Given the COVID-19 pandemic—a circumstance beyond the control of the sponsors—the Consortium of Universities for Global Health annual global health conference scheduled for April 18-20, 2020 in Washington, DC was canceled. Therefore, the winners will not be able to receive a registration waiver as part of their prize. However, the winners will still receive an award certification from CUGH, and sponsors will attempt, to the best of their ability despite the crisis, to report on the winning stories as soon as conditions allow.
