We are committed to the Department’s mission: to advance science and improve population health. We pursue the discovery and dissemination of new knowledge in the fields of health informatics and implementation science. Our work focuses on clinical research informatics, consumer health informatics, public health informatics and the translation of evidence into practice. Our goal is to achieve sustained improvements in health outcomes.
Our research funding portfolio has included intramural grants and extramural grants from NIH, AHRQ, PCORI, VA QUERI, and others. Our faculty have affiliations with neighboring organizations, including the VA (Bedford and Central Western Mass), Worcester Polytechnic Institute, UMass Amherst School of Computer Science, and Boston University.
