The HSPR Impact Award recognizes HSPR that has made an impact by demonstrably contributing to the transformation of health systems, improving people’s lives, or generating social or economic benefits. This award celebrates research that has moved beyond publication to achieve real-world impact – such as influencing policy, improving service delivery, advancing health equity, or contributing to economic and social prosperity.

The recipient is honored with an award of $10,000, a Certificate of Excellence presented at the annual CAHSPR conference, and has the opportunity to orally present their article at a CAHSPR HSPR Talks webinar as well as at a lunchtime session at the CAHSPR conference.
