J. Obtaining Health Economics Expertise

1. How can I get a health economist to work on my project?

The Health Economics Resource Center offers training and consulting services to VA health economists and VA researchers needing health economics expertise. Due to the great demand for health economics expertise, HERC economists do not ordinarily respond to requests for consulting assistance by becoming involved as co-investigators. HERC maintains a list of VA health economists, including key words listing their research interests.

To help build a community of health economists, HERC maintains a list of health economics experts listing their geographic locations and areas of expertise. HERC economists often refer to this list when planning studies or when asked to recommend an economist to researchers developing a funding proposal.
