There are several groups of highly talented investigators throughout UPENN who have expertise in areas related to behavioral economics. Within the Wharton School, the Departments of Marketing, Operations and Information Management, Business and Public Policy, and Health Care Management all contain psychologists and economists with relevant interests and expertise (Bicchieri, Danzon, Kunreuther, Pauly, Pope, Schweitzer, Small, Stevenson, Tobacman, Waldfogel). Likewise, UPENN has great strengths in academic medicine and health-care research. Within the UPENN School of Medicine, the Division of General Internal Medicine is a leading group conducting health services research and studies of health outcomes (Armstrong, Asch, Glick, Long, Polsky, Shea, Volpp, Werner) and the Center for Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics (CCEB) is one of the top centers for clinical epidemiologic research, multicenter clinical trials, and biostatistical research within the U.S (Kimmel, Halpern, Troxel). The Department of Psychology contains several leading authorities in behavioral decision making (Rozin, Baron). However, despite great strengths in both behavioral economics and health, potential synergies have not been fully realized, because faculty in different departments tend to work relatively independently of one-another. Bringing them together to tackle problems that would benefit from interdisciplinary teams requires an overarching organizational structure. The primary existing institutional umbrella at UPENN for health care policy-related research is the Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics (LDI) (Figure 1). LDI is a cooperative venture among Penn's Schools of Medicine, Business (Wharton), Nursing, Dental Medicine, and Communication (Annenberg) and the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, with linkages to other schools, including Arts & Sciences, Education, Engineering, Social Work, and Law. LDI provides several mechanisms for convening faculty across schools, including a research seminar series, a policy speaker series, a small grants pilot program (8 grants annually, each with budgets of up to $20,000), and social functions. LDI also provides a wide range of support for medical and other health professions students who pursue joint graduate degrees in health services and policy through the management and social sciences. The Wharton School's Health Care Management Department, for example, grants an MBA in health care management and a Ph.D. in health care systems. The School of Medicine grants a Masters of Science in Health Policy Research. LDI has several special fellowships to support physicians and Other health care professionals interested in careers in health services education and research. There are also a number of programs at UPENN that support research related to aging (Figure 1). The Institute on Aging (lOA) at the University of Pennsylvania was formed in 1980 to improve the health of the elderty by increasing the quality and quantity of clinical and basic research as well as educational programs focusing on normal aging and age-related diseases at the UPENN School of Medicine and across the entire UPENN campus. Under the direction of John Trojanowski, M.D., Ph.D., this mission is implemented through a variety of elements, including funding for up to 8 pilots per year ($50,000 each), joint recruitments with School of Medicine (SOM) Departments, a Visiting Scholars Series, and an annual half-day retreat. While the lOA includes faculty from a range of disciplines and faculty members have done path-breaking work in areas like working to find treatments for Alzheimer's disease, the faculty who participate in the lOA's activities are nearty exclusively in the SOM or School of Nursing and there is no programmatic focus on economics, psychology, or behavior change interventions. The Population Aging Research Center (PARC) at UPENN was established in 1994 as a fledgling NIA P20 center. Soon after PARC was re-structured as an NIA P30 Center in 1999, Beth Soldo joined the UPENN faculty and became the Director of PARC. The PARC is primarily based in the School of Arts and Sciences. While the PARC does include faculty from the SOM, Wharton, Arts and Sciences, and Nursing, the programmatic focus is on support of secondary data analyses to promote research on the demography and economics of aging. The overall research themes of PARC are focused on biodemography; health and economics of pensions and retirement and health care systems; aging families and households, intergenerational relations, and resource transfers across multiple generations; and diversity of aging populations. PARC holds a pilot grant competition each year in which generally 6 pilots of up to $30,000 per year are funded. Thus, while there are strong groups of faculty within different departments and schools and a focus on aging research related to basic science and clinical inquiry as well as the demography and economics of aging, there has been no organizational entity focused on convening faculty across disciplines and schools with a goal of supporting research that translates insights from behavioral economics into interventions to improve health behaviors and health care delivery (see attached letters of support from Drs. Trojankowski and Soldo).

