Call for Nominations: Roux Prize 2021. Nominations are now open for the 2021 Roux Prize. The Roux Prize was created in 2013 to honor individuals or groups from around the world who have used health evidence in bold, innovative, and impactful ways.

The prize recognizes the person who has used health evidence in bold ways to make people healthier – and to highlight just what’s possible when visionaries use health evidence to change lives.

Award

Basically, the $100,000 Roux Prize is awarded annually by the nomination process described above.

Eligibility

• Nominations are welcomed from across the globe. Preference is given to individuals, but groups are eligible. Self-nominations are discouraged.
• Current full-time faculty, fellows, or employees of IHME and the University of Washington are not eligible.

Selection Process

The winner of the Roux Prize is selected in two rounds. First, the Roux Prize 2021 Nomination Committee – comprised of distinguished individuals in population health research, policy, and practice – reviews all nominations and selects the finalists. After a review, a winner is selected by the Roux Prize Nomination Board.
