Center For Innovative Public Health Research is a woman-owned, non-profit organization registered in SAM.gov, located in San Clemente, California. The organization specializes in developing and implementing research programs focused on adolescent health, technology, and behavioral interventions, with a particular emphasis on utilizing digital communication methods like text messaging and online surveys to conduct innovative public health studies. As a research-oriented non-profit, the organization works closely with federal agencies to design and execute comprehensive research projects that address critical health challenges facing youth populations.

The organization has received multiple federal grants from agencies including the National Institute of Mental Health, National Institute of Nursing Research, National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, and National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. Their research projects predominantly focus on adolescent health issues, including social media's impact on mental health, HIV prevention, sexual health for gender-diverse youth, bullying prevention, and understanding how factors like alcohol use interact with health outcomes. Specific grant-funded projects have involved developing technology-based intervention programs such as text messaging interventions for HIV prevention among sexual minority youth, exploring bi-directional relationships between social media and mental health, and creating gender-inclusive sexual health programs for transgender adolescents. The organization collaborates with academic institutions and researchers, as evidenced by sub-awards involving partnerships with entities like the University System of New Hampshire, and consistently employs innovative methodological approaches including online focus groups, longitudinal surveys, and artificial intelligence-assisted data analysis.
