ANNOUNCE HPSIG Lupina Young Researchers Award

Announcement: Lupina Young Researchers Award in Health System Dynamics

The Health Policy Special Interest Group (HPSIG) of the System Dynamics
Society is proud to announce the Lupina Young Researchers Award for work in
health system dynamics, which will be presented for the first time at this
summer's 2008 International System Dynamics Conference in Athens, Greece.
The award is sponsored by the Lupina Foundation of Toronto, Canada, and will
be accompanied by a check in the amount of CAN$5000. The award will be
presented to the recipient (or recipients) during the HPSIG meeting on the
Sunday afternoon meeting just preceding the conference (July 20th this
year), and a brief announcement will also be made to all conference
attendees at a plenary session.

This award will be given to people at early stages of their careers to
encourage them to do further work in health system dynamics. In the event
that the winning paper represents the equal work of two young researchers,
or if there is a tie among papers, the cash prize may be subdivided. The
work considered for this award must be accepted as a paper for presentation
at the International System Dynamics Conference. Papers are self-nominated,
and to be eligible, the author(s) must either be in graduate school or have
completed their educational training no more than five years prior to paper
submission.

Authors need not be members of the System Dynamics Society and may, in fact,
specialize in other methodologies and use them in their submitted papers.
But their work must:

* Focus on dynamic phenomena in health systems and problems,
* Demonstrate technical quality and clear presentation, and
* Provide original insights derived from a dynamic analysis.

The winner(s) must be present at the Sunday HPSIG meeting to receive their
prize, and be willing to discuss their winning work at that meeting.
