Associate Professor Mehdi Ammi is a health economist — in other words, a social scientist working in the field of health. In Canada, funding for health research comes by and large from the Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR). CIHR funds biomedical and clinical research, as well as health services and population health research. Prof. Ammi will reflect on the challenges, opportunities and (sometimes) successes that social scientists and public affairs researchers may encounter with CIHR, in a context where health will become an increasingly important field for public affairs disciplines.
About the Host
Prof. Ammi’s research spans health economics, applied microeconometrics, and health policy. His research is primarily quantitative, using a variety of methods (e.g., choice experiments) and data sources (e.g., survey and administrative data). He also uses other approaches, such as synthesis and comparative case studies, to study health policy relevant questions in Canada and abroad.
