Awards Help

It is best to enter a Society email address. Use our Member Directory or Certification Directory to look up their Society email.

Add your secondary email at My Account to have the awards system also recognize another email for you.

Upon entering a reference, an email is sent from awards@sciencesocieties.org containing instructions to submit the letter. When reference writers submit a letter, an email is sent to the nominator notifying them a reference has been submitted.

Use the Member Directory or Certification Directory to assist you in completing a nomination, including a nominee's leadership and committee service.

Character limits include all text, punctuation, and spaces.

You can edit a nomination up until the final submission deadline.

Nominations are not considered complete until all reference letters are submitted. Nominators: Monitor reference letters and submit the completed nomination by the final submission deadline.
