Joseph L. Dieleman

Joseph Dieleman, PhD, is an associate professor at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington. In this role, he leads the Resource Tracking research team, which focuses on tracking development assistance for health, health-care spending by disease, and government health spending. These projects are split between global research, seeking to understand financial flows for health in a wide variety of contexts, and U.S. research, seeking to describe how health care is purchased in the United States. Dr. Dieleman studied at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan, earning his undergraduate degree in economics at the University of Washington, where he received his PhD in economics. He has also spent three years living and working in Tegucigalpa, Honduras.
