E. H. Moore Research Article Prize Explained

The E. H. Moore Research Article Prize, also called the Moore Prize, is one of twenty-two prizes given out by the American Mathematical Society (AMS).^[1] It recognizes an outstanding research article to have appeared in one of the AMS primary research journals during the previous six years. The prize was funded in 2002 in memory of the former AMS president E. H. Moore. Beginning in 2004, it is awarded every three years at the Joint Mathematics Meetings and carries a cash reward of $5,000.
