At the end of April, Prairie View A&M University was announced the winner of the 2023 WRDS-SSRN Innovation Award for the North America region. The WRDS-SSRN Innovation Award program has been developed by Wharton Research Data Services and SSRN to highlight an institution which has produced particularly impactful research, which can help to affect policy and practice across the world.

Each year, a rising business school is selected to receive the award, which serves as a testament to their commitment to growth and innovation in academic research.

“Congratulations to Dr. Munir Quddus, Dean of the College of Business and all of the researchers at Prairie View A&M University,” said Gregory Gordon, SSRN’s Managing Director. “SSRN is excited to continue to partner with WRDS and provide greater visibility to business schools doing important research, like Prairie View A&M University, through this innovation award and the WRDS Research Paper Series on SSRN.”

The award was presented during an exclusive event hosted by WRDS. You can read a full report on Wharton’s website here.
