Ideal Applicant
An individual author or academic researcher who published an eligible antitrust-focused article, book, or monograph in the preceding calendar year.
Good Fit
- • A recent scholarly publication on antitrust law or antitrust economics.
- • Work that aligns with the award’s stated values (economic justice, dispersal of economic power, enforcement of antitrust).
- • Submissions or nominations that meet the published eligibility window (publication in the prior calendar year).
- • An academic or research affiliation that documents the publication and scholarship.
Geography
Across three years recipients have been located in multiple U.S. jurisdictions and one international location, but the latest year’s grant was confined to a single state; overall footprint is national with occasional out-of-country awardees.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded multiple distinct individual recipients in 2022–2023 (three each year) and one in 2024, with no repeat recipients observed across the period; recipients are independent scholars rather than affiliated organizations, so variety is moderate but mission-narrow (antitrust scholarship).
New Applicants
Published award eligibility and committee procedures are available on the firm’s website and filings state the committee will consider publications whether identified by the committee or submitted by others; filings also show new recipients in each year observed, supporting plausible access for unfamiliar applicants.
