From Research to Impact in Long-Term Care: A Lived Experience Trajectory by Inaugural Winners of the Morley Award

Scientists, clinicians, and researchers aim to have impact. Publishing work in peer-reviewed journals advances the scientific field and contributes to the body of knowledge, but it is also important to have societal impact and “real world” value beyond the academic field. The present authors share the distinction of having received the JAMDA Morley Award, which recognizes the article published over the previous year considered to be most impactful in terms of relevance for practice and policy in post-acute and long-term care.
