Recipients

The Mythbusters Award is designed to provide students with the opportunity to prepare a user-friendly summary of the research evidence behind some of today's major debates in Canadian health services management and policy.

Winners receive $1,500, as well as the opportunity to work with CHSRF staff to prepare their Mythbusters for publication. In addition, CHSRF provides funding to attend the annual Canadian Association for Health Services and Policy Research (CAHSPR) conference, where the award is presented.
