Reproductive Health and impact of Budgets on Health Outcomes has been one of the dominant areas of CBPS research work. Public Expenditure Analysis has also been conducted to understand how various income groups access public health care facilities.

Two rounds of evaluation for enrolment under the Rashtriya Swastha Bima Yojana (RSBY) have been conducted in Karnataka. Public Expenditure Analysis in Karnataka for the period 2001- 02 to 2012-13 was undertaken, with a focus on health of children in different age-groups (0-5 years, 6- 14 years and 15-18 years).
