[email protected] The Goldschmidt and Clarke awards will normally be given annually at the V.M. Goldschmidt Conference, but may be reserved at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Neither award is normally shared, except in highly unusual cases, such as independent discoveries or joint work where the contributions of the co-workers are essentially equal. Members of the Board are ineligible for the duration of their terms. Past medalists are permanently ineligible. Nominations should specify the name, address, citizenship, and chief fields of specialization of the nominee, and be accompanied by a curriculum vitae and bibliography of the nominee, limited to two pages each, and up to three supporting letters. Nominations should also be accompanied by a letter from the nominator giving name, address, phone number, signature, and a few paragraphs summarizing why the candidate is suitable for the award. Nominations for the Clarke Award should be accompanied by a copy of the paper(s) for which the nominee is to be considered for the award, together with a statement explaining the significance of the work. Nominators should also specify the nominee’s final degree, the degree advisor’s name, the year granted, and the name of the granting institution. All nominations will be considered by the Award Committees and will remain active for three years, unless the candidate becomes ineligible due to time limitations (Clarke), or on grounds of membership on the Board or on one of the Award Committees. Such nominations will then be tabled for the duration of this nominee’s term, then reactivated for the balance of the three year period after expiration of the term. Award winners are chosen by the Board of Directors, normally from between a nominee and an alternate recommended by each Award Committee. The awards are based solely on scientific merit, without regard to citizenship or membership in the Society.
