To be eligible for the 2021 award, a nominee must have been 40 years old or younger on January 31, 2021.
Nominations are to be submitted electronically to Feryal Erhun (f.erhun@jbs.cam.ac.uk) by May 10, 2021.
Nominations may be made by any MSOM Society member, including the nominee. Nominations must consist of:

An MSOM Young Scholar Award Committee will choose the recipient of the award. The committee will use the following criteria:
- The extent to which the contributions of the nominee advance the body of scholarly knowledge in operations management.
- The originality of the questions, concepts, ideas or methods developed and/or the degree to which existing theory and knowledge are unified or simplified.
- The impact of the contributions within the operations management research community.

The award includes a cash prize of $1000. If more than one person is chosen to receive the award, the cash prize will be divided up equally among the recipients.
