Knowledge is Power
Having access to the latest data and funding opportunities is crucial to propel your research forward. Through membership with AcademyHealth, you gain an edge with interactive training courses and skill-building member-only webinars, personalized news delivered to your inbox daily, weekly newsletters with calls for proposals and applications, monthly health policy rundowns, and so much more.
Increase Your Impact
AcademyHealth membership gives you a platform to amplify your voice as an expert and connects you with policymakers, key funders, peers with similar research interests, and media representatives who can benefit from your insights and make sure your work ends up in front of the right people. As a member, you can submit your work for publication in our influential blog, nominate yourself for high-profile awards, and attend our popular conferences – for a fraction of the price non-members pay.
Progress in Your Career
Advance your career with access to health services research and health policy job listings through the AcademyHealth Career Center, extensive networking and collaboration opportunities through AcademyHealth’s members-only online offerings, and resources like our new salary comparison tool which allows you to ensure you are being paid like your peers and prepare you for future salary negotiations. Members can also apply for exclusive scholarship, fellowship, and volunteer opportunities to add to your resume.
Connect with Colleagues
With misinformation and distrust in science on the rise, it’s a challenging time to be a champion for evidence. Becoming a part of the AcademyHealth community surrounds you with like-minded colleagues who can support you through mentorship, collaboration, and life-long friendship. Join one (or more!) of our 18 topic-specific interest groups and get connected to those with similar research areas and interests to address challenges or discuss how new developments in the field impact your work.
