The SIR Foundation — Harvey L. Neiman Health Policy Institute Cost-effectiveness and Quality Outcomes Research Grant is designed for observational studies and secondary data analyses evaluating the use of image guided minimally invasive therapies in real-world settings. Examples of the types of projects this initiative supports include (but are not limited to), cost modeling studies, decision analyses, case-control studies, retrospective observational studies or secondary analyses of existing data. Prospective clinical trials and prospective hypothesis driven research are not supported by this grant mechanism. Applicants should propose research that advances the field of interventional radiology and evaluates the cost, cost-effectiveness, and quality outcomes of IR interventions. Closed June 30, 2014
Harvey L. Neiman Health Policy Institute FY2013 Call for Proposals
The Neiman Institute is interested in funding seed projects in four areas of interest: value of imaging, alternative health care models, imaging and quality, and the economics of practice. We are highly interested in broadening the base of researchers examining the economics of medical imaging and, as such, is particularly interested in funding junior researchers in hopes that Neiman Institute funding may serve as seed grants for pursuing larger research efforts in the future.
