COLLABORATE WITH ICHEPI
Good Research Often Begins with a Shared Question
ICHEPI welcomes research collaboration around healthcare economics, policy, management, behavioral decision-making, health-system resilience, and healthcare innovation.
Collaboration may begin with a research question, a dataset, a methodological challenge, a health-system problem, or an idea that benefits from an interdisciplinary perspective.
Who We Work With
ICHEPI’s collaborative model is deliberately interdisciplinary and project-based.
01
Researchers & Academics
Joint studies, comparative research, methodological development, manuscript collaboration, and interdisciplinary research questions.
02
Universities & Research Units
Cross-institutional projects, comparative health-system research, academic exchange, and research development.
03
Healthcare Organizations
Research questions related to hospital efficiency, patient flow, workforce, capacity, innovation, operational performance, and system value.
04
Policy & Health-System Partners
Evidence synthesis, policy-relevant analysis, health-system benchmarking, resource-allocation questions, and knowledge translation.
WAYS TO COLLABORATE
Different Questions Require Different Forms of Collaboration
Joint Research
Co-development of research questions, study designs, analyses, manuscripts, and academic outputs.
Comparative Studies
Cross-country, cross-system, or cross-institutional research examining healthcare performance and policy variation.
Methods & Modelling
Economic modelling, simulation, quantitative analysis, methodological development, and reproducible analytical workflows.
Policy Analysis
Research translation, evidence interpretation, policy briefs, and decision-focused analytical outputs.
Data Collaboration
Projects using administrative, operational, public, or research datasets to investigate consequential health-system questions.
Research Translation
Transforming technical findings into accessible evidence for healthcare managers, researchers, and policy audiences.
WHAT ICHEPI BRINGS
An Interdisciplinary Research Perspective
01
Economic Reasoning
Attention to incentives, opportunity costs, efficiency, resource allocation, behavior, and value.
02
Health-System Perspective
Connecting individual organizational problems to broader questions of system performance, resilience, policy, and capacity.
03
Evidence Boundaries
Clear separation between empirical evidence, assumptions, interpretation, uncertainty, and policy implications.
04
Applied Translation
Connecting academic research with practical questions faced by healthcare organizations and decision-makers.
COLLABORATION PATHWAY
From Question to Project
Collaboration does not need to begin with a fully developed proposal. A focused problem or research question is often enough.
STEP 01
Define the Question
Identify the healthcare problem, decision, phenomenon, or evidence gap that deserves investigation.
STEP 02
Assess the Fit
Determine whether the question aligns with ICHEPI’s expertise, research agenda, available evidence, and potential collaborators.
STEP 03
Design the Approach
Clarify objectives, methods, data, roles, analytical boundaries, outputs, and responsibilities.
STEP 04
Build the Output
Develop the study, analysis, manuscript, policy output, model, or other agreed research product collaboratively.
Areas Particularly Suited to Collaboration
ICHEPI is especially interested in questions where economics, policy, management, and innovation intersect.
- Hospital efficiency and patient flow
- Healthcare resource allocation
- Behavioral health economics
- Health-system resilience
- Digital health and interoperability
- AI and healthcare innovation
- Workforce and organizational economics
- Value-based healthcare
- MENA health systems
START A CONVERSATION
Have a Research Question Worth Exploring?
A collaboration can begin with a short description of the problem, the setting, and why the question matters.
ICHEPI welcomes thoughtful conversations about research ideas that align with its interdisciplinary agenda.
