Frank M. Bass Dissertation Paper Award
Purpose of the Award

The paper must have appeared in an INFORMS journal within approximately the two years and three months preceding the nomination deadline and
The paper must have been accepted within five years from the date the thesis was finally approved.
Additionally, in the case of multiple authors, nomination implies that the Ph. D. recipient is understood to have made the primary contribution to the publication. For more than two authors, this condition requires that the Ph.D. recipient be the first author. For two authors, either the Ph.D. recipient is the first author or the names are in alphabetical order and there is a notation as to the relative contributions of the authors indicating equal (or greater) contribution by the recipient.
