The USC Schaeffer Center’s mission is to measurably improve value in health through evidence-based policy solutions, research excellence,and private and public-sector engagement. 

Improving our healthcare system requires creative solutions,robust research methods and expertise in a variety of fields. A collaboration between the USC Price School of Public Policy and the USC Mann School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, the USC Schaeffer Center for Health Policy  Economics brings together health policy experts, a seasoned pharmacoeconomics team, faculty from across USC—including the Keck School of Medicine, the Dworak-Peck School of Social Work and the Viterbi School of Engineering—and affiliated researchers from other leading universities to solve the pressing challenges in healthcare.

Over the past couple of years the COVID-19 pandemic, as wellas the ongoing addiction crisis, a rapidly aging society, fiscal pressures, new drug-pricing challenges and disparities in care exacerbated by the pandemic have all served to highlight the complexities and issues of the U.S. healthcare system.

From its inception more than a decade ago, the USC Schaeffer Center has steadfastly pursued innovative solutions rooted in evidenced-based research to measurably improve value in health. Schaeffer faculty focus on work that informs lawmakers, media and private-sector leaders on today’s pressing healthcare challenges —and, most importantly, research that makes a real impact on improving the health of individuals.
