ISS Andrew B. Whinston Pathbreaking Research Award

The award recognizes an individual researcher or a team whose contributions over the last 20 years have been pathbreaking, opening a new line of inquiry or advancing an existing research stream in a substantial manner. For an award to a team, it typically honors a joint work. Although recent work should not be excluded, the award should emphasize work that has stood the test of time, demonstrating long-term scholarly significance. The award committee will evaluate nominations based on innovation, impact, enduring influence, and breadth of contributions.
