CALL FOR NOMINATIONS FOR NPSS AWARDS
The Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society
gives three different categories of awards each year. Some Awards are
given by the Society, some by a Technical Committee, and some by
individual Conferences.
In addition, there are several IEEE-level Awards for technical
achievement in areas that overlap with the NPSS. Descriptions of all
Awards given by all parts of the NPSS can be found
in [Summary of All Awards (PDF)].
Descriptions of all Awards given by IEEE can be found in the [IEEE/TAB Awards Manual (PDF)].
Nomination forms for the Society Awards may be obtained below or from:

NPSS
Awards
These four NPSS awards can be given to applicants
who are in any of the technical fields of the NPSS. The deadline for
receiving nominations for any of these Awards is January 31 of each
year. All nomination forms and supporting materials must be received by
this deadline to be considered.
The NPSS Awards should be submitted electronically [Submit an Award Nomination].
Technical
Committee
Awards
Technical Committee Awards are generally given only
to people who work in that specific technical field. These Awards are
administered by the individual Technical Committees, and so their
nomination deadlines, forms, and submission instructions depend on the
Award. Links to information on these Awards are given below.
Conference
Awards
Most NPSS conference present an Award for the
Outstanding Student Paper presented at that conference. For information
on the submission instructions, forms, and application deadlines for
these Awards, please contact the General Chairman of the relevant
Conference. In addition, NPSS-sponsored Conferences that have Short
Courses solicit nominations for Paul Phelps Continuing Education
Grants. These grants are intended either for tuition in NPSS Sponsored
Short Courses or for partial or total travel expenses to attend NPSS
Short Courses. These grants are available for outstanding Student
Members of NPSS and unemployed members of NPSS who need assistance in
changing career directions. Application forms can be obtained below,
and information on the submission instructions and application
deadlines should be obtained from the General Chairman of the relevant
Conference.
IEEE
Awards
These are high level Awards that are administered by
IEEE and open
to all IEEE members. While there are many IEEE-level Awards, there are
a few that are particularly relevant to the technical fields of most
NPSS members. Their nomination deadlines, forms, and submission
instructions depend on the Award. Links to information on these Awards
are given below.
Below is a brief description of the IEEE NPSS Award Process:
1. Awards applications
received.
2. Packages duplicated and mailed to members of award committee.
3. Rankings received back from the committee and a spreadsheet

unsuccessful nominee.
6. Awardees names submitted to IEEE. Liz Parascondola
