The Wagner Prize is awarded annually by INFORMS to recognize and reward quality and coherence of analysis used in practice. This award, given in memory of the late Daniel H. Wagner, was established by a generous endowment from the firms Metron, Inc.; Daniel H. Wagner, Associates, Inc.; and Applied Mathematics, Inc..
In recognition of Dr. Wagner's career-long efforts to encourage application of strong mathematics to practical problems, supported by clear and intelligible writing, this prize emphasizes the quality and coherence of the analysis used in practice, good writing, strong analytical content, and verifiable practice successes.
The competition is held each year at the INFORMS Annual Meeting. The award consists of a cash amount, to be determined each year by the board of The Practice Section, and a citation plaque giving the authors' names and a summary or title of the work. Upon satisfactory submission of a paper acceptable to the editor(s) designated by the Practice Section, the winning team receive the cash award and certificates and winners' plaques; all other finalists receive certificates.
The deadline for submissions for the 2023 competition is 11:59 pm EDT on May 1. Please visit Wagner Prize or contact the Committee Chair (James Cochran) at WagnerPrize@informs.org with questions about this award.
