AcademyHealth Invites Nominations for Health Services Research Impact Award
Deadline: July 29, 2011

AcademyHealth, a professional society for health services researchers and health policy analysts, is seeking nominations of health services research that has made a positive impact on health policy and/or practice for the 2012 HSR Impact Award.

The lead researcher on the winning project will receive $2,000, while the research itself will be disseminated widely as part of AcademyHealth’s ongoing efforts to promote the field of health services research and communicate its value for healthcare decision-making. The award will be announced at the 2012 National Health Policy Conference (February 13-14), to which the winner will receive complimentary conference registration as well as travel and lodging.

Nominated research may be published or unpublished, a single study or a body of work, and/or the work of an individual or a team. The time frame for when the research was conducted is open, but its impact should have occurred recently.

Nominations will be evaluated on the quality of the research, effectiveness of the research dissemination and translation approach, and impact of the research.

Self-nominations will be accepted. Neither nominators nor nominees are required to be AcademyHealth members.

Visit the AcademyHealth Web site for complete program guidelines and the full application.
