Please take a moment to read AEESP's Conflict of Interest Policy to ensure nominators and/or nominees do not pose a conflict of interest prior to submitting nominations.
One nomination per cycle for the Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Award category (comprising Jacobs, Roberts, and Bouwer Awards) may be submitted by a single nominator. Nominations need only be submitted once through the nomination links for any of these three awards, and will be automatically considered for all three awards during the review process. The AEESP Awards Committee has ultimate discretion for which Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Award is selected for an awardee.
When to apply:
The nomination period is open beginning October 15, 2024 and will close January 15, 2025 at 11:59 pm ET (U.S.).
Complete nomination package includes:
- A nomination message to include items listed on the form below.
- A project summary written by the student, including an overview, the advancement of environmental science and engineering, and intellectual merit and broader impacts of the work (similar to an NSF proposal). This document is limited to 1200 words.
- A 2-page CV for the student.
These first-stage submissions will be evaluated on the contributions to the advancement of environmental engineering and science, intellectual merit and broader impacts of the research and clarity of presentation. The most highly ranked nominees will be invited to submit full-length dissertations for a second-stage review and consideration for a dissertation award. Second-stage evaluation criteria are similar to first-state review.
