after Raymond Vernon died in August 1999. Among his many lifetime accomplishments,
Vernon contributed to the Marshall Plan for rebuilding Europe after World War
II, led the development team for the Peanut M&M (tm), was among the first to
conduct quantitative analyses of stock markets using computers, served on the
faculty of the Harvard University Business School and the Kennedy School of Government,
and was the founding editor of the Journal of Policy Analysis and Management.

and Management (APPAM) seeks to recognize excellence in research by annually
selecting a research paper published in the current volume of the Journal
of Policy Analysis and Management to receive the Vernon Memorial Prize.

share a cash award in the amount of $1,000 in addition to a certificate, recognition
at the annual APPAM Fall Research Conference, and recognition in the Journal
of Policy Analysis and Management. A separate grant covering travel costs
to the Fall Research Conference also will be provided to one author.
Eligibility: Any research article accepted for publication
in the current volume of the journal is eligible for the award.
Selection Procedure: The journal's editorial office and
current editor are in charge of the selection process, including the appointment
of three persons to serve as the prize selection committee. The committee reviews
