The Division of Ethics and Health Policy engages in a variety of efforts related to Health Policy analysis. We understand health policy as the process of policy trade-offs and negotiations over time, rather than simply discrete policy packages or products to be deployed by politicians and implemented by agencies.[i]  To begin with, all sorts of cultural, regional, historical, structural, situational, and epidemiological factors shape the emerging health issues that require policy interventions. Additionally, stakeholders in health policy-making all bring their various values, interests, experiences, and historical trajectories to the policy-making table.[ii] Finally, assorted values, ideologies, ethical theories, financial constraints, intellectual fashions, economic principles, and political contingencies drive the policy-making, policy-implementation, and policy-evaluation process.[iii] We understand Health Policy Research, to quote Nicholas Black, "less as problem solving than as a process of argument or debate to create concern and set the agenda."[iv] Consequently, we engage in both policy evaluation and policy formulation.
