Pulse of the Purchaser Research Institute
Make the employer voice heard in healthcare research — while supporting NCBCH.
Employers have a unique perspective on healthcare — what is working, where challenges remain, and what changes could make healthcare more affordable, accessible and effective for employees and their families.
The Pulse of the Purchaser Research Institute (PPRI) gives employers an opportunity to bring that perspective directly into national healthcare research.
Developed by the National Alliance of Healthcare Purchaser Coalitions in partnership with the Health Analytics and Insights Group (HAIG), PPRI brings together an expert panel of employers and healthcare purchasers whose perspectives can inform a variety of research projects.
Why Participate?
Share Your Perspective
Bring the real-world employer and purchaser perspective into research on healthcare issues that affect organizations, employees and families.
Help Shape the Conversation
Your participation helps researchers and healthcare stakeholders better understand the priorities, experiences and concerns of employers.
Support NCBCH
Participation in PPRI research helps provide financial support for both the National Alliance and participating local coalitions, including NCBCH.
How It Works

Hear About Research Opportunities
As relevant research projects become available, PPRI participants may be invited to share their perspectives.
Participate When It Makes Sense for You
Research may include surveys, interviews or other ways of gathering employer insights. You can decide which opportunities are appropriate for you.
Your Participation Also Supports NCBCH
PPRI isn't only about collecting employer perspectives. The program also provides financial support to the National Alliance and local coalitions when their employer members participate in research.
By participating through NCBCH, you're helping strengthen the employer voice nationally while also supporting NCBCH's work to educate, advocate and innovate on behalf of North Carolina employers.
Who Should Consider Joining?
PPRI is particularly relevant for employer representatives involved in healthcare benefits, total rewards, human resources, wellbeing, finance, benefits strategy or other areas that give them insight into their organization's healthcare priorities and experience.
Joining the Institute does not mean you need to participate in every research opportunity. It simply gives you the opportunity to contribute when a project is relevant to you and your organization.
