Lee resigned as Chancellor in 1973, but remained at UCSF to establish the Health Policy Program (HPP) and serve as the program's first director. Reorganization as an Organized Research Group, called the Institute for Health Policy Studies (IHPS), was first mentioned in correspondence dated September 1977, but the letterhead does not reflect this change until August 1981. In 1977 the HPP was also designated the National Health Services Policy Analysis Center by the federal government. It includes materials documenting the founding of the Health Policy Program in 1972 through its designation as the national Health Services Policy Analysis Center and its official designation as an organized research unit within the University of California. The correspondence in this series, again, consists primarily of carbons of outgoing correspondence. Topics covered include discussion of Lee's and the Institute's teaching programs, Lee's involvement with the Sun Valley Forum (also documented in the Chancellor series), the Human Sexuality Program, drug dumping and the Third World Drug Study, and other social and medical issues. There is some material on Lee's 1973 Medical Mission to China. Also included are research files and draft copies of several of Lee's major books: Pills and the Public Purse,Drugs and Elderly, and Deliberations and Compromise.
