Election as a Fellow of AAAS is an honor bestowed upon members by their peers. Fellows are recognized for meritorious efforts to advance science or its applications.

Nominations

• the Steering Groups of the Association's 24 sections, or

• any three Fellows who are current AAAS members, so long as two of the three sponsors are not affiliated with the nominee's institution, or
  

• the Chief Executive Officer.

Nomination Review and Election

Nominations undergo review by the Steering Groups of the Association's sections (the Chair, Chair-Elect, Retiring Chair, Secretary, and four Members-at-Large of each section).

Each Steering Group reviews only those nominations designated for its section. Names of Fellow nominees who are approved by the Steering Groups are presented to the AAAS Council for election.
