Purpose

The RUPRI (Rural Policy Research Institute) Center for Rural Health Policy Analysis is one of eight Rural Health Research Centers funded by the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (ORHP). The mission of the Center is to provide timely analysis to federal and state health policy makers, based on the best available research. 

The research of the RUPRI Center focuses on rural health care financing/system reform, rural systems building, and meeting the health care needs of special rural populations. Specific objectives include: conducting original research and independent policy analysis that provides policy makers and others with a more complete understanding of the implications of health policy initiatives, and disseminating policy analysis that assures policy makers will consider the needs of rural health care delivery systems in the design and implementation of health policy.

The RUPRI Center for Rural Health Policy Analysis is based at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, in the Department of Preventive and Societal Medicine, Section on Health Services Research and Rural Health Policy. For more information about the Center and its publications, please contact:
