We are dedicated to leading the way in innovative research, ensuring that our work not only advances the field but also makes a tangible difference in people’s lives,” said Jason Spangler, MD, MPH, FACPM, Chief Executive Officer of the Center for Innovation & Value Research.

The Center for Innovation & Value Research (the Center) was established in 2016 to serve as an incubator for pioneering methods and advancements in HTA.
