Deadline: December 1, 2006

The William B. Graham Prize for Health Services Research, sponsored by the Baxter International Foundation (<a href="http://www.baxter.com/">http://www.baxter.com/</a>) and administered by the Association of University Programs in Health Administration (<a href="http://www.aupha.org/">http://www.aupha.org/</a>), honors an individual researcher for achievement in health services research.

The prize was established to recognize worldwide contributions to the improved health of the public through health services research, particularly research that has a lasting impact on the healthcare system and the way health care is delivered.

The prize acknowledges national or international contributions of health services researchers who apply analytic methods to examine and evaluate the organization, financing, and/or delivery of health services. A single, major research contribution or a career-long record of achievement may be recognized. The focus of the prize is on the recognition of a person who has had a significant impact on the health of the public in one of three primary focus areas: Health Services Management, Health Policy Development, and Health Care Delivery.

The prize consists of an individual award of $25,000. In addition, $25,000 will be awarded to a not-for-profit institution designated by the recipient to support his or her work.

Nominations are actively sought from all parts of the world. Nominations and supporting materials must be submitted in English. Self-nominations will not be accepted.

Nominations submitted before December 1 will be considered for the following year’s prize. Visit the AUPHA Web site for complete program information and application procedures.
