Weill Cornell Medicine has been awarded a five-year, $8.1 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to support economic analysis, simulation modeling and other research approaches to help stem the national opioid epidemic. 

Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian have realigned the Department of Healthcare Policy and Research to address the intersection of research and practice. The newly named Department of Population Health Sciences, led by distinguished health services researcher, information scientist and leader Dr. Rainu Kaushal, aims to improve the health of populations through data-driven research, innovative technology and novel education programs.

Daily medication for treating opioid use disorder is more cost-effective compared with monthly injections, according to a study by Weill Cornell Medicine researchers.

By now, many people are familiar with the grim statistic that opioid overdoses are killing more than 115 Americans...

Dr. Kaushal is one of 78 women chosen by Crain’s New York Business to honor female professionals working in healthcare whose contributions have significantly influenced New York City. http://www.crainsnewyork.com/assets/pdf/CN11652782.PDFhttp://hpr.weill.cornell.edu/https://www.joinallofus.org/en/nyc
