Awards Terms of Reference
The following are some suggested criteria for the Recognition Committee in evaluating nominations/applications for the FEJ Fry Medal, RG Boutilier Award, Public Education Award, Public Awareness Award, and the Margolis Award.
For all awards, the committee will adhere to the principles and best practices for ensuring equality, diversity, and inclusion in their evaluation of the nominees. Committee members should reflect on and acknowledge their own unconscious biases with regard to race, ethnicity, religion, national origin, mental or physical ability, age, gender identity or expression, and sexual orientation. Committees should be aware of and explicitly address unconscious bias, including but not limited to biases associated with particular sub-fields or types of career paths or the personal characteristics of nominees.
Committee members should reflect the current diversity of the membership of the society, where possible. General procedures for evaluation of nominations/applications by the committee will involve a rubric for each award based on criteria for each award. Scores will be shared with the whole committee followed by a discussion to reach a decision.
