Casey Quinlan Scholarship for Patients and Patient Advocates

In support of patient participation at the 2025 Health Datapalooza in September, we’ve made available a limited number of scholarships and complimentary registrations to help cover the registration, travel, and accommodation fees for patients who would benefit from participating in the 2025 event.

Health Datapalooza patient scholarships honor Casey Quinlan, a tireless advocate who helped blaze the trail for a generation of activated patients and directly contributed to the development and sustained commitment of AcademyHealth’s patient engagement and collaboration efforts.

Do You Qualify for a Patient Scholarship?

Applicants for the scholarship must attend the event primarily to represent patients/consumers and add a patient voice to the discussion. Preference will be given to active and engaged patients who would be otherwise unable to participate in the absence of registration support. Individuals employed as full-time consultants, or in any paid capacity for health technology (including startups), pharmaceutical or device manufacturers, health care delivery systems, and state or federal government agencies are unlikely to qualify.

Applicants will be evaluated based on a number of criteria including:

  • Statement of interest (required with application).
  • Prior experience in patient advocacy or engagement.
  • Participation in the Health Datapalooza in previous years (we aim to have a mix of new and returning participants).
  • Potential for applicant to contribute unique perspectives and lived experience to the event.
  • Potential for applicant to diversify geographic representation at the conference.
