The Realist Conference 2021 looks forward to partnering with key sponsors and supporters in the lead up to and during the conference.
International Realist Conference 2021 is supported by Georgia Health Policy Center
The Georgia Health Policy Center (GHPC), housed within Georgia State University’s Andrew Young School of Policy Studies, provides evidence-based research, program development, and policy guidance at the local, state, and national levels to advance health and well-being in communities around the world. The center takes a broad perspective on research that enables our applied work to simultaneously fulfill client needs and contribute to a research cycle that informs the broader field. Active in both health policy and health services research, GHPC has become a leader in the application of the realist framework to research, evaluation, and synthesis.
