Dr. Miller's research focuses on understanding the determinants and effects of federal and state policies affecting vulnerable populations, including the frail and disabled elderly, mentally ill, veterans, and urban underserved. Whereas the conceptual focus of his studies is in state politics and policy, intergovernmental relations, organizational theory, program evaluation and implementation, the substantive focus is primarily in aging and long-term care, and telemedicine and e-health.
