The Institute for Health and Social Policy is a tri-faculty Institute of the Faculties of Medicine and Health Sciences, Arts, and Law, and a unit of the McGill School for Population and Global Health. It is a multidisciplinary institute for research, training, and cross-sectoral collaboration on issues of social policy, health, and well-being. Its activities focus on how policy is formulated and implemented across different contexts, and on how policy affects population health and well-being. The Institute aims to bring normative and empirical perspectives together in support of effective social policy.
