Laura Gumbert, our OdySMA Project Manager, selected as a recipient of the ISPOR Patient Representative Conference Grant.

Laura Gumbert, our OdySMA Project Manager, has been selected as a recipient of the ISPOR Patient Representative Conference Grant for Virtual ISPOR Europe 2022.

As Laura indicates: "Receiving the ISPOR Patient Representative Conference Grant for Virtual ISPOR Europe 2022 shows appreciation for our achievements as an international patient organization.

I applied so we can learn more about how to asses outcomes of our OdySMA project and related initiatives from a health economic perspective, to network, promote our activities, and learn from other patient organizations. For me personally, as a health economist receiving 1-year ISPOR membership makes me very grateful as this reflects my interests in both health economic research and patient advocacy. 

I am looking forward to enhancing my knowledge and techniques in health economics and outcomes research (HEOR) by participating at ISPOR short courses and connecting with other participants."
