Dear Friends of Excellence in Science,
This year’s nomination process has been a raging
success! In years passed the number of nomination
packets submitted for this award were between 4 and 12.
Since then, the number of nominations has grown to last
year’s amazing 58 nominations. Now, with extra
publicity, the addition of a website, and online
submissions we have received a record-breaking 130
nominations! Still more exciting - the growth in
quantity of submissions was more than matched by growth
in quality. Thank you for your interest and
participation!
The Executive office weeded through all the nomination
packets to check for complete compliance with the
requirements of the award.
-
One (1) nomination letter, setting forth in detail:
-
Contribution(s) to the field that represents the nominee’s
outstanding achievement in science.
- Leadership and mentorship.
-
Evidence of national recognition.
-
Honors and awards, synopsis of selected bibliography.
-
One (1) full curriculum vitae including all publications.
-
One (1) each of no more than 5 reprints.
-
One (1) of each additional letters of support.
-
Recommendations from former trainees are encouraged.
103 of the 130 nomination packets submitted were found
to be complete, and were passed on to the Award
Committee March 29, 2005.
The
Excellence in Science Award Committee began it’s
deliberations of the 103 complete nomination packets
