To promote scholarly endeavors among individual resource development professionals employed by voluntary, not-for-profit or governmental health care organizations, the AHP Journal Advisory Council annually reviews proposals for professional papers on the topics of health care development or philanthropy.
The author of the selected proposal is commissioned by AHP, through a $1,000 grant provided by Gonser Gerber Tinker Stuhr, to complete a paper which is published by and becomes the property of AHP, with distribution rights also available to Gonser Gerber Tinker Stuhr. Review submission guidelines.
