Kavli Prize 2022

Limited Submissions

Note: This is not a limited submission and is being sent out as a courtesy only.

The Kavli Prize recognizes and values that diverse perspectives enable breakthroughs, and we are committed to recognizing breakthrough science worldwide. We encourage nominators to be mindful of the full diversity of the scientific enterprise and be attuned to gender, race and ethnicity, geographical region, and institutional diversity. As you consider your nominations, below is some additional information to keep in mind:

  • Only breakthroughs in astrophysics, nanoscience and neuroscience are considered.
  • Up to five individuals can be recognized for their work on the same breakthrough.
  • Multiple nominations recognizing different breakthroughs are permitted.
  • Anyone can nominate, but self-nominations are not accepted.

Three $1 million prizes are awarded in astrophysics, nanoscience and neuroscience. Independent committees of distinguished scientists evaluate the nominations and put forward recommendations to the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters. Announcement of the next laureates is on June 1, 2022.

Failure to do so, or to meet the deadlines for submission of pre-proposal, will preclude submission of the application through the Office of Sponsored Programs.
