We are CEVR, the Center for Evaluation of Value and Risk in Health

CEVR is a leader on issues pertaining to value, cost-effectiveness, and risk tradeoffs in health care decisions. We inform national clinical and public health policy issues through our analysis of the benefits, risks and costs of strategies to improve health and health care.

Our organization is a member of the Institute for Clinical Research and Health Policy Studies at Tufts Medical Center, Boston. We undertake scientific research projects, advance methods development for the field, train the next generation of practitioners and users, and work with policymakers worldwide to develop reasoned policy solutions.
