[Iefac.list] REMINDER: INFORMS DEI Best Student Paper Award submissions due soon

[Larry Snyder]

We invite applications for the first-ever *INFORMS DEI Best Student Paper
Award.* The award honors outstanding papers on Diversity, Equity, and
Inclusion (DEI) and social justice-related issues using OR/MS methodologies
and written by a student member. The prizes will be awarded at the 2022
INFORMS Annual Meeting, and all finalists will be invited to present their
paper at a special session sponsored by the DEI Committee.
The deadline for applications is *June 30, 2022.* Applications consist of
the paper itself and a letter from the student's advisor(s) certifying that
all eligibility requirements have been met. Applications must be submitted
on the INFORMS award website.

(*New since the first announcement!*) Finalists of the Diversity, Equity,
and Inclusion (DEI) Award are welcome to submit their original, unpublished
work to *Management Science* (MS). If the authors opt to do this, they must
inform the DEI Committee Chair within a month after the finalists are
announced. If this option is chosen, papers will be forwarded to MS
Editor-In-Chief (EIC) or appropriate Department Editors (DEs), along with
their reviews. MS EIC and/or DEs will conduct additional screening and may
opt to "sponsor" individual papers by sending out a formal invitation to
submit to the journal. Authors of papers invited by MS editors will have
two months to submit to the journal. At that point, the paper will undergo
the journal review process handled by the "sponsoring" editor.

Further information is available in the attached document. For additional
information about the nomination process or the award, please contact the
award committee co-chairs, Dr. Ebru Bish (ekbish at cba.ua.edu) or Dr. Larry
Snyder (lvs2 at lehigh.edu).
