FOOTE CALL FOR PROPOSALS
The
Perry A. Foote Program in Health Outcomes and Pharmacoeconomics
seeks proposals from University of Florida faculty, post-doctoral
fellows, and graduate students for small grants to support
the development of new research projects.
The
purpose of the Program is to support the development of
research at the University of Florida and SHANDS HealthCare
in Health Outcomes and Pharmacoeconomics. The Program
seeks to accomplish this goal by supporting the development
of proposals likely to attract outside funding in the
future.
For
the purposes of this call for proposals, "health
outcomes " are defined as the end result of the provision
of health services to patients and their families, and
include a broad range of phenomena, from morbidity and
death, to health status and functional status, to patient
satisfaction and health related quality of life. "Pharmacoeconomics"
takes a comparative approach to outcomes and costs of
drug therapy, taking into consideration description and
analysis of costs of drug therapy and its sequels. Common
methods used are cost-minimization, cost-benefit, cost-effectiveness
and cost- utility analysis
Eligibility

for a maximum of $5,000 each are available for graduate
students. No indirect costs are required.
Award
funds may be used for data collection and analysis of

computer hardware, faculty salary or for travel to conferences.
