The goals of the awards are to:Address topics of current relevance to the goals and outcomes of HS programs;Encourage active communication, networking, and collaboration among prominent HS researchers and policymakers; andIncrease the capacity of HS researchers to analyze existing data sets and disseminate their findings to multiple audiences.
