Research Programs

At the moment, health care is often one-size-fits-all. But imagine a future where prevention, treatment, and care are tailored for YOU. That future starts with research that includes all of us.
How? By creating a resource that allows researchers to conduct thousands of studies on health and disease

INSIGHT Clinical Research Network, formerly known as the NYC-CDRN, offers users a large volume of robust, high-quality patient data including clinical, claims and social determinant data, along with support services to improve and streamline research in an effort to advance patient-centered research in New York City. INSIGHT has data on over 22 million patients, with 12 million unique patients eligible for trial enrollment. The project is a unique collaboration of more than 20 medical institutions and organizations. INSIGHT is currently funded by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI).

The Center for Health Economics of Treatment Interventions for Substance Use Disorders, HCV, and HIV (CHERISH) is a multi-institutional Center of Excellence, funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse. The Center’s mission is to develop and disseminate health economic research on healthcare utilization, health outcomes and health-related behaviors that informs substance use disorder treatment policy and HCV and HIV care of people who use substances. To increase the impact of this research, we support researchers in addressing the needs of integrated healthcare system providers and payers. The Center is a collaboration among Weill Cornell Medicine, Boston Medical Center, the University of Pennsylvania, and the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.

The Medical Device Epidemiology Network (MDEpiNet) is a global Public-Private Partnership that brings together leadership, expertise and resources from health care professionals, industry, patient groups, payers, academia and government to build a national patient-centered medical device evaluation system to conduct medical device research and surveillance. MDEpiNet’s main activities include:

1. Conducting studies to better understand how devices perform in the real-world.
2. Developing methodologies to support the use and creation of real world evidence.
3. Building strategically Coordinated Registry Networks (CRN) to advance the collection and use of real-world data.
4. Collaborating with NESTcc to link CRNs with other data partner networks.

 MDEpiNet envisions a future with more efficient medical device studies and greater patient, clinician and public trust in medical devices.

The Physicians Foundation Center for the Study of Physician Practice and Leadership (CPPL) was founded in 2018 by Weill Cornell Medicine Professor Emeritus Dr. Lawrence Casalino with the goal of bringing about the conditions that best enable physicians and health care organizations to improve the health of individual patients and the U.S. population by providing high-quality, compassionate, cost-effective care.  

The Center conducts empirical research and produces conceptual articles to clarify key issues in medicine, health care, and public policy. Its current efforts focus on the intended and unintended consequences of payment reforms; consolidation and corporatization in American health care; health care disparities and socially vulnerable populations; the growing use of telehealth and artificial intelligence in medicine; and physician professionalism and leadership.

The Center is made possible by a grant from the Physicians Foundation, a non-profit organization that empowers physicians to lead in the delivery of high-quality, cost-efficient health care, and by contributions from Weill Cornell Medicine, one of the top-ranked clinical and medical research centers in the United States. Dr. Dhruv Khullar, practicing physician and Assistant Professor of Population Health Sciences in the Division of Health Policy and Economics, is the Center’s current Director.

Pediatric Epilepsy Learning Healthcare System (PELHS) collects administrative and clinical data entered at the point of care, aggregates and analyzes the data across multiple sites, then regularly reports findings back to sites to continuously improve care. Due to the large number of individuals with epilepsy, the heterogeneity of the epilepsies, and the diversity of advocacy groups for common and rare epilepsies, PELHS offers novel opportunities to the LHS design.  

Mission

Reduce seizures and their consequences for children with epilepsy through cycles of health data collection and analysis, dissemination of new evidence and practice change.

Vision

All children with epilepsy receive timely and optimal care according to standards that are continuously improved.
