Quarterly Meetings and Guest Speakers
In 2026, the HE SIG is hosting bimonthly meetings featuring guest speakers on topics in pharmacoepidemiology, health equity, and research methodology. Meetings are typically held on the third Friday of the month from 10:00–11:00 AM ET.
Heath Equity SIG Member Survey
In January 2026, we distributed a brief survey to the HE SIG listserv, the SISPE listserv, and the ISPE Exchange to learn more about our members and invite new participants. We received 90+ responses, including 54 new members. As a result, several new volunteers have joined our leadership team and are helping with SIG-sponsored activities.
If other SIGs or RIGs are interested in running a similar member-engagement survey, please contact Chair Isha Riley at isha.riley@regeneron.com.
