- The Leo Geppert Research Award (certificate of merit): for the Uniformed pediatric primary care provider describing a topic with a major focus on pediatric primary care, including (but not limited to) innovations in practice management, primary prevention, or educational interventions. This is where most Quality Improvement projects should be submitted.
