Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research

Founded in 1964, the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research (CHR) is focused on advancing knowledge to improve health. With 33 investigators, approximately 200 staff members, and annual revenues of more than $45 million, we pursue a vigorous agenda of public health research within large, diverse populations. Most of our funding comes from federal grants and contracts. We also receive support from Kaiser Permanente’s Community Health Initiative, private foundations, and industry. Our research scientists are a highly diverse and skilled group with specialties ranging from cancer to genetics and genomics to health economics to epidemiology. Centralized departments provide the infrastructure and expertise necessary to support our investigators as they write grant proposals, conduct studies, analyze data, and publish their findings. Our close affiliation with the Kaiser Permanente delivery system allows us to conduct studies with real patients and health care providers in real-life settings. KP Northwest enrolls more than 500,000 health plan members and 200,000 dental members in Oregon and Southwest Washington. In addition, we cultivate strong working partnerships with academic institutions, community organizations, and other health systems.
