NCSCE Invites Nominations for Bennett Award

The William E. Bennett Award for Extraordinary Contributions to Citizen Science was established by NCSCE and named in honor of its first recipient for his lifetime contributions to citizen science. The first award was presented to its namesake at a ceremony on Capitol Hill on March 31, 2009.

The William E. Bennett Award is awarded annually to a person, team or institution whose SENCER and other related activities have made exemplary and extraordinary contributions to citizen science.

To nominate a colleague, please send a letter that will allow the review committee to assess the individual's contributions to citizen science. A CV for the nominated individual should be included, and up to two supporting letters of support may be submitted but are not required. The individual selected to receive the Bennett Award will be invited to the 2010 NCSCE Washington Symposium and Capitol Hill Poster Session, during which he or she will be recognized for their achievements.
