PAGNY is a public health leader in communities across New York City. Every year, we convene as an organization to celebrate our professionals and their cutting-edge population health research and other investigations at Research Day.

About Research Day

The Physician Affiliate Group of New York, P.C. (PAGNY) is pleased to announce a new online system that will streamline the submission and evaluation process for participants and judges. With this system, you will be able to submit multiple abstracts and upload posters, slides, and required documentation for Research Day in one single location. You can also obtain real-time updates, view a list of participants, explore research content, and register for the in-person event. Additionally, you will have access to previously unseen event photographs and research compendiums from 2018 to 2022.

Since 2016, PAGNY's Annual Research Day has provided a space for PAGNY physicians, NYDA dentists, and other health professionals across all affiliated hospitals and clinics to share their research, scholarship, and creative endeavors across our organization.

This year, PAGNY is excited to announce that we are now accepting Case Reports/Case Series and QI/PI projects. Overall, we will be honoring eight top PAGNY projects. The most successful submissions will receive a cash prize.

In addition, we have partnered with the Interdisciplinary Guided Network for Investigation, Translation and Equity (IGNITE). IGNITE will reward the top three scoring abstracts that utilize the All of Us Workbench Program for their projects with an additional $500 cash prize plus an honorable mention during the PAGNY Annual Research Day conference. The IGNITE program works with the NIH to promote the use of the All of Us Research Program data by many types of researchers.
