NHIF Research POSTERS

The Foundation has adopted the Poster Session at the NHIA Annual Conference as part of its efforts to advance NHIF’s mission of promoting investigator-initiated research related to home and alternate infusion. NHIF awards a $1000 scholarship to a poster that exemplifies an innovative approach to addressing current challenges in home infusion and has the possibility of further development.

In addition to the cash award, the winning author receives support for developing a manuscript for publication of their research in INFUSION magazine, as well as complimentary registration to the NHIA Annual Conference.
