AHRQ’s Outstanding Achievement in Healthcare Research Award

·         Calling published researchers and graduate students who have used Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) data!

To celebrate its 20th year of HCUP data, AHRQ will be honoring researchers who have addressed healthcare research and policy issues using HCUP data, software, or tools.

AHRQ encourages published researchers to apply in two areas: Scientific Contributions and Policy Impact. Graduate students can only apply for the scientific contribution award.  

Award recipients will be honored at the AHRQ Annual Meeting (September 27-29, in Bethesda, Maryland). They will have the opportunity to present their research at a session during the meeting. Transportation and accommodations will be provided.
