As a leading professional society in production and operations management, POMS and its geographical chapters are responsible for influencing, recognizing, and rewarding its members for their unusually high accomplishments in their early careers. Therefore, the POMS India Chapter has created The POMS India Chapter Early Career Research Accomplishments Award to recognize these accomplishments. The award will be presented during the 2024 POMS India International Conference in Ranchi, India.
DEFINITION OF EARLY‐CAREER RESEARCHER
An “Early‐Career Researcher” will be defined as someone who has received a doctoral degree or its equivalent (in India or abroad) within the previous six years. For the 2024 POMS India International Conference, an applicant should have received the doctoral degree on or after July 1st, 2018. The applicant should currently serve as a full-time POM faculty at an academic institution in India and have served in this role in India for at least four of the previous six years.

AWARD CRITERIA
Accomplishments can be measured in many ways, with publications and presentations given primary importance. If properly documented, work published (or formally accepted for publication) or presented at a conference within the six‐year eligibility period will be considered in the evaluation process.
The judges will evaluate the work’s impact regarding its ability to broaden, extend, and alter how POM is conceptualized, practiced, and viewed. The judges are not required to give awards if applicants do not meet the standards they establish.
For this award, there will be at most two recipients. The first-place winner gets a prize of Rupees 20,000.00, and the runner‐up receives a prize of Rupees 10,000.00. If both winners tie up for the first place, then each winner will get a prize of Rupees 15,000.00. Awards will not be given if the nominees do not meet the standards. The winner(s) of the award will be notified by November 15th, 2024, and the award plaque and cheque will be presented during the awards function at the conference.
