Marcia Weaver, PhD is an economist who leads the Cost-Effectiveness research team at UW’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. The team is conducting meta-regression analyses of published cost-effectiveness estimates to support selecting interventions for Universal Health Coverage packages. They will predict cost-effectiveness ratios for GBD locations. Previously, Professor Weaver was Principal Investigator for the Integrated Infectious Disease Capacity Building Evaluation (IDCAP), which was awarded to Accordia Global Health Foundation by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. IDCAP was a cluster randomized trial implemented by the Infectious Diseases Institute in Uganda with the goal of evaluating the cost-effectiveness of two methods to build capacity among mid-level health practitioners for the treatment and prevention of HIV, malaria, pneumonia and tuberculosis. In the United States, she published on cost-effectiveness of interventions for people with HIV, chronic mental, and substance abuse.
Professor Weaver has published 85 articles in peer-reviewed journals. A Full list of publications is available here
