Dr. Diaby and Colleagues Place Third in PhRMA Foundation’s Diversity Award Contest

Vakaramoko “Karam” Diaby, Ph.D., M.Sc., an assistant professor of pharmaceutical outcomes and policy in the University of Florida College of Pharmacy, led a team of researchers who placed third in the PhRMA Foundation’s Challenge Award contest aimed at addressing health disparities and underrepresented groups in value assessment.

“This work advances the debate on the integration of diversity and equity in value assessments of health care technologies from both a methodological and health policy viewpoint,” Diaby said. “Specifically, we propose a range of solutions to address the limitations of existing value assessment frameworks, starting from the generation of appropriate elements of value, equity data to the adoption of robust data aggregation methods.”
