Nomination Deadline Extended to 31 March 2023<u1:p></u1:p>
The MSOM Society of INFORMS is currently soliciting nominations (including self-nominations) for the Best OM Paper in Operations Research Award. This bi-annual award is given to the paper published in Operations Research in the previous 4 years (2018-2022) that is deemed most deserving for its contribution to the theory and practice of Operations Management. Papers published in 2021 and 2022 will also be eligible for the 2025 prize. <u1:p></u1:p>
Note: a change in prize procedures was approved last year so that papers must be nominated to be considered. This allows any paper in Operations Research to be nominated, not just those from the Operations and Supply Chain area, but nominations need to explain why the paper is OM (see next).<u1:p></u1:p>

Stage 3: The EiC of Operations Research and the president of MSOM will jointly select three senior operations management faculty (preferably MSOM fellows if possible), one of whom will chair a committee consisting of the three faculty plus the two Area Editors of the Operations and Supply Chains Area. This committee will determine the final outcome.<u1:p></u1:p>
