The Special Interest Group on Health (SIG-Health) of the Association for
Information Systems will award its annual Best Paper Award in 2021. There
will be a Junior and a Senior award category when at least 5 submissions
are received in each category. For each category, there will be a Best
Paper Award and Meritorious Mention.

Submissions are due on *July 15, 2021* with the announcements of winners
following soon after. At the time of the award presentation, winners need
to be an AIS SIGHealth Member (only $10 for AIS members!) and be present at
the virtual AMCIS 2021 or the ICIS 2021 SIGHealth Business Meeting to
receive the award.

To be eligible as a Junior Researcher, you need to have been a student at
the time the paper was published. This has to be reflected in your
affiliation. Everyone else will be considered to be a Senior Researcher.

We will accept journal and conference papers in English that were published
and in print in 2020. They need to contain original research. Papers that
are editorial comments, notes, or research-in-progress are not eligible.
Conference posters are not eligible. The paper needs to have been
peer-reviewed. Only one paper per first author will be accepted.

To submit a paper, create a single pdf file that contains a cover page with
your contact information, the paper’s DOI or publication URL, an
