The winner of the TMS Doctoral Dissertation Award will receive a monetary award and a plaque and present her/his work at the annual INFORMS meeting. The 2009 INFORMS meeting is scheduled for November 7-10, 2010 in Austin, TX.Submissions must include two documents:
- A dissertation summary of no more than 10 pages,
- A full, completed dissertation.
Both documents should be emailed in Word or PDF format to the Juliana Hsuan at jh.om@cbs.dk. Please use filenames reflecting the author's last name. Both documents should contain author-identifying information (see below), but only on the cover page. If you submit your documents in PDF format, please make sure the documents are not protected, so the cover page with author-identifying information may be removed when sending the documents to dissertation competition committee members for review.
Author identifying information on the cover page of each document should include:
- Dissertation title,
- Author's name,
- Dissertation completion date,
- Degree-granting school,
- Names of dissertation chair and dissertation committee members, and
- Author's current contact information (affiliation, address, phone and e-mail).

- All pages after the cover page must be double-spaced with 12 point font and 1" margins all around,
- A complete list of references should be provided at the end of the report,
- Focus on explaining the main contributions of the research and the relevance and importance of the contributions.
