The Clay Research Award is an annual award given by the Oxford-based Clay Mathematics Institute to mathematicians to recognize their achievements in mathematical research. The following mathematicians have received the award:

Year	Winner	Citation
2024	Paul Nelson James Newton and Jack Thorne	"in recognition of his groundbreaking contributions to the analytic theory of automorphic forms. His work has resulted in the first convexity-breaking bounds for a large class of L-functions on the critical line (including all the standard ones of GL(n))." "for their remarkable proof of the existence of the symmetric power functorial lift for Hilbert modular forms."
2023	Frank Merle, Pierre Raphaël, Igor Rodnianski and Jérémie Szeftel	"for their groundbreaking advances in the understanding of singular solutions to the fundamental equations of fluids dynamics, including their construction of smooth self-similar solutions for the compressible Euler equation, and families of finite-energy blow-up solutions for both the compressible Euler and Navier-Stokes equations."
2022	Søren Galatius and Oscar Randal-Williams John Pardon	"for their profound contributions to the understanding of high dimensional manifolds and their diffeomorphism groups; they have transformed and reinvigorated the subject." "in recognition of his wide-ranging and transformative work in geometry and topology, particularly his groundbreaking achievements in symplectic topology."
2021	Bhargav Bhatt	"For his groundbreaking achievements in commutative algebra, arithmetic algebraic geometry, and topology in the p-adic setting."
2020	not awarded
2019	Wei Zhang Tristan Buckmaster, Philip Isett and Vlad Vicol	"In recognition of his ground-breaking work in arithmetic geometry and arithmetic aspects of automorphic forms." "In recognition of the profound contributions that each of them has made to the analysis of partial differential equations, particularly the Navier-Stokes and Euler equations."
2018	not awarded
2017	Aleksandr Logunov and Eugenia Malinnikova Jason Miller and Scott Sheffield Maryna Viazovska	"In recognition of their introduction of a novel geometric combinatorial method to study doubling properties of solutions to elliptic eigenvalue problems."
