Picking Winners: How the "Genius Grants" Are Awarded (Harvard Business Review)

Publisher: Harvard Business School Publishing
Author: Diane Coutu
Audio lenght: 19 min.

MacArthur Fellows Program Director Daniel J. Socolow talks with HBR's Diane Coutu about how the very prestigious annual "genius grants" are awarded. The prize is $500,000, no strings attached, and it's designed to recognize extraordinarily gifted and creative people. Like the Pulitzer Prize or the Rhodes scholarship, the MacArthur is widely seen as one of the awards to win - remarkably, given that the fellowship, one of the first major programs of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, is only in its 27th year.

From the May 2007 issue of Harvard Business Review.
