Grant Miller, PhD, MPP
Grant Miller is an assistant professor of medicine at the Stanford School of Medicine, a core faculty at the Center for Health Policy/Primary Care and Outcomes Research, and a faculty research fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER). He is also a faculty fellow of the Stanford Center for International Development and a faculty affiliate of the Center for Latin American Studies. His primary areas of interest are health and development economics and economic demography.

Miller’s current research focuses broadly on behavioral obstacles to health improvement in developing countries. One line of studies investigates household decision-making underlying puzzlingly low adoption rates of highly efficacious health technologies (like point-of-use drinking water disinfectants and improved cookstoves) in many poor countries. Another vein of research investigates misaligned macro- and micro-level incentives governing the supply of health technologies and services. He received his BA in psychology from Yale College, master's degree in public policy from the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, and PhD in health policy/economics also from Harvard.
