Nomination Package:

The information provided in this nomination package will constitute the entire basis upon which the selection committee assesses the nominee. Personal knowledge of a candidate’s accomplishments by one or more of the selection committee members will not be a factor in determining the outcome of the nomination. Since each submission package is strictly limited in size, it is important to select the information with care, and present it concisely. The nomination must be written and submitted in English.

*Summary Citation: A statement of 30 words or fewer, stating the area of achievements on which the nomination is based.

*Nomination Statement:

The Nomination Statement represents the essential substance of the Nomination Package. The Nomination Statement should describe the entire basis for the nomination. It should be informative, clear, concise and complete. It may include graphics, but they are not required. It should explain, in non-specialist terms, the nature and importance of the nominee’s most significant accomplishments and activities. Specific, factual, and convincing information provided in this description will be the evidential basis upon which the nomination is evaluated. We emphasize that a nominee's celebrity status alone, without a self-sufficient and well prepared Nomination Statement, will not succeed in the MRS Fellow selection process. The following structure is suggested for the Nomination Statement: Brief Introduction First Topic: Description of one principal achievement or endeavor, placing it in context of both significance and success. It should concisely cite relevant, evidential support, such as key publications, related honors and awards, patents, professional appointments, related service/leadership/outreach/editorial activities, etc. Second Topic: Description of another principal achievement being cited. Third Topic, Fourth Topic, etc., if needed Brief Summary. This Nomination Statement file should be informative, clear and concise. It may include graphics, but they are not required.

*File Upload for Nomination Statement: PDF or Word documents only, not to exceed 5 pages and 3MB max per file.

*Letters of support: Provide two separate letters of support from sources familiar with the nominee's work.

*File Upload for Supporting Letter 1: PDF or Word documents only, not to exceed 5 pages and 3MB max per file.

*File Upload for Supporting Letter 2: PDF or Word documents only, not to exceed 5 pages and 3MB max per file.

*Curriculum Vitae: The Curriculum Vitae is intended to serve only as a source of supplemental backup information, if required, for the selection committee to consult. This should be a CV that supports the Nomination Statement, and that could also provide helpful background information. Inclusion of lists of relevant publications, patents, honors, and professional appointments is useful.

*File Upload for CV (8 pages maximum) PDF or Word documents only, with 8 pages maximum and 3MB per file. Once the files are uploaded, you will see a screen confirming your submission and you will receive an email confirmation. If you do not see this screen, your submission did not go through. Please make sure each file is below 3MB and resubmit the package. If the submission does not upload and transmit properly, please contact fellows@mrs.org.
