Submissions Being Accepted for Joseph G. Sprague New Investigator Award

Submissions are being accepted for The Joseph G. Sprague New Investigator Award, created by The Center for Health Design and funded by the Sprague Foundation. The award strives to encourage up-and-coming researchers to examine how the built environment impacts outcomes in healthcare settings. Priority will be given to the studies focused on design that supports staff well-being, mental and behavioral health, aging and pediatric care.

Investigators in the early phases of their research career (academia and professional practice) are encouraged to apply. Current graduate students and those who have graduated with a research degree within the past three years are eligible. The deadline for submissions is June 16 and the winner(s) will be announced July 28. The Center for Health Design will present up to two awards up to $10,000 to award recipients.

Applicants for the New Investigator Award are required to view an informational webinar on April 28. Learn more at https://www.healthdesign.org/certification-outreach/awards-recognition/joseph-g-sprague-new-investigator-award.
