Blackwell–Tapia prize
The Blackwell–Tapia Prize is a mathematics award that recognizes active mathematical scientists who have (1) contributed and continue to contribute significantly to research in their fields of expertise, and (2) served as role models for mathematical scientists and students from underrepresented minority groups or contributed in other significant ways to addressing the problem of the underrepresentation of minorities in mathematics [1] It is presented every other year at the Blackwell-Tapia Conference,[2] which promotes mathematical excellence by minority researchers and is sponsored by the National Science Foundation. The prize is named for David Blackwell and Richard Tapia. [3]
