In 2005, PIMS became an equal partner and the name was changed to the CRM-Fields-PIMS Prize. The prize recognizes exceptional achievement in the mathematical sciences.<\/p>\n<p>The CRM-Fields-PIMS Prize consists of an award of $10,000 with no restriction of use, funded equally by the three institutes. The winner is invited to give a lecture at each institute during the semester when the award is announced.<\/p>\n<h3>Eligibility, Criteria and Continuity<\/h3>\n<p>The winner&#8217;s research, which forms the primary basis for the award, should have been conducted mainly in Canada or in affiliation with a Canadian university.<\/p>\n<p>The main selection criterion is outstanding contribution to the advancement of research. The prize recognizes the breadth, depth and international impact of the candidate&#8217;s research. The nomination deadline is November 1 of each calendar year. The Selection Committee actively encourages nominations of women and underrepresented groups for this award.<\/p>\n<h3>What is expected from the laureate<\/h3>\n<p>The institutes expect that each laureate will deliver a lecture at the institute which hosted the award during the semester when the prize is announced. The other two institutes may also extend invitations for the candidate to deliver a lecture at their respective insititutes.<\/p>\n<h3>Selection process<\/h3>\n<p>The awardee is chosen by a Selection Committee. The decision of the committee is final. The committee is chaired by each of the three institutes in turn. The institute that chairs the Selection Committee is the host of the award for that year. The institute will appoint a person who will act as Chair of the Selection Committee for the year.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default panel-4b7d28b93b6840032
