PhD Scholarship opportunity: Applied Economics on Patient-Centred Evaluation of medical devices (PACE)

The Opportunity

The CHE and its collaborators have recently been awarded an Incorporating Patient Data in Health Technology Decision Making Grant under the 2025 Preventative and Public Health Research Initiative of the Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF). This grant will fund the PAtient-Centred Evaluation of medical devices (PACE) program for the next 5 years.

The PACE project aims to improve how medical technologies are assessed by involving patients and communities more deeply in the process. An important part of this project (WP-1) will be to understand the impact of patient data on funding decisions for medical technologies. We will do this by compiling and analysing a database of past funding decisions. PACE will also (WP-2) build an evidence-base of real patient experiences and preferences to guide decisions, ensuring health policies better reflect what matters to people. We will do this by conducting a series of survey-based experiments with pat...
