple groups and organizations, from within its surrounding community and throughout the global scene, leveraging the stature and resources of the Bloomberg School of Public Health, one of the world’s top research institutions.
