Looking for Nominees for iHEA Scientific Committee
As you are aware, iHEA maintains a standing Scientific Committee for abstract review. Each appointee is a member of the committee for two years, with the possibility of an additional term.
At this point we are seeking additional nominees to the Scientific Committee to fill-in for those completing their term and those who do not wish to re-offer as well as for the post Copenhagen committee.
The next duty of the committee will be to participate in the selection of abstracts for the Copenhagen World Congress of Health Economists in July of 2007.
All abstract review takes place over the web and, as a result, can be carried out from any Internet connection around the world. The number of abstracts for each reviewer to score has been kept to a reasonable number to spread the burden and to allow a quick turnaround.
If you are interested in being considered for the committee, we ask you to submit the following:
- A copy of your CV or resume listing relevant education, experience, publications and professional service.
- A cover letter with the following text:
“I agree to:
- Briefly examine the assigned abstracts for factors that would exclude me from reviewing an abstract (e.g. conflict of interest, lack of expertise) within 5 days of e-mail notification of my assignment and notify iHEA with any required reassignment by December 6, 2006.
- Review the abstracts assigned to me (approximately 30) during the period November 30, 2006 - December 15, 2006 and to post scores on the web site made available for that purpose by December 15, 2006.”
Note that Scientific Committee appointees must be iHEA members in good standing in order to be considered.
We look forward to hearing from you soon. Please let us know of your willingness to participate in next year’s review by submitting your CV and cover letter as a word.doc file (with your last name as the title) to bill.swan@healtheconomics.org by August 31, 2006.
Sincerely,
Terkel Christiansen, Chair, Host Organizing Committee Jane Hall, Chair, Scientific Committee Thomas E. Getzen, Executive Director
