Description
The Frontier Award is a special funding opportunity from the PhRMA Foundation, designed to advance the field of value assessment in health care by supporting empirical research that applies published value assessment frameworks to interventions such as drugs, devices, or other technologies. The program seeks projects that go beyond traditional outcomes, emphasizing patient-centered measures, real-world data, and meaningful engagement with patient groups. The ultimate goal is to foster collaborations among patients, researchers, and providers, and to generate evidence that informs decision-making in value-based health care. Funded studies are expected to culminate in peer-reviewed publications and presentations.
