Researchers may self-nominate or be nominated by another individual (e.g., a colleague of the author or authors). Awards will be presented during AcademyHealth’s Annual Research Meeting, which will be held June 14-16 at the Minneapolis Convention Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Travel reimbursement will be provided for the lead authors. Up to three awards will be given.

The nomination period will close on Friday, March 20, 2015, at 11:59 P.M. EDT. For complete information, please visit the HCUP-US Website at http://www.hcup-us.ahrq.gov/awards.jsp. For questions, please contacthcup@ahrq.gov.

2015 represents the fifth annual HCUP Outstanding Article of the Year Award.  Since 2010, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has recognized exceptional research conducted using the HCUP databases in the clinical and health policy arenas.  This research continues to enhance the public conversation about health care costs, outcomes, and trends. Over the past five years, the Award has grown into a distinguished honor among health services researchers with a variety of clinical insights, economic interests, and policy backgrounds. AHRQ is proud of the important work being done with HCUP data, and is excited to see what researchers nominate for this year’s Award.
