DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The American Society of Health Economists (ASHEcon) is a professional organization dedicated to promoting excellence in health economics research in the U.S. The objective of the ASHEcon conferences is to provide a forum for presenting emerging ideas, empirical results and methodological advances in health economics research and for facilitating the development of the next generation of health economics scholars. More specifically, the goal is to facilitate a large community of health economists to present and discuss high quality papers representing new and innovative research in important areas of health economics. The ultimate outcomes include better research on critical health topics, including aging related topics; generation of new research ideas; development of opportunities for students, junior researchers, women and minorities; dissemination of cutting-edge ideas; and a better knowledge base for private and public policies. Plenary speakers, scientific sessions, papers, and posters will address the substantive area of aging through several topics. These include: quality of care; health insurance and health care reform; comparative effectiveness; Medicare (e.g., physician and hospital payment reforms, Medicare Advantage, and Part Ds); ethnic/racial and gender disparities in treatments and outcomes; retirement and health; VA services; health and health behaviors across the life-span; long-term care; preventive services for elderly; and diffusion of technology. Pre-conference sessions will explore topics such as new developments in econometric and other methods, and developments in government data availability. Beginning with the conference at University of Wisconsin in 2006 and then the Duke conference in 2008, ASHEcon's biennial conference has quickly become established as the premier health economics conference in the United States. NIA, through a conference grant, was instrumental in helping the 2008 conference include high quality sessions directly related to aging and a plenary speaker (Mark McClellan) who spoke on health care reform, aging, and policy related issues. Funding for the next three conferences and the intervening planning years will build on our strong record of accomplishment. Research presented at the ASHEcon conferences will help advance NIA's, and more generally, NIH's research agenda. Many of the health economists who will attend are grantees of NIA and, more broadly, NIH; others may become interested in these topics after hearing presentations and discussions. Further, NIA, NIH, and ASHEcon share many goals such as training and developing the careers of students and junior faculty including women and minorities. The third biennial ASHEcon conference will be held June 20-23, 2010, at Cornell University in Ithaca NY. The fourth conference will be at the University of Minnesota in 2012 and the fifth is to be held in 2014 at a university TBD. We anticipate about 700 participants at the third conference. The 2006 conference had 500 attendees and the 2008 conference had 650 attendees. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The objective of the biennial conferences of the American Society of Health Economists (ASHEcon) is to provide a forum for emerging ideas and empirical results of health economics research. Topics to be covered in the three proposed conferences include: quality of care; health insurance and health care reform; comparative effectiveness; Medicare (e.g., physician and hospital payment reforms, Medicare Advantage, and Part Ds); ethnic/racial and gender disparities in treatments and outcomes; retirement and health; VA services; health and health behaviors across the ages; long-term care, preventive services for elderly; and diffusion of technology, among others. The next three biennial ASHEcon conferences will be held June 2010 at Cornell University, summer 2012 at University of Minnesota, and summer 2014 at a university TBD.

简介（由申请人提供）：美国卫生经济学家协会（ASHEcon）是一个专业组织，致力于促进美国卫生经济学研究的卓越性。ASHEcon会议的目标是提供一个论坛，展示卫生经济学研究的新兴思想、实证结果和方法进步，并促进下一代卫生经济学学者的发展。更具体地说，目标是促进卫生经济学家的大型社区提出和讨论高质量的论文，代表新的和创新的研究在卫生经济学的重要领域。最终结果包括对关键健康主题（包括与衰老相关的主题）进行更好的研究；产生新的研究思路；为学生、初级研究人员、妇女和少数民族创造机会；传播前沿思想；为私人和公共政策提供更好的知识基础。全体会议发言人、科学会议、论文和海报将通过几个主题来解决老龄化的实质性领域。这些因素包括：护理质量；健康保险和保健改革；相对有效性;医疗保险（例如，医生和医院支付改革、医疗保险优势和部分d）；治疗和结果方面的民族/种族和性别差异；退休和保健；弗吉尼亚州服务;贯穿一生的健康和健康行为；长期护理;为长者提供预防服务；技术的扩散。会前会议将探讨诸如计量经济学和其他方法的新发展，以及政府数据可用性的发展等主题。从2006年威斯康星大学的会议开始，然后是2008年杜克大学的会议，ASHEcon两年一次的会议迅速成为美国首屈一指的卫生经济学会议。NIA通过一项会议拨款，帮助2008年的会议增加了与老龄化直接相关的高质量会议，并邀请了一位全体会议发言人（马克·麦克莱伦）就医疗改革、老龄化和政策相关问题发表讲话。今后三次会议和其间的规划年的资金将以我们良好的成就记录为基础。在ASHEcon会议上提出的研究将有助于推进NIA的研究议程，更广泛地说，是NIH的研究议程。许多将出席会议的卫生经济学家是NIA的受助人，更广泛地说，是NIH的受助人；其他人可能会在听完演讲和讨论后对这些话题感兴趣。此外，NIA、NIH和ASHEcon有许多共同的目标，比如培训和发展学生和初级教师的职业生涯，包括女性和少数民族。第三届两年一次的ASHEcon会议将于2010年6月20日至23日在纽约州伊萨卡的康奈尔大学举行。第四次会议将于2012年在明尼苏达大学举行，第五次会议将于2014年在一所大学举行。我们预计第三次会议约有700人参加。2006年的会议有500名与会者，2008年的会议有650名与会者。
