== Award ==
The prize consists of three awards in the fields of [[astronomy]], [[Biology|life science]] and [[medicine]], and [[Mathematics|mathematical sciences]]; it is not awarded posthumously. Nominations are submitted by invited individuals beginning each year in September. Winners are announced in the summer and receive the award at a ceremony in early autumn. Each award consists of a gold medal, a certificate and [[US dollar|USD]]$1.2 million (US$1 million before 2015).
