More information about nomination requirements can be found on the HPS website. Go to: https://hps.org/membersonly/operations/ and click on Awards Nominations. The deadline is 1 March (except for the National Student Science Award).  

All submissions must be submitted in electronic format. Nominations remain in the queue for 3 years, but you may want to consider updating previous submissions to include any important new information that may be valuable in evaluating the nomination.

For most awards, the Society rules require that nominations be made by chapter presidents, by section presidents, or by petition of six members of the Society. However, there are exceptions:
• Fellow Award nominations may be made by any plenary member.
• National Student Science Award nominations may be made by any plenary member, chapter president, or section president.
• Geoffrey G. Eichholz Outstanding Science Teacher Award nominations may be made by chapter presidents, section presidents, the chair of the Science Support Committee, or any full member of the Society.

Thank you for your time and attention in nominating someone for an award.
