The Geiger Gibson/RCHN Community Health Foundation Research Collaborative has produced studies and analyses across a broad range of issues:
A new report by the Geiger Gibson/RCHN Community Health Foundation Research Collaborative finds that repeal of key provisions of the Affordable Care Act, combined with a failure to renew critical funding streams, would result in catastrophic funding losses for community health centers– forcing these safety net providers to cut back on services, lay off staff or shut down clinical sites.
A new report prepared by the Geiger Gibson/RCHN Community Health Foundation Research Collaborative examines how health centers and state Medicaid programs in a number of Medicaid expansion states are working to reform Medicaid in order to promote efficiency and quality, and more actively integrate health centers into states’ broader payment reform efforts.

A new brief from the Geiger Gibson/RCHN Community Health Foundation Research Collaborative examining newly-released data from the 2014 Uniform Data System (UDS) shows how the Affordable Care Act is changing insurance coverage and health care in the nation’s most medically underserved urban and rural communities.

An analysis carried out by researchers at the Geiger Gibson/RCHN Community Health Foundation Research Collaborative at the George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health (Milken Institute SPH) shows that health centers served over 350,000 CHIP beneficiaries in 2013, one in twenty-five CHIP beneficiaries that year. In certain states however, community health centers cared for anywhere from 10 to 38 percent of patients enrolled in CHIP.
A new report issued by the Geiger Gibson/RCHN Community Health Foundation Research Collaborative and the Jacobs Institute of Women’s Health, based at the Milken Institute School of Public Health (Milken Institute SPH) at the George Washington University, describes how payment reform could improve family planning services offered by the nation’s community health centers.
