Review of Nominations
• State coordinators convene state
selection committees of prominent
mathematicians, scientists, mathematics
and science educators, and past
awardees to select up to five
mathematics and five science finalists
for recognition at the state level and for
submission to NSF. To ensure
consistency, state selection committees
review their applications using the same
criteria and scoring information that
was approved by OSTP.
• NSF (EHR) convenes a National
Selection Committee of prominent
mathematicians, scientists, mathematics
and science educators, and past
awardees that review the application
packets of the state finalists and make
recommendations to NSF. NSF reviews
these recommendations and
recommends one awardee in both
mathematics and science for all eligible
jurisdictions, when possible, to OSTP.
Alternatively, NSF may recommend two
awardees from a discipline in a
jurisdiction, when warranted.
Award Ceremony
The awardees are hosted for 3–4 days
in Washington, DC, for a variety of
professional development sessions and
celebratory activities. Each awardee
receives a citation signed by the
President and $10,000 from NSF. If
scheduling permits, the President meets
the teachers for a photo opportunity at
the White House. The Director of OSTP
and the Director of NSF present the
citations to the teachers at an awards
ceremony. Awardees also have the
opportunity to meet their congressional
representatives and education
representatives from other federal
agencies.
Estimate of Burden: These are annual
award programs with application
deadlines varying according to the
program. Public burden also may vary
according to program; however, across
all the programs, it is estimated that
each submission will average 19 hours
per respondent. If the nominator is
thoroughly familiar with the
disciplinary background of the nominee,
time spent to complete the nomination
may be considerably reduced.
Respondents: Individuals, businesses
or other for-profit organizations,

Medal of Science, 80; for the Alan T.
