Thank you. Kindly review the requirements detailed in the call for nominations document above and fill out the award nomination form to submit a nomination for a 2022 HPSR Societal Award.
I nominate Dr. Rhona Mijumbi in recognition of her service and dedication to building rapid response services for knowledge translation, especially at a time we did not fully understand or appreciate them (Covid has now greatly changed that). Anybody involved in rapid review work or linking evidence to policy over the last decade will have heard, worked with, and learned from her. Her dedication to building a pool of persons with KT understanding and skills has greatly changed the evidence-to-policy landscape, especially in the African region but also other LMICs in Latin America, Asia and Eastern Europe. She has undoubtedly contributed to the evidence-to-policy family and network globally a great deal, always working cheerfully, selflessly, and mostly behind the scenes, building and strengthening this field.
Thank you. Kindly review the requirements detailed in the call for nominations document above and fill out the award nomination form to submit a nomination for a 2022 HPSR Societal Award.
