Interest Groups

AcademyHealth Interest Groups facilitate interaction of individuals around specific topic areas relating to health services research and health policy. Interest Group members have an opportunity to exchange knowledge, disseminate research findings, inform policy and clinical decision-making, build research skills, and network with those sharing common goals.

Interest Group members have the opportunity to meet online and face-to-face. Through the Interest Group Web-based discussion forums, members can connect with and learn from their colleagues across the country. Each Interest Group is provided with a Web-based discussion forum to facilitate on-going communication throughout the year, and each forum is moderated by members of the Interest Group. Interest Groups also meet annually at AcademyHealth meetings.

Interest Group Communication Tool
AcademyHealth members have the opportunity to connect with and learn from their colleagues across the country via Interest Group-specific listservs. Each Interest Group (IG) member is granted access to this members-only benefit in order to facilitate on-going communication throughout the year.

This communication tool is only available to IG members. To join the conversation, join an IG.

For new members, please allow five business-days before being added to the listservs.

If you have IG-specific questions or questions related to the transition, please contact interest.group@academyhealth.org.

Advisory Committees

Each Interest Group is governed by volunteer members that help facilitate membership engagement and plan events throughout the year. The advisory committee is selected through an application process that takes place each summer.
