The David N. Kershaw Award and Prize recognizes young professionals under the age of 40 who have made distinguished contributions to the field of public policy analysis and management. The award, which includes a cash prize, goes to early-career professionals whose contributions to research-based knowledge have advanced the design, implementation, and evaluation of public policies.[1]

About

The award and prize, first presented in 1983, is made possible by a memorial endowment established in Kershaw's honor after his death from cancer at the age of 37.[2] He was the first president of Mathematica Policy Research and the founder of the Association for Public Policy Analysis & Management. The award is jointly administered by Mathematica and Association for Public Policy Analysis & Management.

According to the rules governing the award endowment, the selection committee always consists of the president of Mathematica, the president of APPAM, and the dean of the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University. Recipients of the Kershaw Award have gone on to win the Nobel Prize in Economics,[3] serve on the White House Council of Economic Advisers,[4] and advise the President of the United States on health care policy.[5]
