The Dan David Prize is turning its focus to history and the study of the past.
We will award up to 9 prizes annually of $300,000 each to early- and mid-career researchers and practitioners to recognize significant achievements in the study of the past and support the winners’ future endeavors.
We are holding an open nomination process, seeking outstanding researchers in disciplines such as history, archaeology, art history, digital humanities and human paleontology. Nominees could come from within academia or outside it, and include independent scholars, public historians, museum curators and documentary filmmakers.
