What is HSPR?
The University of Maryland School of Public Health's Health Systems and Policy Research (HSPR) Lab focuses on solving problems in our domestic and global health systems through rigorous research, evaluation, policy analysis, and quality improvement activities.
Project Spotlight
The HSPR Lab is currently supporting a multi-site study called Prevent COVID U, sponsored by NIAID and administered by the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center at the University of Washington. We aim to enroll community members aged 18-26 in a study to receive the Moderna vaccine and track the effectiveness of the vaccine in limiting disease spread.
