Value Assessment Initiative (VAI) – Challenge Awards
As a part of its overall Value Assessment Initiative, the PhRMA Foundation has established the Value Assessment Challenge Awards to help promote leadership and innovative approaches to determining value in health care.
The Challenge Awards annually seek proposals from researchers that respond to a specific value-related question in health care. The 2020 Challenge Awards pose the following question:
“What approaches are needed to consistently and reliably incorporate patient-centered outcomes in value assessment for both population- and individual-level health care decision-making?”
Applicants for Challenge Awards are asked to submit papers that address this question.
