In 2001, the members of MAMA created the
Jim Falls Paper Prize, to be awarded to the best paper delivered
at the annual conference by a Graduate student.
The prize includes a monetary award of $100.
Graduate students are encouraged to send a completed copy of their paper
along with their name, university institution and graduate status and address to
Linda E. Mitchell.
Please do not submit an entry if you have previously received

The paper you submit should be the paper you intend to present
