The State-University Partnership Model
Increasingly, research centers at public universities are partnering with their Medicaid agencies to conduct data-driven policy analysis and support program development, monitoring, and evaluation. These state-university partnerships allow for leveraging of university-based evaluation and research expertise. These partnerships can offer new opportunities for cross-disciplinary research and engaged scholarship involving faculty from medicine, public health, public policy, data science, economics, and other disciplines. There are currently 30 state-university partnerships across the United States.
