About the Hearst Health Prize. The purpose of the Hearst Health Prize is to proliferate best practices in data science in healthcare more rapidly, and to showcase successful work. The competition evaluates data science projects or programs that have been implemented and have demonstrated improved health outcomes. It is not a grant program. The winner of the Hearst Health Prize receives $100,000. As the official partner of the Hearst Health Prize, the UCLA Center for SMART Health identifies data science programs making a measurable difference in human health.

The submission period for the 2024 Hearst Health Prize is now closed.

Join us on June 4, 2024, at UCLA Health Data Day to hear the winner of the 2024 Hearst Health Prize.
