Wat is the NVTAG prize?

The awardee has published a manuscript in the previous calendar year which contributes to the development of Health Technology Assessment (HTA) research methods in an original manner.

Besides eternal fame and recognition the winner will receive €1,000,- (unrestricted).

The top 3 nominees are invited to pitch their research during the NVTAG prize award ceremony (March 24-25, 2022 at Kontakt der Kontinent, Soesterberg).
