InHealth Research

InHealth funds independent, peer-reviewed research studies that expand the understanding of the socio-economic role of medical technology.

Research topics are reviewed and recommended by InHealth’s Research Council, a panel of noted scholars and professionals within the health care community.

The lead investigators for InHealth studies and education programs are prominent experts in their respective fields.

• In 2004, InHealth commissioned a literature review and bibliography with NORC/University of Chicago to catalogue references and resources demonstrating the value of medical technology and health care. Click here to access the full report.

• In 2006, InHealth awarded two major grants to Stanford University - Medical School and Stanford University - Program in Biodesign.
• In 2008, InHealth awarded grants totaling more than $1.2 million to academic researchers at Johns Hopkins University, Northwestern University, Medical College of Georgia and Tufts University.
• In 2009, $1.4 million was awarded to investigators at the University of Southern California, Northwestern University, and Stanford University.

To ensure the quality and integrity of its research, InHealth’s Board of Directors adopted the Uniform Requirements for Biomedical Journal Manuscripts, issued by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors. This governing policy protects investigators from the influence of special interests and assures bias-free methodologies and complete reporting of results/findings.
