Description
The PhRMA Foundation’s Predoctoral Fellowship in Value Assessment-Health Outcomes Research (VA-HOR) is designed to support promising students (U.S. and non-U.S. citizens) during advanced stages of training and thesis research in value assessment and health outcomes research.
The PhRMA Foundation seeks research proposals that investigate challenges and potential solutions related to evaluating the delivery, safe use, effectiveness, and value (clinical, patient-centered, and economic) of medicines and other health care interventions. Proposals could be empirical analyses or studies addressing methodological aspects of the following areas:
- Clinical outcomes assessments
- Patient-reported and/or patient-centered outcomes, especially for diverse or underserved populations
- Patient health preferences research
- Clinical and economic outcomes using real-world data and analytic tools
- Evaluation and outcomes assessments focused on health equity or unmet need
- Innovative methods for measuring and reporting novel value elements (e.g., clinical, cost, health preference) from different stakeholder perspectives, especially patients
- Development of innovative decision and communication tools
- Patient- and equity-centered value assessment frameworks
- Health policy research
Proposals should incorporate patient engagement at an appropriate level to be considered responsive. A responsive application is one that has already incorporated or will incorporate “active, meaningful, and collaborative interaction between patients and researchers.”
