How important is the Kershaw Award in the world of social science-related research?
The APPAM office recently gathered data on major awards bestowed by other social science-related associations. The data suggests that the David N. Kershaw Award and Prize of $10,000 is among the largest in the social sciences. Only a few other associations currently offer a prize in the amount of $10,000 to recognize distinguished achievement. The prize amount for the Kershaw is determined by the return on its endowment, and could change in future years.
