Nominations were accepted through February 28, 2020 for the HCUP Outstanding Article of the Year Awards, which will recognize researchers published in peer-reviewed journals in 2019 that used the HCUP databases to explore and address healthcare research topics and issues. Work honored will demonstrate how HCUP has contributed to the healthcare services field.

Researchers could self-nominate or be nominated by another individual (e.g., a colleague of the author or authors). Posters on the chosen recipients' articles will be produced on their behalf and displayed at the AcademyHealth's 2020 Annual Research Meeting , which will be held June 13-16 in Boston, Massachusetts. Recipients will also be honored with a certificate during an HCUP session.

A travel stipend for the event will be provided by AcademyHealth. Up to two awards will be given.
