Carleigh Krubiner’s research interests include resource allocation and priority-setting for health, ethical research addressing women’s health needs surrounding pregnancy, the design of health incentive programs such as conditional cash transfers (CCTs), health systems strengthening in low- and middle-income countries, and social justice theory.

Carleigh is currently leading work on two initiatives. The first project aims to provide guidance for the ethical inclusion of pregnant women’s health needs in the research agenda for Zika and other public health emergencies. This work builds on the existing PHASES Project – Pregnancy and HIV/AIDS: Seeking Equitable Study – for which Carleigh served as Project Manager

Carleigh has also been spearheading the development of an Ethics & Equity Working Group for the International Decision Support Initiative (idsihealth.org). This group focuses on developing practical approaches to address and consider the ethical dimensions of priority-setting on the path to universal health coverage.
