Integrating Economic Analysis into NIH Funded Research, was held on September 11, 2012 by the NIH Health Economics Common Fund. In this webinar, three invited experts explored ways of integrating economic analysis into clinical research. A well-designed study of acute coronary syndrome and depression was re-examined in light of economic concepts and analysis. A lively and enlightening conversation among the featured speakers ensued concerning how economic analysis could be integrated into clinical research at the study design phase and the advantages of that for clinical research. Speakers concluded the webinar by addressing questions from online participants.
