Current North America Award Winners

SETAC North America awards and fellowships are divided into three categories: Professional awards, research fellowships and student awards.

Each award category is evaluated by separate guidelines but maintains the intent of the Society’s award process. Unless an award specifies otherwise, candidates may be self-nominated or nominated by an individual or group and SETAC members or nonmembers (guests) from the North America, Asia-Pacific or Latin America geographic units.
