Research and Evaluation Projects

Boston Public Health Commission/AIDS Bureau

The Center’s longstanding relationship with the Boston Public Health Commission’s AIDS Bureau dates back to 1994.  The Center’s contract with the BPHC, which amounts to approximately $200,000 annually, focuses on measuring outcomes for Ryan White Title I services.  In addition, in 2003 the Center worked with the Department of Public Health on the “Voices of Experience” project.  “Voices of Experience” is the third consumer to consumer survey intended to assess the needs of people living with HIV (PLWH) in Massachusetts.

HSRI & MICH/MASS

Contracts with the Human Service Research Institute (HSRI) and the MICH/MASS project evaluate community and mental health services.  MICH/MASS is a collaborative study with the Heller School comparing Medicaid managed care and substance abuse programs in Michigan and Massachusetts.
