Description
The PhRMA Foundation’s fellowship supports individuals in multidisciplinary, collaborative postdoctoral research training at accredited U.S. universities. It aims to extend researchers’ credentials in value assessment and health outcomes research through studies addressing the delivery, safe use, effectiveness, and value of medicines and other health care interventions.
Supported work includes empirical analyses and methodological studies of clinical and patient-reported outcomes, health preferences, and clinical and economic outcomes using real-world data. Other areas include health equity and unmet need, novel value elements from stakeholder perspectives—especially patients—and patient-centered value assessment frameworks. Innovative decision and communication tools and empirical health policy research are also within scope. Meaningful engagement is central: patients, caregivers, or clinicians must be involved, rather than patients serving only as study subjects.
