The Value Assessment Research Awards offer varying levels up to $100,000 in research support for a one-year period beginning January 2020.

Award opportunities are open to all individuals and organizations with training in health economics, outcomes research, clinical sciences or health care evaluation. Eligible applicants should hold an advanced degree in a field of study logically or functionally related to the proposed activities, such as a PhD or equivalent.
