Final Call
The History of Science Society's Nathan Reingold Prize for an original
graduate student essay on the history of science and its cultural
influences.
Deadline for Submission: 1 June 2010
The deadline for the History of Science Society's 2010 Reingold Prize
for an essay by a graduate student is 1 June 2010. Please share this
information with the scholars and students in your department and
encourage students to enter their essays. For more information on the
Reingold prize, visit the HSS website at
http://www.hssonline.org/about/society_reingold.html.
The ideal Reingold Prize paper should be original; historiographically
sophisticated; based on primary sources, either published or archival;
clearly argued; well written; and interesting. Successful papers in the
past have come from parts of dissertations in progress or revised
seminar papers. The prize recognizes an original and unpublished article
(articles that have been accepted for publication are ineligible) on the
history of science and its cultural influences written by a graduate
student enrolled at any college, university, or institute of technology.
Essays in the history of medicine are not eligible for the prize;
however, papers dealing with the relations between medicine and the
non-medical sciences are welcome. It is hoped, but not assured, that the
winning article will merit publication in Isis.
Essays submitted for the competition must be thoroughly documented,
written in English, must not exceed 8,000 words in length (exclusive of
footnotes), and should conform to the latest edition of the Chicago
Manual of Style. We encourage electronic submissions of Word, rtf, or
pdf documents (file size under 5 megabytes - pictures should be low
resolution) to [log in to unmask] All information identifying the
author by name or school should be removed from the document except for
a coversheet that is separate from the body of the paper. If sending

detachable cover sheet (essays are read without knowledge of the
authors' identity).
All essays are due at the Executive Office by 1 June 2010. All entries
must be accompanied by proof that the author was a graduate student in
good standing at a school, college, or university some time during 2010.
This proof can take the form of a dated school ID, transcript, or
letter of support from an advisor on school letterhead. For other
suggestions for proof of eligibility, and all other questions regarding
the Reingold Prize, contact the History of Science Society at
