2023 DREAM IPC Awards

The DREAM IPC Awards Committee invites applications for four awards. DREAM IPC Awards are intended to inspire and honor outstanding achievement across a range of professional activities. This is an important opportunity to recognize a deserving colleague and/or IPC team. Recipients will be presented with their awards at the DREAM IPC Conference on September 21, 2023 in Wilmington, DE. Every award is intended to align with some element of the DREAM IPC Conference’s vision and mission.

Below please find a brief description of each award and a full description of the nomination process.

We encourage you all to celebrate the achievements of your colleagues and friends! Nominations will be open UNTIL THURSDAY 9/14 AT 12:00AM EDT. 

The Roger Harrison IDEAS Award: The Roger Harrison IDEAS (Inclusion, Diversity, and Excellence in Advocacy and Social Justice) Award celebrates the achievements of a healthcare professional who has contributed to the forward movement of social justice in IPC. Nominees must have a sustained commitment to integrated primary care, community involvement, and diversity, as well as demonstrated evidence of achieving community or organizational change that supports disenfranchised, disempowered, less privileged or oppressed groups. This commitment to social justice also must provide a larger impact on practice, research, mentorship, and/or scholarship in the pediatric IPC field.

2021 Recipient: Dr. Roger Harrison, PhD

The Rising Star Award (NEW AWARD!): The Rising Star Award is intended to recognize some of the brightest scientists and clinicians who, while early in their IPC careers, show exceptional potential for leadership at the frontiers of scientific knowledge and clinical care. The Rising Star Awards celebrates innovation in IPC, and it centers the importance of creativity, collaboration, and curiosity early in one’s career.

The DREAM Team Award (NEW AWARD!): Teamwork makes the DREAM work. While many awards still go to individuals, advances in IPC are dependent on teams of individuals with different perspectives and skills working collaboratively towards a common goal. Pediatric IPC seeks to answer the question, “How do groups, particularly interdisciplinary teams, move together to enhance family-centered care?”. The goal of this award is to recognize the great work IPC professionals have been doing within interdisciplinary teams and to highlight best practices and lessons learned in primary care.

C³IPC Award for Community, Connection, and Collaboration in Integrated Primary Care Scholarship (NEW AWARD!): Just as IPC practice is fueled by collaboration between professionals, families, and communities, meaningful advancement of IPC science requires engagement and collaboration with a range of stakeholders. Awarded in partnership with the Pediatric Integrated Primary Care Research Consortium, this award recognizes outstanding efforts to connect and collaborate with others to advance the science and practice of pediatric IPC and to enrich the lives of children, families, and communities. Applicants are invited to submit scholarly projects that exemplify community, connection, and collaboration through community-based participatory research methods, culturally-informed research and quality improvements efforts, innovative stakeholder engagement strategies, interdisciplinary collaborations, and other novel partnerships.
