2011 STAA Awards
The 2011 STAA Awards are Now Available:
Level I | Level II | Level III | Honorable Mentions
The Science Advisory Board STAA nomination review committee elected not to review the nominations submitted to the Project and Research Reports Pilot Category. ORD is currently seeking other means of recognizing these accomplishments.
Level II awards - are for those who have accomplished a notably excellent research or technological effort that has qualities and values similar to, but to a lesser degree, than those described under Level I. Awarded research has timely consequences and contributes as an important scientific/technological achievement within its discipline or field of study.
Nominations Recommended for a Level II Award ($5,000) -- Total of Fifteen | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
