The '''ACL Computational Linguistics Doctoral Dissertation Award''' (short form: '''ACL Dissertation Award''') was established in 2024 through a proposal from the ''[https://cljournal.org/ Computational Linguistics]'' journal, as a new initiative by the ACL. This was also the year in which the ''Computational Linguistics'' journal celebrated its 50th anniversary.

	The award aims to recognize and promote outstanding doctoral research in the field of computational linguistics and natural language processing. Starting in 2025, the award will be presented annually at the ACL conference. It includes a monetary prize and funding to cover the recipient's travel expenses to attend the conference. Additionally, the recipient will deliver an oral presentation during a special session at the conference and receive a certificate presented by the current President of the ACL. Each year, one winner will be selected, with the possibility of several honorable mentions.
