Call for Nominations: Materials Research Society Medal
The MRS Medal is intended to offer public and professional recognition of an exceptional achievement in materials research in the past ten years. A Medal will be awarded for a major advance or series of closely related advances that is expected to have a major impact on the progress of the relevant materials field.
Each Medal will consist of a $5,000 cash prize, an engraved and mounted Medal, and a citation certificate. The registration fee and reasonable travel expenses to the MRS Meeting where the award presentation is made will be reimbursed.
Administration
The MRS Medal program is managed by the Medal Subcommittee of the MRS Awards Committee. The subcommittee is responsible for soliciting and evaluating nominations annually and recommending nominees to the MRS Board for final approval.
Rules and Eligibility
Nomination for the MRS Medal is open to scientists and engineers who have, within the past ten years, been responsible for a major advance, or series of closely related advances, in any materials-related field of research. The impact of their materials research upon the relevant materials field will be a primary consideration in making the awards. The Medal may recognize such impact within a larger traditional field or in a more specialized or developing field. Preference will generally be given to nominations for work which has not previously received appropriate award recognition. Please note that the MRS Medal is intended to highlight a specific, high-impact achievement or a series of closely related achievements in contrast to other awards whose criteria may often be based on accumulated lifetime achievements.
A nominee need not be a member of the Materials Research Society. Current members of the MRS Medal Award Subcommittee, MRS Board members and previous MRS Medal recipients are not eligible. The selection of the Medal winners must be approved by the MRS Board based upon recommendation from the Awards Committee; the decision of the Board is final. Medals will not be awarded in absentia except in extraordinary circumstances. A Medal will normally be awarded to one individual for a cited achievement. However, the Medal may be awarded for a cited achievement attributable to two or three individuals. In that case, each recipient will receive a personal medal trophy, registration, and travel support. The cash award will be divided equally. Nominations remain active for three years. Updates may be made by resubmitting all components (updated and original).
