Ernest Orlando Lawrence Prize
The Ernest Orlando Lawrence Award was donated in 1959 by the US Department of Energy in honor of Ernest Lawrence , the inventor of the cyclotron and Nobel Prize winner , immediately after his death . It is endowed with 50,000 dollars and was initially awarded annually, since 1994 every two years in seven categories: chemistry, environmental science and technology, biology (with medicine), materials science, national security, nuclear technology, physics.
Criteria and selection process
It is awarded to American scientists and engineers for exceptional research achievements (specifically for research in the area of responsibility of the Department of Energy). The award winners should be established scientists in the middle of their careers (around 20 years after their doctorate or university degree) and are therefore not intended as a lifetime achievement award. He is associated with a gold medal with the image of Lawrence.
The award winners are nominated by around 4,000 research organizations and scientists who have been invited and are determined by a committee.
