What are PhRMA Foundation Value Assessment Initiative Research Awards?
The PhRMA Foundation launched its value assessment Research Awards in 2018, providing $300,000 yearly to support three leading national researchers whose work is impacting the development of new value-based care models in the United States. The researchers received one-year grants of $100,000 to advance their work related to value-based care and cost-effectiveness in health care.
