Health services research award nominations are due by July 29

AcademyHealth, a non-partisan health research and policy organization, recently issued a call for nominations of health services research for the HSR Impact Award. Research that has made a positive impact on health policy and/or practice is the target.

One or two winners will be selected. Each winner will receive $2,000. In addition, AcademyHealth will widely disseminate the winning impacts as part of ongoing efforts to promote the field of health services research and communicate its value for healthcare decision-making. The awards will be announced at the 2006 National Health Policy Conference on February 6-7. The winners will receive complimentary registration, lodging, and travel to and from the conference.

Nominated research may be published or unpublished, a single study or a body of work, and/or the work of an individual or a team.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 the impact should have occurred recently. Nominators and nominees are not required to be AcademyHealth members. Self-nominations will be accepted. For more information, go to www.academyhealth.org/awards/hsrimpacts.htm
