presence of an already-funded author wouldn’t eliminate the paper from eligibility.
Awardees were eligible for up to $1,000 per year, and $1,000 per article. In the case of articles with
multiple local authors, all authors were considered awardees and the $1,000 cap per article still applied.
Funds are distributed in a single award to the applicant (one applicant per publication). For papers with

Only first or corresponding author on a paper may apply for funding.
Only one author per article can apply.
