Awards and Funding Opportunities
AAAS Newcomb Cleveland Prize
Originally called the AAAS Thousand Dollar Prize, AAAS established this award in 1923 with funds donated anonymously by Newcomb Cleveland of New York City. Cleveland, a life member of AAAS, preferred to remain unnamed until his death in 1951. Initially, the prize went to an author or authors for a noteworthy paper, representing an outstanding contribution to science. In 1975, AAAS amended criteria for the prize to award the author or authors of an outstanding paper published in the Research Articles or Reports sections of Science. Note: No award given in 1942-1945, 1948, 1973, 1975, or 1976. The winner also receives reimbursement for reasonable travel and hotel expenses to attend the AAAS Annual Meeting.
