Training Material Brief description Subject matter expert(s)
Health Economics Concepts for Health Researchers A web-based training (3-modules over 90 minutes) providing an overview of healthcare system economics within LMICs and offers researchers ideas about incorporating that information into their healthcare research studies and proposals so as to better inform healthcare policy and decision-making. The intended audience is primarily healthcare researchers wanting their research to have an increased relevance to their specific country’s economic environment but others interested in the impact of health economics on healthcare research will also benefit from the training.
