Overview
The need for capacity building in primary care
research is well recognized. A recent report prepared by the
AFMO Research Capacity Building Committee recognizes the need
to mentor interested medical students. NAPCRG is originating
this award to both recognize medical student research and by
doing so promote family medicine/primary care research.
Purpose
To recognize outstanding family
medicine/primary care research performed by a medical student.
Designation
of the Award
One award may be made by each department
of family medicine. The NAPCRG Board suggests that each department
create a committee to review medical student applications and
make the award recommendation to the department chair. Note
that NAPCRG does not select the honorees; departments tell NAPCRG
headquarters who should be honored from their school. NAPCRG
will supply the certificate that may be framed by the department
if it elects to do so. To view past recipients of the award,

Please submit
the name of your honoree to NAPCRG via e-mail to jjones@stfm.org
for preparation of the certificate. While some departments prefer
to present these certificates at graduation ceremonies in the
spring, you may honor your student at the time that makes the
most sense for your department.
