APPAM created this award in 1990. All funding for the award comes from APPAM's operating budget, and this is the only award given through the association that is funded in this manner. The practice of naming two honorable mentions in addition to the winner began in 1997.

Purpose of Award: The Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management (APPAM) seeks to recognize emergent scholars in the field of public policy and management by presenting an award for the best Ph.D. dissertation in public policy and management.

Nature of Award: Winners receive a cash award in the amount of $1,500 in addition to a plaque, recognition at the annual APPAM Fall Research Conference, and publication of an abstract in the Journal of Policy Analysis and Management. A separate grant covering travel costs to the fall conference also will be provided. The award winner, and two honorable mentions, will be given an opportunity to present posters of their dissertations during the research conference.
