DNP Mentoring Award

_NOTE: The call for nominations for the Division of Nuclear Physics Mentoring Award opens in November._

The American Physical Society (APS) is a nonprofit membership organization working to advance and diffuse the knowledge of physics through its outstanding research journals, scientific meetings, and education, outreach, advocacy, and international activities. APS represents more than 50,000 members, including physicists in academia, national laboratories, and industry in the United States and throughout the world.

This APS award from the Division of Nuclear Physics (DNP) is intended to recognize Division of Nuclear Physics members who have had an exceptional impact as mentors of nuclear scientists and students. This mentoring could be through teaching or research or science-related activities.

The award will consist of a certificate indicating the citation chosen by the selection committee. If the recipient requests reimbursement for travel to the meeting where the award is presented, this will be covered by the DNP.

Nominations will be active for three years.
