The Dan David Prize will award nine scholars $300,000 each for research focused on understanding the human past, the foundation announced. Recipients include historians and archaeologists, with the awards intended to recognize past work and support future research efforts. The prize is presented by the Dan David Foundation, which selects scholars whose research contributes to broader knowledge of human history and development. Separate reporting from Canada’s Winnipeg Free Press and a Phys.org update both describe the same round of awards, including the number of scholars—nine—and the uniform prize amount of $300,000 per recipient. The announcements emphasize the foundation’s role in identifying researchers in these fields and providing financial support to help them continue their studies. Both outlets characterize the awards as recognition for established research and as funding that enables further work in archaeology and history related to the human past.
