AHI Curricular Innovation Awards
AHI was created in 2005 to improve health and healthcare delivery by advancing the scholarly and educational foundation of quality improvement in healthcare. AHI encourages the development, dissemination, and recognition of novel educational resources in the area of safety and quality. As such, this award is designed to not only spur interest in submission of materials to the website but reward the hard work inherent in high quality curricular design.

The submitter of the top curricular submission received by AHI prior to October 2, 2009 will be the recipient of this award. The winner of the Duncan Neuhauser Award (first place winner) will receive a cash prize of $500.
