HSC and MPR
ince its founding, HSC has been a sister organization
to Mathematica Policy Research, Inc. Both
organizations share a strong commitment to producing
objective, high-quality policy research and
providing sound information for decision makers.
MPR has conducted some of the most important
evaluations of key federal, state and local public
programs and demonstrations. These studies have
focused on issues across the life span, from children's
health and welfare to long-term care for the elderly.
In addition to shared values, both organizations are housed in the same Washington, D.C., location and have a common administrative infrastructure, including contracting, human resources, accounting/ payroll and facilities management. MPR also has offices in Princeton, N.J., Cambridge, Mass., and Columbia, Md.
MPR staff are key contributors to HSC's data collection and analysis work. MPR conducts the CTS Household Survey and Insurer Followback Survey on behalf of HSC and oversees management of the Physician Survey. In addition, HSC draws on MPR staff for specialized assistance, including Frank Potter and other statisticians. Debra Draper, Sue Felt-Lisk, Glen Mays and other MPR researchers actively participate in HSC's site visits.
