EMBS Awards Nomination and Selection Procedure

EMBS has a well-established Awards Program to recognize outstanding contributions and achievements in the field of Biomedical Engineering. There are two committees established to handle the EMBS Awards Program: the Member Recognition Committee and Awards Committee. 

The Member Recognition Committee is charged with the responsibility of: a) identifying worthy candidates for various Society Awards, and b) providing assistance to nominators for preparation of quality nominations that accurately reflect the nominees’ achievements. Any interested nominator is strongly encouraged to contact the Chair of the Member Recognition Committee to discuss potential nomination(s). This should be done at least two months before the nomination deadline so that the nomination(s) can be prepared carefully and adequately address the requirements and selection criteria of a particular Award. The Member Recognition Committee will seek nominators for identified candidates and help prepare the corresponding nomination packages.

The Awards Committee is charged with the responsibility of evaluating all the submitted nominations and selecting recipients for the Society Awards for approval by the EMBS AdCom. Members of the Awards Committee cannot participate in any nomination as a nominator or referee.
