HIRP
The Health Insurance Reform Project (HIRP) was a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization at the George Washington University, founded in 1995 to foster improvements in health insurance and health care. The papers developed by HIRP staff and consultants were intended to stimulate discussion of emerging trends and policy proposals. As a courtesy to the health policy community, selected papers published by HIRP from 1995 to 2007 are available here. From 2005 through 2012, HIRP was home to the "Rapid Learning Health System" project, supported by grants from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
