Bradley Prize
The Bradley Prizes is a major grant to individuals who are "innovative thinkers". According to the foundation the Bradley Prize is to "formally recognize individuals of extraordinary talent and dedication who have made contributions of excellence in areas consistent with The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation’s mission." As many as four Prizes of $250,000 each are awarded annually. It has been described by some as a politically conservative leaning "Genius grant", like that given by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.
