Shihyun Noh, PhD, is an associate professor of public administration at the State University of New York College at Brockport. He received his PhD from the University of Nebraska at Omaha and his MA and BA from Yonsei University. His research interests include health policy and administration, intergovernmental implementation of federal programs, and state and local government administration.

Noh’s recent research covers various pertinent subjects, including how contracted health services affect health outcomes, such as quality of life and life expectancy, the factors affecting state operation of all-payer claims databases (APCDs), the impact of Medicaid expansion on county health spending, and the relationship between contracting out and local financial condition. As part of his fellowship, he will investigate how state and local governments can effectively address public health challenges, focusing on state public health governance and price transparency.
