About: Fellows
http://www.aaas.org//aboutaaas/fellows/index.shtml
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.
The 3-Fellow nomination period for 2012 is now closed. Only those 3-Fellow nominations which were complete and received by deadline of 11:59 p.m. Eastern on April 11, 2012 will be considered for the current cycle.
Nomination packets are currently being reviewed in the order received to verify completeness. Primary sponsors should expect to receive an email regarding the status of their submission by the end of April. If you submitted a nomination packet and do not receive an email by the end of April, please contact us.
Those nominations which move forward will be voted on by the AAAS Council in the fall of 2012. Primary sponsors, as well as those who are elected Fellows, will receive notification via U.S. mail.
If you have any questions on the 3-Fellow nomination process, please contact Kelly O’Brien at kobrien@aaas.org or (202) 326-6468.
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.
Each nominee must receive the approval of a majority of the Steering Group members, with no more than two opposed, in order to be included in the slate of Fellow nominees that is presented to the Council for a final vote.
