Md Zubab Ibne Moid, Ph.D., joined the Center for Youth, Family, and Community Partnerships (CYFCP) as an Economist in May 2026. His work focuses on economic evaluation, return-on-investment analysis, causal inference, and quantitative methods to understand better the costs, outcomes, and value of programs designed to support children, families, and communities. At CYFCP, he contributes to research and evaluation efforts involving programs such as North Carolina High Fidelity Wraparound and Voice Amplified, with particular emphasis on healthcare utilization, behavioral health outcomes, and the economic impact of community-based services.
Dr. Moid earned his Ph.D. in Economics from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, where his research focused on health economics, substance use, economic evaluation, and applied econometrics. He also earned a Master of Arts in Applied Economics from UNC Greensboro, as well as graduate degrees in economics and bank management and a bachelor’s degree in business administration from universities in Bangladesh. His academic and professional experiences have provided him with a multidisciplinary perspective that combines economics, public health, and policy evaluation.
Prior to joining CYFCP full-time, Dr. Moid worked in research and teaching at UNC Greensboro and previously worked in the banking sector. His research uses a range of methods, including cost-effectiveness analysis, micro-costing, causal inference, Bayesian modeling, and longitudinal data analysis. He has collaborated on research examining behavioral health services, substance use prevention, healthcare costs, and population health.
Dr. Moid is particularly interested in using economic evidence to help policymakers and community partners understand not only whether programs improve outcomes, but also whether investments in those programs generate meaningful value for individuals, families, communities, and public systems. He values interdisciplinary collaboration and the use of rigorous research to inform programs and policies serving vulnerable populations.
