The National Academy of Sciences does not accept self-nominations. Joint nominations are discouraged; they are considered only when nominees have collaborated closely—usually in the same laboratory—on the work to be recognized by the award.

The awards recipients will be announced in January 2010. For more information about the nomination process, contact the Academy at awards@nas.edu or call 202.334.1602.
