HPS awards provide an excellent opportunity to recognize outstanding and extraordinary scientific and other significant contributions and service to our profession. There are many deserving potential recipients still to be formally recognized. The time to nominate individuals for an award is any time between the end of an annual meeting and 1 March before the next annual meeting, except for the National Student Science Award, which is due by 30 May before the next annual meeting. Society members, chapters, and sections are encouraged to give thoughtful consideration to potential candidates and submit nominations for awards to be presented at the next annual meeting.

HPS members can find more information on the nomination process, including a description of each award, who is eligible, and material required for a nomination, on the Awards Nomination Process page in the Members Only area of the HPS website.