有几组非常有才华的调查人员在整个 UPENN谁在行为经济学相关领域的专业知识。在沃顿商学院，市场营销，运营和信息管理，商业和公共政策，以及医疗保健管理部门都包含有相关利益和专业知识的心理学家和经济学家（Bicchieri，Danzon，Kunreuther，Pauly，Pope，Schweitzer，Small，史蒂文森，Tobacman，Waldfogel）。同样，宾夕法尼亚大学在学术医学和保健研究方面也有很大的优势。在宾夕法尼亚大学医学院内，普通内科学系是一个领导小组，负责开展卫生服务研究和健康结果研究临床流行病学和生物统计学中心（CCEB）是美国最顶尖的临床流行病学研究、多中心临床试验和生物统计学研究中心之一（Kimmel，Halpern，Troxel）.心理学系包含行为决策（罗津，男爵）的几个主要权威。然而，尽管在行为经济学和健康方面都有很大的优势，但潜在的协同作用尚未完全实现，因为不同部门的教师往往相对独立地工作。 将他们聚集在一起，解决将受益于跨学科团队的问题，需要一个总体的组织结构。 在宾夕法尼亚大学的医疗保健政策相关的研究主要现有的机构伞是卫生经济学（LDI）的伦纳德戴维斯研究所（图1）。LDI是宾夕法尼亚大学医学院、商学院（沃顿商学院）、护理学院、牙科学院和传播学院（安纳伯格）以及费城儿童医院之间的合作企业，与其他学校有联系，包括艺术与科学、教育、工程、社会工作和法律。LDI提供了几种机制，召集教师跨学校，包括一个研究研讨会系列，一个政策演讲者系列，小额赠款试点计划（每年8笔赠款，每笔预算高达20，000美元），和社会功能。LDI还为通过管理和社会科学攻读卫生服务和政策联合研究生学位的医学和其他卫生专业学生提供广泛的支持。例如，沃顿商学院的卫生保健管理系赠款卫生保健管理MBA学位和博士学位。in health健康care保健systems系统.医学院赠款卫生政策研究理学硕士学位。LDI有几个特殊的奖学金，以支持医生和其他卫生保健专业人员感兴趣的职业生涯在卫生服务教育和研究。 也有一些程序在UPENN支持与老龄化相关的研究（图1）。老龄化研究所（IOA）在宾夕法尼亚大学成立于1980年，通过提高临床和基础研究的质量和数量，以及专注于正常衰老和年龄相关疾病的教育计划，以改善老年人的健康在医学的UPENN学校和整个UPENN校园。在医学博士约翰·特洛伊诺夫斯基的指导下，哲学博士、这一使命是通过各种因素来实现的，包括每年资助多达8个试点项目（每个项目50，000美元）、与医学院（SOM）各系联合招聘、访问学者系列以及每年半天的务虚会。虽然lOA包括来自不同领域的教师 的学科和教师做了开创性的工作领域，如努力寻找治疗阿尔茨海默氏症，教师谁参加了IOA的活动几乎完全在SOM或护理学院，并没有经济学，心理学或行为改变干预的程序重点。人口老龄化研究中心（PARC）成立于1994年，是一个羽翼未丰的NIA P20中心。在PARC于1999年被重组为NIA P30中心后不久，Beth Soldo加入了UPENN教师，并成为PARC的主任。PARC主要设在艺术和科学学院。虽然PARC确实包括SOM，沃顿商学院，艺术与科学和护理学院的教师，但计划重点是支持二级数据分析，以促进对人口统计学和老龄化经济学的研究。PARC的整体研究主题集中在生物人口学;养老金和退休和医疗保健系统的健康和经济学;老龄化家庭和家庭，代际关系和跨多代的资源转移;和老龄化人口的多样性。PARC每年举办一次试点赠款竞赛，通常每年资助6个试点项目，最高可达30，000美元。 因此，虽然在不同的部门和学校内有强大的教师群体，并专注于与基础科学和临床调查以及老龄化的人口统计学和经济学相关的老龄化研究，但一直没有组织实体专注于召集跨学科和学校的教师，以支持 将行为经济学的见解转化为改善健康的干预措施 行为和医疗保健服务（见随附的Trojankowski博士的支持信 Soldo）。
