To promote scholarly endeavors among individual resource development professionals employed by 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, or co-authors, 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.
