Grant available for healthcare research
The latest international research call from ACCA
31 Oct 2008
Given the increasing complexity and pressures relating to global healthcare financing, ACCA's Research Committee is to commission international, comparative research to help inform governments in meeting the policy challenges involved in improving health outcomes while containing costs.
As the global body for professional accountants, ACCA is seeking to develop an understanding of the future role of the accountancy profession in helping to meet these challenges.
Expressions of interest are sought from teams interested in undertaking a study relating to this broad theme. From these, a preferred bidder will be identified and invited to submit a full tender to undertake the study.
ACCA's Research Committee is making £35,000 (or equivalent) available through this initiative to support both an internationally-focused research project and international travel for related dissemination activity.
The project is expected to begin in February 2009 and should meet the following requirements:
- it has an international focus
- it has policy relevance
- it has the ability to produce recommendations for the accountancy profession
- it will be completed within 12 months from February 2009
- its output provides material and analysis capable of helping ACCA make informed policy recommendations to governments, policy makers and standard-setters, as well as the accountancy and finance profession as a whole.
For further details, see the call for expressions of interest (under 'Related documents').
The deadline for applications is midnight on 30 November 2008.
