The basis of the award is for individuals who have: (1) a substantial, long-term history of technical contributions that have had major impact on the radiation effects community. Examples include benchmark work that initiated major research and development activities or a major body of work that provided a solution to a widely recognized problem in radiation effects; and\/or (2) a demonstrated long-term history of outstanding and innovative leadership contributions in support of the radiation effects community. Examples include initiation or development of innovative approaches for promoting cooperation and exchange of technical information or outstanding leadership in support of the professional development of the members of the radiation effects community.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Radiation Effects Early Achievement Award<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The purpose of the Radiation Effects Early Achievement Award is to recognize an individual early in his or her career whose technical contributions and leadership have had a significant impact on the field of radiation effects. The basis of the award is for individuals whose technical contributions and leadership during the first ten years of the recipient\u2019s career that have had a major impact on the Radiation Effects Community. Examples include work that provides a solution to important technical problems in radiation effects or work that identifies significant new issues in the field. Other factors are cumulative research contributions over the first part of the career, internationally recognized leadership, and mentorship. It is the intent of the RESG to give special consideration for this award to members of the community who are IEEE\/NPSS members.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Suggested Nomination Strategy<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the 7th or 8th year mark in the individual\u2019s career, evaluate the impact of the meritorious criteria that supports an NPSS nomination. A good resource to check is the citations for past awardees [https:\/\/ieee-npss.org\/technical-committees\/radiation-effects\/]. Note that there is strong emphasis on pioneering technical contributions and less emphasis on leadership. If you feel the nomination will be competitive, submit the individual for the NPSS Award at this time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the case that the individual is not selected, there is still time to submit a nomination for the Radiation Effects Award.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the case that the individual is selected, he or she has another year or two to excel in a different aspect of his or her work and could possibly qualify for the Radiation Effects Early Career Award.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Radiation Effects Award for Exemplary Service to Meetings and Conferences<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The purpose of the award is to recognize a member of the Radiation Effects community who has demonstrated exemplary services to the meetings and conferences of the Radiation Effects Committee over a sustained period. The basis of the award is for members of the Radiation Effects community who have demonstrated exemplary services to the meetings and conferences of the Radiation Effects Committee over a sustained period of at least five years.\u00a0 Student members are not eligible to be nominated for the award.
