E. H. Moore Research Article Prize

About this program

The American Mathematical Society awards the E. H. Moore Research Article Prize to honor an outstanding research article in mathematics, recognizing authors whose published work has made a significant and lasting contribution (recent recipients include Gross, Hacking, Keel, and Kontsevich). The prize highlights a specific peer‑reviewed paper (frequently from the Journal of the American Mathematical Society) through AMS announcement and citation. Eligible candidates are the authors of a research article published within the period set by the AMS selection committee; eligibility and the exact time window are determined by AMS rules for each award cycle. Nomination and selection follow AMS procedures (peer nomination and committee review) as specified in the AMS prize guidelines.
