The Thompson Prize
The Thompson Prize for Young Investigators
The John D. Thompson Prize for Young Investigators was established to honor John D. Thompson, a professor of health administration education, who set teaching, commitment to learning, collegial relationships, and health services research standards which are without peer.
The Prize recognizes young faculty based on their contributions to the research literature in the field of health services.
The Prize is awarded to a faculty member from an AUPHA Full Member Program whose work may be in any of the several fields or disciplines contributing to knowledge in healthcare management and policy.
Nominations are judged by a panel of recognized health services researchers and health administration faculty appointed by the Board of AUPHA.
The awardee shall be a faculty member at a Full Member Program of AUPHA, have been awarded a PhD no more than six years prior to consideration (2007), and have not achieved tenure as of the date of selection. The Prize is intended to serve as a benchmark for pre-tenure work.
Emphasis is placed on:
Importance of Works—Overall significance of the investigator’s research and the impact it is likely to have on the field of health services.
Theoretical Grounding—The writing and research must exhibit a strong conceptual base in the parent discipline.
Productivity—The number of publications published in refereed journals, book chapters and books.
Intellectual Leadership—Professional recognition, serving as principal investigator on major grants and contracts, organizing research meetings and/or generating substantial books or monographs in the field of health services.
Quality/Visibility of Journals—Leading health services research journals receive greater weight.
Contribution to Education in Health Management & Policy—Beyond the nominee’s research, in what ways has he/she contributed to the field of health management and policy education--through teaching, commitment to learning, collegial relationships and beyond?
The Nomination Process
Anyone from an AUPHA member program may nominate a candidate for the Prize.
Nominations must include the nominee’s current bio and curriculum vitae, a single letter of not more than five pages outlining the nominee’s contributions to research literature in the field of health services, and complete copies of up to five publications (that have appeared in print) of which the nominee is the sole or lead author or a primary contributor, and a recent high resolution photograph of the nominee. Additional supporting letters should not be submitted.
Individuals may be re-nominated from year to year as long as they continue to meet the criteria for the Prize.
