Award Details

Nemmers Prizes are awarded for achievement in economics, earth sciences, mathematics, and medical sciences. (For the Nemmers Prize in music, see the Michael Ludwig Nemmers Prize in Music Composition). The prizes were established by the Nemmers family for work of lasting significance. Recipients are selected every two years and spend several weeks in residence at Northwestern University in addition to receiving a monetary award. Seminars and conferences are often held in conjunction with their visits.

Winners of the prestigious awards are recognized as renowned leaders from institutions outside of Northwestern who have made lasting contributions to new knowledge or the development of significant new modes of analysis. The cross-disciplinary prizes are awarded every other year and carry some of the largest stipends in their fields. Winners of the prizes in medical science, economics, mathematics and earth sciences each receive $200,000.

Next deadlines: 2025 (for 2026 awards)
