HSE Open Access Research Awards 2024 - Enter Now

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the first HSE Open Access Research Awards.

Since their inauguration in 2014, the awards have celebrated practitioners and researchers working across health and social care disciplines in Ireland who are publishing and making their research available in an Open Access format.

The awards are judged across a number of categories, and for 2024 the categories are unchanged:

Acute Care and Hospitals

Community and Social Care

Mental Health and Disabilities

Integrated Services

Entries will be reviewed by a panel of judges with research experience. There will be a prize for each category and an overall winner will also be selected, representing the best of all submissions received.

Once again, there will be a special Innovation prize to recognise outstanding developments in practice or service delivery.

Winners will receive a custom piece of glassware celebrating their achievement. 

Criteria for Entry

Entries must fulfil the following criteria:

• The research must have been published within the two years (24 months) prior to the closing date
• The research must be available in full text in an Open Access forum (and added to the Lenus repository as a condition of entry)
• At least one author must be working for or on behalf of the Irish health services

Entries close on Friday October 25th 2024 and the winners will be announced in early December. For more information, email lenus@hse.ie.
