Scholar Testimonials
Participating in the Investigator Awards in Health Policy Research program—first as an awardee and later as a member of the National Advisory Committee—has been one of the best parts of my academic life. It made it possible for me to do research that involved untested ideas and that crossed disciplines—research that would have been very difficult to do otherwise. And, through the annual meetings, I’ve been exposed to a very broad range of ideas and have enjoyed interacting with extremely creative people.
