Group aims
The NIHR Economics Group is committed to:
- creating and supporting peer-to-peer networks and working/interest groups
- identifying future opportunities to provide advice and training, promoting consistency across studies, maintaining standards and progressing methodology
- signposting towards areas of expertise
- identifying and spreading good practice and consistency in economics across NIHR
- acting as a professional voice for economists in NIHR, for example in consultations
- highlighting the positive role of NIHR in promoting economics in applied health and care research and providing support to other national and international funders to emulate this positive role.
Here, co-chair of the NIHR Economics Group, Prof Matt Sutton, gives his thoughts on what the purpose of the NIHR Economics Group is, and how it could benefit health and social care economics in the future.
