The Prize, funded by The Baxter International Foundation and managed by the Association of University Programs in Health Administration (AUPHA), will be awarded on June 29, at the AUPHA Annual Meeting in Chicago.
A general internist and health services researcher, Dr. Clancy was appointed Director of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) in February 2003. Prior to her appointment as director, Dr. Clancy served as the Agency's acting director and was previously director of AHRQ's Center for Outcomes and Effectiveness Research. According to a release, her major research interests include improving healthcare quality and patient safety, and reducing disparities in care associated with patients' race, ethnicity, gender, income, and education. As director, she launched the first annual reports to the U.S. Congress on healthcare disparities and healthcare quality.
"The Graham Prize Selection Committee, composed of former Prize winners and distinguished health services researchers, admire Dr. Clancy for her passionate commitment to health services research that addresses the most critical needs in healthcare, including quality, safety, and the elimination of disparities in access," said Kyle Grazier, DrPH, University of Michigan professor, and chair of the Graham Prize Selection Committee. "Her individual work, combined with her profound contributions to the development and leadership of AHRQ, made a compelling case for the Committee."
Dr. Clancy is a graduate of Boston College and the University of Massachusetts Medical School. Following her clinical training, she was a Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania.
Clancy currently holds an academic appointment at George Washington University School of Medicine (Clinical Associate Professor, Department of Medicine) and serves as Senior Associate Editor of Health Services Research. Dr. Clancy is widely published in peer-reviewed journals, and has edited and contributed to seven books. She has served on multiple editorial boards and is currently on the board of the Annals of Family Medicine, Annals of Internal Medicine, American Journal of Medical Quality, and Medical Care Research and Review. She is a member of the Institute of Medicine and was elected a Master of the American College of Physicians in 2004.
Since 1986, The Baxter International Foundation and the Association of University Programs in Health Administration have awarded the William B. Graham Prize for Health Services Research to recognize researchers who have made major contributions to the health of the public through innovative research in health services.
