The CAIMS*SCMAI Research Prize

OBJECTIVE

The award has been established to recognize innovative and exceptional research contributions in an emerging area of applied or industrial mathematics.

THE AWARD

The award will consist of a prize of $1,000 and a commemorative plaque that will be presented at the CAIMS*SCMAI Annual Meeting. The recipient will be invited to give a plenary lecture at the Annual Meeting in the year of the award. A travel allowance will be provided.

NOMINATION

Nominations should be received no later than January 31 of a given calendar year and should include four copies of each of: a title for the nomination designating research contributions in a specific area; a summary of the contributions in the form of a five-line press release; a detailed description (no longer than two pages) of the research contributions of the nominee in the specified area; a CV including the list of publications; and four reprints.

SUBMIT NOMINATION


ADJUDICATION

The nominations will be evaluated by a panel of judges appointed by the President of the Society; their decisions will be final. The judges will select the winner using criteria based on excellent research contributions to an emerging area of applied mathematics. The panel of judges may seek advice from other experts.
