The Roux Prize is intended for anyone who has used health evidence in innovative ways to improve the health of the population. We welcome diverse entries: winners might be workers within government agencies, researchers at academic institutions, volunteers in charitable organizations, or health providers working in the community.
Each year, the winner receives $100,000 that can be put toward anything that the winner wishes. Past recipients have used their winnings to fund academic scholarships, their research, or their own life’s causes.
The winner of the Roux Prize is selected in two rounds. First, the Roux Prize Nomination Committee – comprised of distinguished individuals in population health research, policy, and practice – reviews all nominations and selects the finalists. Then, the finalists are reviewed and a winner is selected by the Roux Prize Nomination Board.
WORTH
- The prize is valued at $100,000 USD and is for the personal use of the recipients. An award citation and a medal will also be presented.
- If a group, rather than an individual, receives the award, the prize will be evenly divided among them. Each will receive an award citation and medal.
- Awards are made to residents of any country without restriction of gender, race, religion, creed, or nationality.
ELIGIBILITY
- Nominations are welcomed from across the globe. Preference is given to individuals, but groups are eligible. Self-nominations are discouraged. Current full-time faculty, fellows, or employees of IHME and the University of Washington are not eligible.
DEADLINE: February 28, 2020
