The Warren Alpert Prize is given internationally, and since its inception, seven Nobel Prize winners have received the award. The prize is administered in concert with Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts and the Warren Alpert Foundation, located in Providence, Rhode Island. An annual symposium is held at Harvard Medical School each fall where the recipients present their work. The prize currently includes $250,000, a citation, and plaque.
