Lister Hill Center for Health Policy: Federally endowed in 1987, the Lister Hill Center has a university-wide mission to facilitate the conduct of health policy research, to disseminate the findings of that research beyond the usual channels of academic publication, and to sponsor the Lister Hill Health Policy Fellows program. The center draws on scholars from throughout the university to address issues of health care access, financing, organization, delivery, and outcomes, with particular emphasis on prevention strategies. The center publishes UAB Health Policy Research, a précis of policy research for regional and national policy makers. It sponsors an intramural grants program in health policy/health services research. Current areas of research include health care markets and managed care, maternal and child health, aging policy, application of management strategies to public health organizations, and health care outcomes.
