The U-M Medical School Department of Learning Health Sciences convenes the Learning Health Sciences (LHS) Collaboratory: a hub for advancing interdisciplinary research and development of learning health systems at the U-M Medical School in partnership with the Office of Research, the Institute for Healthcare Policy & Innovation (IHPI), and the Michigan Institute for Clinical and Health Research (MICHR).
Through collaboration, we are strengthening U-M’s opportunities for federal funding along with attracting foundations and donors for additional opportunities.
The LHS Collaboratory’s approach to improving individual and population health will make U-M a leader in the national and international movements to achieve learning health systems at organizational, regional, and national scales.
