The award honors Fischer Black, a former General Partner at Goldman Sachs and Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Among Black's notable research accomplishments was the development (with Myron Scholes) of the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. The awardee is chosen for having a body of research that embodies the Fischer Black hallmark of developing original research. In years where no such candidate meets the rigorous standards, as was the case in 2005, no award is presented.

The Fischer Black Prize is one of two biennial awards presented by the American Finance Association (the other is the Morgan Stanley-American Finance Association Award For Excellence In Finance) [cite web|url=http://www.afajof.org/association/morganstanley.asp|accessdate=2007-09-09|title=Morgan Stanley AFA Award|publisher=American Finance Association|2007-05-24] in alternating years at its annual conference to scholars for bodies of research. The Association also awards two annual awards for individual research publications at its conference (Smith Breeden Prize and Brattle Prize).
