The Justine Lambert Graduate Prize in the Foundations of Science, established by a generous bequest from the sons and friends of Justine Lambert, is awarded every other year to the best submitted graduate paper dealing with the foundations of the formal, natural or social sciences. The winning paper will focus on the foundational issues arising in one or more of the special sciences, using tools, methods and results from scientific practice to cast light on the conceptual, philosophical, and scientific relevance of those issues. The competition is open to all graduate students at the University of California, Irvine regardless of department or school affiliation. Please direct inquiries to lps@uci.edu.

Award amount: $2000 (awarded as a stipend/fellowship)
