Description
The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), with support from the NIH, is organizing a research conference exploring disparities in health status and healthcare outcomes both within the United States and in comparison to other developed nations. The event will convene researchers to examine complex patterns of health inequalities, including both widening and narrowing gaps, and aims to generate insights that inform efforts to improve health and wellbeing across diverse population groups. The conference encourages submissions from a broad range of scholars, with a particular interest in early-career researchers and those not currently affiliated with the NBER.
