The Daryl Daley Prize recognises outstanding research published in the APT journals, and is intended to honour the memory of Daryl Daley, an internationally recognized applied probabilist and long-time trustee of the Applied Probability Trust. The award is intended to highlight articles that have demonstrated significant impact and generated broad interest within the applied probability community. The award is administered by the trustees of the Applied Probability Trust and is awarded on a biannual basis. The award has the following details:
Frequency: Biannual (first award presented in 2027) and is awarded at the Applied Probability Society conference
Prize: £2,000 (divided amongst authors equally)
Recipients: Author(s) of the selected article
Certificate: An official award certificate will be issued to all recipients. Authors unable to attend the award ceremony will receive their certificate by post.
The prize will be awarded in odd-numbered years. For the prize awarded in year x, the prize will recognize work published in Journal of Applied Probability and Advances in Applied Probability in years x-5 to year x-2, a rolling window of four years. The criteria used for selection will include scholarly impact, originality and significance, and the level of interest generated within the applied probability community. Nominations are generated from within the editorial board of the APT journals. As such, no external nominations will be solicited or accepted for this prize.
For any questions on any aspect of this prize, please contact the APT office.

In 2021, the Applied Probability Trust made a contribution to a memorial fund for Professor Elizabeth Meckes who passed away in December 2020. Elizabeth was a valued member of the Applied Probability Journals' editorial board. This fund, managed by the Case Western Reserve University Department of Mathematics, Applied Mathematics and Statistics, is used to sponsor an annual lecture. The event website can be found here.
