The awards celebrate the achievements of early career researchers, clinician researchers, and for the first time, consumer partners in research who have made important contributions to clinical and health research in SHP’s priority areas.

The recipients of these awards will be determined by a self-nomination application process, and a statement of support from a senior researcher/manager.
