Nomination Form Nomination deadline: November 15th We welcome nominations for the Hynes Award for New Investigators at any time. All nominations received before November 15th of each year will be considered for the subsequent year. Nominations should include a CV or resume of the nominee as well as the paper for which the candidate is being nominated. The Hynes Award recognizes an outstanding paper led by a new investigator. In our deliberations, the committee also wishes to appreciate the broader impacts of nominated papers, and any additional contributions by nominees. Thus, whereas nominations will primarily be judged on the scientific merits and impact of the paper, the nominee’s role in developing the research and the broader considerations of the nominee as a new investigator and contributor to the SFS community will also be considered. Toward that end, the committee has developed a new nomination process based a set of six directed questions (see below), each of which will be given equal weight in the evaluation process.
