Overview
The Center for Climate, Health, and Healthcare (https://rutgershealth.org/schools-centers-institutes/center-climate-health-healthcare) is on a mission to improve the health and healthcare of people and communities in New Jersey, nationally, and globally by combatting the climate health crisis through research, education, and climate action. This groundbreaking center is a collaboration between Rutgers Health and RWJBarnabas Health, based within the Rutgers Institute for Health, Health Care Policy, and Aging Research. RH-RWJBH CCHH is a new joint Center co-directed by Dr. Soko Setoguchi (RH) and Mr. Glenn Miller (RWJBH) established in November 2024. It is physically based in the Institute for Health, Health Care Policy and Aging Research (IFH) in New Brunswick.
Founded in 1985 and located on the Rutgers campus in New Brunswick, New Jersey, the IFH is a vibrant, multidisciplinary organization dedicated to scholarly collaboration and research that focuses on critical questions related to healthcare services and policy, population health, aging, and health, and mental health. Its core and associate members include 82 outstanding faculty who have generated award-winning scholarship that has influenced fields including medical sociology, economics, health psychology, gerontology, history of medicine, nursing, public health, psychiatry, global health, health services, medicine, social work, pharmacy, medical ethics, and health policy. Several research centers exist within the IFH including the Center for State Health Policy; Center for Health Services Research; and Center for Pharmacoepidemiology and Treatment Science (PETS). Faculty members have held research and training grants funded by the National Institutes of Health, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and other major funding organizations. The IFH has served as home to six faculty elected to the National Academy of Medicine. Faculty are actively involved in mentoring future scholars at the undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate level. The Institute is housed in a 57,000 square foot, state-of-the-art, custom-built academic and research facility located in the heart of New Brunswick, a diverse city with easy access to public transportation to New York City and Philadelphia.
The IFH has faculty and other researchers with considerable expertise in the social and clinical sciences, health research and policy, pharmacoepidemiology, public health, and related fields. The faculty have exceptional capacity to address the most pressing health and healthcare challenges. Considerable expertise exists in the analysis of large, integrated health-related clinical and administrative datasets, national surveys, Medicaid, Medicare, and other private insurance data with the application of social science theory and advanced statistical techniques.
CCHH, IFH, and the substantial resources of Rutgers University offer a rich collaborative environment for conducting research in climate and health.
