RAND and UCLAsigned a partnership agreement that will strengthen joint research and training efforts on initiatives to improve the quality of health care in America.

The agreement extends and expands a 30-year-old association between UCLA and RAND that has helped to create one of the nation’s most respected health care policy research and training programs in the nation. The agreement also broadens the ability of UCLA faculty to participate in research projects at RAND, and commits RAND’s researchers to expand their role in health policy training programs at UCLA.

UCLA includes the David Geffen school of Medicine, UCLA Medical Center, the UCLA Neurophsychiatric Institute and Hospital, Mattel Children’s Hospital, Santa Monica/UCLA Medical Center, and the UCLA School of Public Health.
