In the second year, the fellow may be located at Pfizer headquarters in Manhattan, New York.

The UIC/Takeda 2-year fellowship in Health Economics and Outcomes Research involves being located in Chicago at UIC for the first year where the fellow participates in research projects and completes coursework.

There is no 2026-2028 fellowship; next recruitment cycle for this fellowship is expected to be 2027-2029.

The UIC/AbbVie 2-year Fellowship in Health Economics and Outcomes Research involves being located in Chicago at UIC for the first year where the Fellow participates in research projects and completes coursework. In the second year, the Fellow will be assigned to one of 3 key areas at AbbVie HEOR: HEOR Therapeutic Area Strategy, Health Economics/Real-world Evidence Center of Expertise, or Patient Centered Outcomes Research Center of Expertise.

For any of the programs, fellows may optionally apply to UIC’s Department of Pharmacy Systems Outcomes & Policy graduate program. Admission is not automatic; it is a competitive, selective process independent of the fellowship. Although not required, and depending on current experience and degrees, application to the graduate program is encouraged.
