Starting in 2013, the annual MSOM Young Scholar Prize recognizes exceptional young researchers who have made outstanding contributions to scholarship in operations management. Scholars who have been 10 full years or less since PhD graduation on January 31st of the year in which they are nominated are eligible. The decision on the award will be made by the MSOM Young Scholar Award Committee. Nominations are made to the Committee Chair by anyone, including the nominee, and consist of a statement of eligibility, a curriculum vitae, statement of major contributions of no more than three pages (may be prepared by the nominee) and three letters of nomination. The award includes a cash prize of $1000. In the event that more than one person is chosen to receive the award, the cash prize will be divided up equally among the recipients.
