NOMINATION DEADLINE: 30 JUNE
The Association's oldest award, the AAAS Newcomb Cleveland Prize, supported by Affymetrix, was established in 1923 with funds donated by Newcomb Cleveland of New York City and was originally called the AAAS Thousand Dollar Prize. It is now known as the AAAS Newcomb Cleveland Prize, and its value has been raised to $25,000. The winner also receives a bronze medal, complimentary registration and reimbursement for reasonable travel and hotel expenses to attend the AAAS Annual Meeting.
The prize is awarded to the author or authors of an outstanding paper published in the Research Articles or Reports sections of Science. Each annual contest starts with the first issue of June and ends with the last issue of the following May.
An eligible paper is one that includes original research data, theory, or
synthesis; is a fundamental contribution to basic knowledge or is a technical
achievement of far-reaching consequence; and is a first-time publication of
the author's own work. Reference to pertinent earlier work by the author may
be included to give perspective.
Throughout the year, readers of Science are invited
to nominate papers appearing in the Research Articles or Reports
sections. Nominations must be typed, and the following information provided:
- title of the paper,
- author's name,
- date of issue in which it was published,
- page number,
- and a brief statement of justification for nomination.
Please note: self-nominations will not be
accepted for the AAAS Newcomb Cleveland Prize. Final selection is determined
by a panel of distinguished scientists appointed by the editor-in-chief
of Science.
