The Stephanie Davis Waste Reduction and Pollution Prevention Award and Scholarship is an enduring tribute to Davis, who worked with Health Care Without Harm at its inception in 1996. Davis was a tireless champion of the movement toward sustainable health care who worked to reduce waste and eliminate the use of harmful chemicals and materials in health care products and processes.
This annual award recognizes health care workers or students passionate about waste reduction, management, and pollution prevention in the health care sector and could benefit from the scholarship to further their work.
Stephanie Davis Award and Scholarship recipients will receive:
- Free registration to CleanMed St. Louis from May 12-14
- Up to three nights’ lodging in the CleanMed St. Louis conference hotel
- Reimbursement of travel expenses up to $500 for transportation to and from the conference
- Global recipients will receive a virtual scholarship to CleanMed
Submissions will be evaluated based on the applicant’s demonstrated passion and commitment to waste reduction in health care and the potential to continue driving impact operationally or through additional research. Areas of focus may include staff training; pharmaceutical waste reduction and management; regulated medical waste reduction; edible food waste reduction and donation; construction and demolition debris recycling; waste prevention in general; and electronics waste.
Previous recipients of the Sadler Fellowship, the Emerging Physician Leader Award, or the Stephanie Davis Waste Reduction and Pollution Prevention Award and Scholarship are not eligible for this year’s award.
Applications are due Jan. 23, 11:59 PT. Winners will be notified via email in early to mid-March.
