About The Hartmann Award
  The Hartmann Award is given for an outstanding graduate student or ABD paper presented at the ISA-Northeast annual conference. The award winner is announced at the ISA-NE regional conference subsequent to the one at which the winning paper was presented. The awardee receives a certificate, a one-year student membership in ISA, and a $100 prize at the annual ISA conference following the award's announcement.
  Any paper presented on a panel sponsored by the ISA-Northeast at the joint ISA-NE/NPSA annual conference each November may be considered for the Hartmann Award. Panel chairs and discussants may nominate outstanding papers, or paper-givers may self-nominate. Nomination forms are provided at the conference registration desk.
  The award review committee, composed of members of the ISA-NE Executive Committee -- read and score the nominated papers individually, assigning points based on criteria established by the committee. Should the committee decide that no paper merits the Hartmann Award in a particular year, the award is not given.
  The Hartmann Award is named after Dr. Frederick H. Hartmann, a distinguished international relations scholar born in 1922 in New York City who received his Ph.D. from Princeton University in 1949. Dr. Hartmann, who taught many years at the University of Florida, the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island, and a host of other public and private institutions, including overseas, produced a dozen books on international relations and foreign policy, including student texts. His definition of "international relations" was included in UNESCO's Social Science Dictionary published in 1965. Having served on several national and state committees and boards of higher education and as a Captain in the U.S. Naval Reserve, Dr. Hartmann retired from the Naval War College as Alfred Thayer Mahan Professor Emeritus.
  The application deadline is December 15th (of the year the paper is presented at the November conference).
