Focusing on key health topics for maximum impact
Our research portfolio features hundreds of studies on a broad range of topics. Within this body of work are several areas of focus, or research strengths. Significant expertise, investment and partnerships in these areas lead to success in funding, growth and dissemination of findings.
These strengths align with local and national priorities in science, health and well-being. They also support HealthPartners’ priorities of improving health, experience and affordability for members, patients and the community.

Ensuring the rigor of research
We cannot have high-quality research without research integrity. Integrity goes beyond avoiding misconduct or the mistreatment of research subjects. It requires us to pay attention to how our research is conducted, ensuring high quality throughout the process, from research project planning, through implementation, analyses and dissemination.
