RE: Frontiers in Health Policy Research/Fall Health Care Meeting, November
4, 2005
This is a reminder about the approaching deadline for submissions for the
fall health care/Frontiers meeting.
We have received some queries about where submissions should be sent-please
send directly to David Cutler
And Alan Garber, email addresses below.
----------------
The ninth annual Frontiers in Health Policy Research meeting, scheduled to
coincide with the fall health care program, meeting is scheduled for
November 4. This meeting will mark two changes in the Frontiers series
that we believe will make the meeting more attractive to both presenters
and to other participants. First, we are changing the venue to Cambridge,
although we will continue to invite members of the policy community from
Washington and elsewhere. By doing so, we hope to make it easier for NBER
affiliates to attend the meeting, whether they are authors or not. Second,
the Frontiers papers will be published (subject to journal acceptance
procedures) in a new peer-reviewed online journal, the Forum for Health
Economics and Policy, published by BEPress. Publication in the journal,
which is available without charge, will facilitate broad distribution of
the papers. We expect to achieve much broader dissemination than was
possible with the print edition.
Despite the change of venue, Frontiers will continue to be a
policy-oriented conference. As in the past, we will invite government
officials, congressional staff, news media, and various other policy people
from the Washington area. Presentations should therefore be non-technical
and provide information relevant to current health policy issues. However,
we will encourage the spirited discussion that is characteristic of NBER
meetings.
We are accepting submissions until September 6. Electronic submissions
(abstracts are fine) are preferred-WordPerfect, Word, plain text, or pdf
formats, please. You should have a complete manuscript ready by
mid-October so that the material can be distributed at the meeting. Please
use an informative file name if you use an attachment- i.e., not
"NBER.doc", or "Manuscript.doc".
Please contact either of us if you have any questions.
