AAPT established the awards program to recognize and honor those who have made contributions to the association, to physics education, and to physics research.
The AAPT Awards Committee invites nominations for the association's various awards. Use this Form to submit a nomination and send the completed form to:
Harvey S. Leff, Chair AAPT Awards Committee 538 E. Bishop Place Claremont, CA 91711
There is no specific deadline for nominations and nominees remain under consideration for five years (with materials carried forward from one year's Awards Committee to the next). After five years, nominees are not given further consideration until renominated. The Awards Committee strongly encourages nominations with supporting documentation but discourages excessive or redundant material. As befits an international society, association-wide significance or national impact is a major consideration. Sections are encouraged to present awards of regional or local character. Final decisions for awards are typically made during the National Meeting immediately preceding the one at which the award is to be presented.
