Nominations are now being accepted for AHRQ’s Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) Outstanding Article of the Year Awards. Up to three candidates will be chosen to receive the awards, which recognize researchers who published articles in peer-reviewed journals in 2013 that used the HCUP databases to explore and address health care research topics and issues.

Awards will be presented at the AcademyHealth Annual Research Meeting, scheduled for June 8-10 in San Diego. The award includes a complimentary conference registration and a travel stipend.
