The World Bank’s Gender
and Development program and LIS will jointly sponsor a new LIS Working
Paper award.
The award is for papers that have a focus on gender and that
include at least one middle-income country.
The new award will be
presented once each year to the author(s) of the best eligible LIS Working
Paper submitted to LIS during the prior year.
Awards will be granted for
Working Papers submitted in 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011.
Eligible papers will be
peer reviewed.

Note:
As of 2007, the LIS
