American Journal of Health Promotion Papers of the Year for 2016 What do athletes, actors, writers and health promotion researchers share in common? Well, many things, but foremost they put themselves out there in the interest of creativity, discovery and an avid search for excellence. As leaders, they sometimes need to bear the indignities of critics and armchair quarterbacks, but that’s a small price for those driven to advance ideas and transcend current approaches to promoting health and well-being nationally and globally. Stephen Hawking said that “science is not only a disciple of reason but, also, one of romance and passion.” To honor some of health promotion’s best scientists and especially to recognize those who bring outstanding humanity to their field of inquiry, I am pleased to announce the American Journal of Health Promotion Papers of the Year.
